Not withstanding this, Rizal's writing is more than just a record of events; it shows how farsighted he was and how well he understood the main issues of colonialism that were happening at the time.

His important work, "The Indolence of the Filipino," critically explores the impact of Spanish rule on the Filipino character. Challenging the negative stereotype of Filipinos being lazy, Rizal argues that what appeared as indolence was actually a result of the colonial environment. In this essay, I aim to explore how colonialism has molded and sometimes warped various Filipino virtues, especially focusing on creativity, industriousness, and perseverance. Through Rizal's detailed view of the colonial influence, we can better understand how these virtues were transformed, moving beyond the oversimplified and biased views of that era. This examination isn't just about history; it's a journey to grasp the lasting effects of colonialism on Filipino culture and society.

People who know a lot about history and are dressed in their best historical clothes often answer this question. But in "Veneration Without Understanding," Renato Constantino is brave enough to show that Philippine pride and its heroes are not as simple as they seem. People usually say that José Rizal was a hero, but Constantino doesn't agree.
