    Antonio de Morga Sánchez Garay (29 Died 21 July 1636 (aged 76)


    November 1559 – 21 July 1636) was a Quito, Ecuador
    Spanish soldier, lawyer and a high-ranking
    colonial official for 43 years, in Occupation Colonial official, lawyer and writer
    the Philippines , New Spain and Peru (1594
    to 1604), where he was president of Language Spanish
    the Real Audiencia for 20 years.
    He was also a historian. After being Citizenship Spanish
    reassigned to Mexico, he published the
    book Sucesos de las islas Filipinas in 1609, Alma mater University of Osuna
    considered one of the most important works University of Salamanca
    on the early history of the Spanish
    colonization of the Philippines. [1] As Deputy Governor in the Philippines, he
    restored the audencia. He took over the function of judge or oidor. He also
    took command of Spanish ships in a 1600 naval battle against Dutch
    corsairs, but suffered defeat and barely survived.
    He first served under Governor-General Luis Pérez Dasmariñas, who was
    interim after his father's death. Francisco Tello de Guzmán soon
    succeeded him, and Morga reported to him during most of his time in the
    colony. In his account of the colonial Philippines published in 1609, Morga
    noted the miserable condition suffered by many of the Spanish/Mexican
    soldiers, who were young, ill-paid and suffered in that unfamiliar
    environment. Few wanted to settle in Manila, and higher-level government
    officials also sought to leave the colony in a few years. His first two reports
    to the Crown covered a wide variety of topics,
    mentioning Japan, Mindanao, and China, in addition to civil, military and
    ecclesiastical activities within the colony.[2]
    He issued regulations for administrative reform, known as
    the Ordenzas. Among his reforms was to restore the audencia. In 1598 he
    resigned as lieutenant governor to assume the office of oidor, or judge, in
    the newly re-established Audiencia of Manila. The position required his
    removal from much public life.
    During this period, Morga encouraged the growth in trade between Spain
    and China, known as the galleon trade. Chinese ships came to Manila to
    trade. From there, the Spanish sent galleons to Acapulco, where goods
    were shipped to Mexico City and then to Veracruz, for transportation to
    Spain. They were paid for with Spanish/Mexican silver, which became a
    currency in China.[2]
    While stationed in Manila, Morga noted many of the wares imported from
    the Ming dynasty of China. He mentioned porcelain only once, although at
    this time it was becoming one of the greatest export items, along with silk,
    to Europe from China.[3] From his observation of textiles in the Manila
    inventory, the Spanish were buying:
    His history was first published in English in 1868
