Question

What are the hoaxes during Marcos administration? What kind of historical criticism did?

Answer 1

Answer:

The Code of Rajah Kalantiaw was a supposed legal code in the epic history Maragtas that is said to have been written in 1433 by Datu Kalantiaw, a chief on the island of Negros in the Philippines. The code is now believed by many historians to have been a hoax and that it had actually been written in 1913 by Jose E. Marco as a part of his historical fiction Las antiguas leyendas de la Isla de Negros (English: The Ancient Legends of the Island of Negros), which he attributed to a priest named Jose Maria Pavon.

In 1990, Philippine historian Teodoro Agoncillo described the code as "a disputed document."[1] Despite doubts on its authenticity, some history texts continue to present it as historical fact.[2]
