A Dialogue between Three Pioneering Historians: Morga, Rizal, and Paterno Inserted in the book, Morga’s Success annotated by Jose Rizal is a tantalizing set of handwritten notes, fragments torn from Morga’s book as well newspaper clippings on Spanish contemporary authors. These speak to Paterno’s frame of mind, responding to Rizal’s book — the second, written between the novel Noli and Fili. Paterno had also styled himself a ‘maguinoo’ of ancient Tagalog nobility, based on his own ancestry that dated back to Rajah Soliman of Manila. Lars Raymund Ubaldo notes, "These are the actual "research notes" [of Pedro Paterno] using [Morga's Sucesos] as his reference. Visible here are notes concerning matriarchy and the status of Filipina (mujer Filipina) and rulers of different polities during the early years of Spanish colonization (there is a list of these rulers (reyes)--Hamabar (i.e., Humabon of Cebu, Sicatuna of Bohol, Lacandola, Soliman, Panda[y] Pira, Zula, Si Lapulapu. etc. The notes are consistent with Paterno's foremost interest during his entire writing career: "antigua civilizacion."
