Rizal Annotates Morga

Antonio de Morgan was a Spanish official that stayed in the Philippines in the late 16th century. First published in 1609, his assessors de las Islas Filipinas provided descriptions of life in the archipelago. While the observations proved to be important insights into life in early colonial Philippines, the biases and assumptions he carried provided a certain view. This colonial vista was thoroughly recognized by Jose Rizal, and he sought to provide an intervention when in 1889 he embarked on an impressive task of annotating the successors. Let's talk about this in this episode of Rizal on Air. Hi, I'm Aaron Maliar. I am D. Candolaria. I am Janet Rignin de Nistelia and Vec Al Borja. And you are listening to podcasts, conversations and Philippine History, Politics and Society. Welcome everyone to our continuing conversations. I am D. Nistelia. In the second part of Rizal on Air. And last week, we talked about our two parts special. We talked about it. Although we are not sure. We know that. We are still able to see the same season. We are also talking about every chapter. We are talking about audio books. You want that? (laughing) - Regular. - I owe man, no, don't do that. But there's no other way. Because you're the only one who knows. Then there's a chapter where we have annotations. Oh, right? I'll try to do it on my own, because. - What's the meaning of that? What's the meaning of podcasting? - Because the answer to that is, I'm here in the annotations of the result of the success. - And very important, it's the work of this result. - Oh, right, so. Before the publication of annotations in the result, very rare, it's the source of the success. - So again, very important, it don't go on, that's the result. Because in a way intervention to, it's some Filipino, it's a historical account about the Philippines, it's a new, that's a new one. So that's the result, in 1889, the annotations, that was published in the same year. But in the past, it was published, so it didn't go on while it was in London, and then worked on it and published it in Paris. (laughing) At least, it's a present. Ah, this morning I hit bananas from your country, so I'm like, "Okay, thank you." (laughing) (laughing) Oh, God. - I'm not sure if I can tell you. - I have a Jane. But yes, it seems like you said that the DNA is still the same. But if you have a lot of engineering stereotypes about the Philippines. So, I think the labor policy of the Philippines, and if we want to see that episode of our podcast, we will see it again. - Oh, right. Because Dr. Jean and I are in France. - Oh, yes, the nurse, no. If not the age. - Of course, if you can tell, you can see the usual destination. - Or in the 90s, it seems like an entertainer in Japan. There are many destinations. But recently, it seems like there is no use. - Correct, correct, correct. So anyway, that's what I'm talking about. Because it is a part of what we are doing in Annotations near Israel. So yung kung paano tinakil niRizal, yung perceptions at views ni Morga, sa mga nao-observe niya sa Pilipinas. Na posibiling niya fulli na kuha, or na intindihan yung meaning. Kasi, hindi siya native. Tamak, kaya nga talagang malakintask yung na asip na to niRizal. Kasi in many ways, it served to contextualize Morga's views. At in this way, masnakaro ng nuance yung pagbaba sa natin sa isang primary source about life in the Philippines, ngaong early colonization. Kasi nga ang isang value ng mga nga niyatong account, katilad ng susesos. Ito yung meron tayo, to also look at the life of early Filipinos, life in the islands, bagod mo ating ang kodong ng lismo. Lalo ng oong 16th century, nga. So yung gundawani Rizal, it's a way to read Morga from a Filipino point of view. And I think ang galing ng na isip ng hari nano yung wing yung paganotit, kasi ang detaliado talaga tapos bawat poin si nasagut niya. So ito example, yung isang example baka poedin natin paghinggan. Ito yung sinabi ni Morga about sa pagkaen o ng mga Filipino. The regular daily food is friends. Together with boiled fish of which there is an abundance and pork and venison. Likewise meat of wild buffalo or carabau. They prefer meat and fish. Salt fish which begin to decompose and smell. Tapos, ito naman yung annotation Rizal. This is another preoccupation of the Spaniards, who like any other nation, in the matter of food, those that to which they are not a costume reason known to them. The fish that Morga mentions does not taste better when it is beginning to rot. All in the contrary. It is bagoong and all those who have eaten it and tasted it no, that it is not or ought not to be rotten. Od iba, bagoong yun mi? Hindi buluk na ista. Trude ba? Alam o? In fairness, dialedan sa article ng anis or ambit o kampo. Yung din yung like ng pinapabasa sa klasi. Kapag susesus din las islas Filipinas yung topik. Ito talaga yung pinakabentang part. De ba? Kasi parang ng dinila alam ko ano yung bagoong. De ba tapos? Sigo, roba ka mas masak pa sila. Kung malaman nila pa napiniprepar yon. De ba? Parang gruburo niteran de ba? Bidubuluk talaga. Oh, so kung indika talaga pinoy, isipin mo talaga. De ba? Bakit tayo kung makaay ng nabubuluk na ista. De ba? So, pinunong nabasa ni-resale yung account na yun. Isip niya talaga parang. Ah, okay. Bagoong yun. Oh de ba? Parang, parang indisha nagtaka na. Ah, hindi lang yung alam, de ba? So, yan ngayong sinasabi natin kanina na. Shempre, may kultura involved de, de ba? So, hindi yung alam yun. Dahil galing sa ibang kultura si Morgan. Disha aware, oh, sanay. De ba? No, the same way, hindi naman tayo. For example, kung makaay ng Kaviar. Araw-araw, de ba? Dara, hindi ka sanay. Araw-araw, dito sa japan, hindi naman nga gansanayong dila mo sa pagkain, dito, like, the idea of eating raw fish, for example, parang ang foring niya, di ba? Pero, masosanay kanay ni? Oh, yung naray ko. Kaya tanagay mo di umapakayon yung sashimi. Kasi hila o da. So, divayong, yung gana-tong simply intervention na isaal. Actually, shed light or red, yun sa statement na mas prefer doo, kapag nabubuluk na. Ganyan yung relevance nung anotation yung ayon ay? So, naman, sa isaang ang paper pani, ni Doctoratee na Clemente na Manangation Center ng UP. Sinabi niya, na very important train yung anotations ni-resal ng susesos. Kasi, nakatulong dindo yun, to understand further, for example, yung complexity ng politics sa sinawang barangay, yung trade networks and economic system lalo na at yung relations within these networks. Luma ba sa nga ito sa anotations ni-resal? Yung isa niya interpretation na yung mga chief na mga barangay, or yung mga datu, nagfulform din ng confederation. Para ang isa sa mga early academics to interpret the system like that. Ganyan din, may mga notesha on the justice system at paano yung governance at yung loss. At actuali sa bingan natin kanina de ba, may anotations in-resal na nag-reflect on the trade networks at relations with other Asian politics. Which may hints pa si-resal na talagang drasticali binaagun ang kolonialismo nyo ito mga networks na ito. And along the same lines, sabi parin sa paper ni Doctoratee Clemente, may banggit lang din si-resal about how colonization impacted, if not reduced, yung local industries. So may rung siyang ganong interpretation na kolonialismo, really changed life in the islands. And I think, siya prekong galinkadun sa Filipino point of view, daba na paka-import ng intervention ng ganon. And I think aside from the anotations, bingan-importan work ni-resal, lalo na dun sa way, the way he looked at Morga's presentation of the Philippines. Remarkable din yung method ni-resal, kasi nagsasitrain siya ng iba pang mga sources, actually. So in a way, academic history talaga yung approach, hindi lang naman besta alamayon na Filipino ako, so may karapatana ko dito na magsabi dito. Kumpaka may rigor din naman talaga, diba. Odo, hindi lang naman sempre oil praise ang mga tao sa goa niyang ito. In fact, as noted by Ambedo Campo, kait ngayong kanyang bestie na si Blument treat. Snabay niya ka-resal na, actually hindi naman masyadong bhabi ng ginawam-orisal. Nopaka, no, parang okay lang bana, hindi ka pahapin na naka sa bingan. Hindi naman yung bago, no. Kasi, siya pre-tradition na yan ng zurman academics, pero ito para yung isang sabi ni Blument treat, nasa isang note niya about this work of result. These new points of view give your notes an imperishable value, an undeniable value even for those who dream of an inaccessible spirituality of race or nationality. This caller will salute your errantite annotation with enthusiasm. The colonial politicians gratitude and respect. Through these lines run off lot of serious observations, equally interesting, and important to historians and ministers of overseas colonies alike. Odiba, and I think mag-and-dang mag-appreciating natin, ito ang annotations niya in context. Kasi diba, ito na yung height ng propaganda movement nila nang mga kapwa niya rostrato. I mean, napablish nga niya yung nolibedi-stime at na kusura tanang sequel. So napakahalag natong ginawanya na to, kasi, it's show the power of history in making sense of present context. Agree. Kasi diba yung mga mode ng mga illustrado. Ipakilala talaga, yung Pilipinas, at yung mga nangayari sa Pilipinas, sa mga ispanil, and sigurus sa mga europeo nano, in general, para mga intindihan nila no, kong bakit kailangan ng reformat pagbabago. So, so we naginawan nirizal na bumaliksia sa kasi saian, nabigyanyan ng context no yung colonialismo yung impact nito at yung talaban ng kultura kong baga. Tama, no. So, I think, no yung point na yon na yung impact ng annotations niya, also speaks of the power of history. Pada na natin, I might drop moment yon, para dito sa episode natin ngayon. So, kung gaano ka powerful, kung baga ng aayong kasi saian. So, okay. So, next episode, itulin natin yung ganitong tema natin at pagusapan na manaten yung isapang essay nirizal na tomiting in naman sa kultura ng mga Pilipino. Yung essay ngayon na, sobre laindulencia de los Pilipinos. Tongkol sa, suposidli katamaran ng mga Pilipino. Very exciting yung episode nyan, for sure.
