#RizalOnAir Ep. 16: Rizal Annotates Morga (Annotations of Morga's Sucesos de las Islas Filipinas)

Instead of writing a history of the Philippines, Rizal chose to write a novel that exposed Philippine society's ills. But he just couldn't let go of history, so instead of writing a new one, he annotated Antonio de Morga's Sucesos de las Islas Filipinas.
