Dr. Antonio de Morga's "Sucesos de las Islas Filipinas" gives us a peek of how our forefathers lived
before the Spaniards arrived. The friars' rigorous Christianization had not totally eradicated the indios'
"tiempo de gentilidad" or heathendom, when we were pagans in the sight of the Spaniards, even though
the book was published 43 years after Miguel Lopez de Legazpi arrived. Rizal compared what he read in
de Morga to the accounts of early missionaries such as Fathers Gaspar San Agustin, Franciso Ignacio
Alcina, Franciso Colin, Pedro Chirino, and others, and his incisive annotations included references to
other ilustrados who were in Europe at the same time, such as Trinidad H. Pardo de Tavera, Pedro
Paterno, and Isabelo de los Reyes.
