History of the Philippine Islands
"History of the Philippine Islands" by Antonio de Morga is a historical account published in 1609. Based on personal experiences and eyewitness testimonies, this work documents the early years of Spanish colonization in the Philippines, including Filipino customs, traditions, and religious practices. The book later attracted the attention of Philippine national hero José Rizal, who found it problematic yet compelling enough to annotate and republish with corrections, challenging its Eurocentric perspective and historical inaccuracies.
