That the dominant religion in Manila, the Visayas and Mindanao was Islam; and That there was already an organized political government in the country called barangay headed by a rajah or a datu . Rizal also noted that a Chinese chronicle of the 12 th century mentioned that the people of Luzon were honest and hardworking.

7. Annotation of Morga’s “ Sucesos de las Islas Filipinas” and others… Rizal wanted to write a history to disprove the allegation of the friars that our ancestors were savage and uncivilized people. He knew that such statements were a product of bigot views of a race who are proud of their heritage. He also wrote many articles for the La Solidaridad to counter the attacks of Fr. Rodriguez on the Noli , generally entitled “ Cuestiones de Sumo Interes .” Wrote a pamphlet entitled “La Vision del Fray Rodriguez,” using the penname “ Dimasalang .” Also wrote “To the Women of Malolos ” in which he encouraged the women to pursue their education and not merely blind followers of the friars. He contributed articles to the Trubners Record, related to Asian Studies such as the “Two Eastern Fables,” and “Specimens of Tagala Folklore.”
