--At British Museum, Rizal had pieced

together the history of the Philippines
which revealed that even before the
coming of the Spaniards; the Filipinos
already had a developed culture.

Morgas Sucesos de
las Islas Filipinas

its objective representation of life in
the Philippines at the time of the
arrival of the Spaniards.
--Morga devoted a long final chapter
to the study of Filipino customs,
manners and religions in the early
years of the Spanish conquest.

communication?
