He argues for the necessity of education and personal liberty as fundamental to overcoming this indolence. Rizal critiques various misguided attempts to remedy the situation, asserting that real change requires a profound understanding of the root causes of societal issues.

IV. Rizal's The Indolence of the Filipinos
Examine how Rizal keenly observed the effects of colonialism on Filipino creativity, industriousness, perseverance, and other virtues Dr. Jose Rizal, the Philippines' national hero, wrote an exploratory essay titled La Indolencia de los Filipinos, or "The Indolence of the Filipinos," to explain why his people were supposedly idle during Spanish colonization. The study of Filipino indolence seeks to understand the reasons for their lack of hard work during the Spanish colonial era. Rizal emphasized that Filipinos were diligent and hardworking long before the Spaniards arrived. Still, specific causes found their way to our country and changed the trajectory of our lives. The book claims that in the Middle Ages and even in some contemporary Catholic countries, the devil was blamed for whatever the superstitious people were unable to comprehend or the human perversity they were unwilling to admit. In the Philippines, sins, transgressions, and failings-individual and collective-are attributed to laziness. After analyzing the lifestyle of our country, we conclude that laziness exists. It's true that the Filipino people, who are among the most active in the world, work and struggle against men, the environment, and climate change, so they won't likely dispute this admission. Our analysis of national life leads us to the conclusion that laziness exists in our country. It's true that the Filipino people, who are among the most active in the world, work and struggle against men, the environment, and climate change, so they won't likely dispute this admission. It is essential to recognize that there is indolence there, both constructively and negatively; the distinction is that we consider it to be a result of the difficulties and backwardness rather than the root cause. Recognizing laziness as a chronic ailment rather than an inherited trait is critical in the Philippines. Prior to the Spanish arrival, the local population was engaged in productive activities such as trade with China, Japan, Arabia, Malaysia, and other Middle Eastern countries. The essay methodically explored the origins of this apparent passivity, backing up its claims with historical facts rather than mere speculation.

ALMONTE_Academic Paper on The Philippines A Century Hence by Dr. Jose Rizal
2024
José Rizal, the foretold Philippines' iconic hero, must have felt contemplating his homeland under Spanish rule. In his 1889 essay, "The Philippines A Century Hence," he doesn't just point fingers; he paints a future so real, it sends shivers down your spine. He begs for reforms, whispers of hope for progress within the existing colonial setup, while simultaneously prophesying the potential rise of a new oppressor-the United States. Brace yourselves, because Rizal's words are about to take us on a rollercoaster ride through history, philosophy, and a whole lot of "what ifs." Picture this: a Philippines stifled by a Spanish overlord, its education system churning out robots instead of independent thinkers. The economy? Choked by monopolies and taxes like a plant strangled by ivy. Even the vibrant soul of Filipino culture, its rich tapestry of traditions, is deemed inferior and shoved aside. It's enough to make you want to scream, right? But hold on, Rizal isn't here to fuel our outrage. He's here to offer a lifeline, a desperate plea for reform from within. He begs the Spanish government to see the Filipinos not as subjects, but as equals, deserving of fair representation and a say in their own destiny. He envisions economic reforms that empower locals, where monopolies get the boot and Filipinos aren't just cogs in a colonial machine. It's not a call for immediate revolution, but a whisper of "hey, we can do better, together.

Reflection Paper on "The Philippines a Century Hence" by Jose Rizal
The Philippines: A Century hence was written by Jose Rizal and was published in La Solaridad, a newspaper run by Filipino Illustrados in Spain. This essay was made to supplement his works, especially his two famous works “Noli Me Tangere” and El Filibusterismo” as his works made confusion on what it wants to entail to its readers. Because the readers of his works interpreted it as a means to spread the message of revolution but he do not condone violence and all he wanted is reformation and assimilation to what he called “the mother country” Spain. His work was heavily influenced by the enlightenment ideology spreading in Europe during his time and by the book of Feodor Jagor. His essay talks about the past what was the Philippines like before and the present time (during his time) and used it as a basis to form a hypothesis on what will happen to the Philippines in the future, hence it is not a random prediction. And what he told was did really happen in the Philippines later. His essay contains the miseries Filipinos experienced during the three decades of the Spanish regime, the reasons why the Filipinos awakened their nationalism, how the Spaniards keep the Filipino indolent and submissive, why Spain could not stop the liberal ideologies emergence in the Philippines, how it can lead to revolution, how to prevent the revolution and it is through reformation, what will happen if the Philippines becomes separated to Spain like how can the country keep its liberty from other foreign invaders, and who among the foreign invaders will colonize the Philippines. He forecasted that after many a century, the Philippines will be in the hands of new foreign masters.
