    The document summarizes Jose Rizal's annotation of Antonio de Morga's 1609 work "Sucesos de las Islas Filipinas". Rizal published his own version in Paris in 1890 with his own commentary and explanations. His goal was to provide context and correct perceptions of pre-Hispanic Philippine society. Some key points Rizal made were that indigenous Filipinos had their own advanced culture prior to colonization, and that Spanish rule exploited and damaged Filipino people and society. The document provides background on both Morga and his original work, as well as Rizal's motivations and additions.
