Description
Summary:[EN] In a time of development of the liberal State, of the creation of prefessional technical bodies at the service of the State, and of the reform and modernization of the Philippines, this text analyzes, from a political and colonial historical perspective, the way chosen to develop in the archipelago studies on typhoons and earthquakes that ravaged the islands and the surrounding seas. In order to better understand this process, the complex path of collaboration and confict between the colonial Administration, the technicians at the service of the State and the Jesuit scientists of the Observatory of the Ateneo Municipal de Manila are analyzed. Special attention is devoted to the relationship established between Fr. Feredico Faura, director of the Observatory, José Batllé and Hernández, general inspector of Telegraphs, and José Centeno y García, inspector general of Minas, in the last decades of 19th century.
