Note2
In his excessive zeal to provide an apologetics for prehispanic Filipino culture the author, first Filipino novelist, presents this erudite study adjusting the bibliography to his ideology to form the theory of a pre-existing indigenous civilization. In spite of his erudite preparation, the author makes a lot of unjustified and even fantastic claims that could be disproved by serious ethnographical studies. Nevertheless, the work shows the author’s profound knowledge of our indigenous customs. He styles himself as Maginóo Paterno. (see Retana, no. 2518)
