Rizal

1. The Philippines a Century Hence

2. An article written by Jose Rizal on La S olidaridad in Madrid between September 30, 1889 and February 1890. This essay presents a radical prophesy of Rizal of how the Philippines would be through the century. Rizal presented a clear idea of how our Motherland will end up centuries later proposing that our country will end up in either of the three ways:

3. That the Philippines will remain to be colony of Spain but will be in good terms with its captors. That the Philippines will try to cut the ties of our Motherland from its captors through violent means. And lastly that we will be colonized by another country.

4. Causes of the miseries suffered by the Filipino people: Spain’s implementation of her military policies Deterioration and disappearance of Filipino indigenous culture. Passivity and submissiveness to the Spanish colonizers.

5. The Spanish were able to take hold of the Philippines for three centuries. If this state of affairs continues, what will become in the Philippines within a century? - people start to awaken and if the government doesn’t change it’s act, a revolution will occur. - they will declare themselves independent - the Philippine will remain under Spanish colonization, but with more law and greater liberty.

6. What Rizal had envisioned in his essay came true. In 1898, the Americans wrestled with Spain to win the Philippines, and eventually took over the country. Five decades after Rizal’s death, the Philippines gained long –awaited independence.

11. Responsibilities of the Filipino Mothers to their children Youth is a flower –bed that is to bear rich fruit and must accumulate wealth for its descendants To awaken and prepare the mind of the child for every good and desirable idea. There are many points mentioned in this portion of Rizal’s letter, but the central idea is:

12. Whatever the mother shows to her children is what the children will also become

13. Rizal’s advice to unmarried men and women Appearance and looks can be very deceiving Three things that young women should look for a man she intends to be her husband: - a noble and honored name - a manly heart - a high spirited incapable of being satisfied with engendering slaves

14. The Indolence of the Filipinos

15. Published in La solidaridad Madrid, Spain ( July 15, 1890) Why did Rizal write this essay? - Rizal wrote this essay to defend the Filipinos from the charge that they were born indolent. Indolent - idle, Lazy, little love of work, lack of activity

16. Causes of the Indolence of the Filipinos War - The inhabitants of the Philippines were dragged to maintain the honor of Spain (thousands and thousands of Filipinos were sent but nothing was said if they ever returned to their homes)

17. Piratical attacks - burned down the towns, captured and enslaved men - reduced more and more the number of inhabitants of the Philippines

18. Attitude of the friars - At that time, the friars advised their poor parishioners: - to stop work in the mines - to abandon their industries The friars told them that it is easier for a poor man to enter heaven.

19. Lessening encouragement to labor - trade contact or relation between the Bornean, Siamese, Cambodians and Japanese nations were being cut off. Miserly return for one’s labor - Encomenderos - compelled Filipinos to work for their benefit - Treated them like slaves

20. Gambling - The sugal ( from Spanish jugar , to gamble) indicates that gambling was unknown in the Philippines before the Spaniards - Balasa , From the Spanish word barajar , the introduction of cards.

21. Fiestas - Gave their contribution to large number of fiestas, lengthy masses, novenae , processions, and rosaries - Filipinos were much less lazy before the word miracle was introduced into their language

22. Curtailment of individual liberty - to cut off, to cut short, doubtful - individual liberty is being cut off - accused of being a filibuster (rebel) or a suspect

23. Apathy of the Government - the products coming from the Philippines were burdened with impost and duties and have no free entry in the port of the mother country and the consumption of the products are not encouraged - due to fraudulent (dishonest, deceitful) manipulations of the Chinese, the Filipino industries were dying.

24. Ownership of the estates by the friars - the friars have deceived many by making them believe that those estates were prospering because those were under their supervision. - the best estates, the best tracts of land in some provinces were in the hands of the religious corporation.

25. Lack of moral support - absence of moral support - absences of help from the government - education of Filipinos

26. Deprivation of human dignity - Priests who boldly declared that it is evil for Filipinos to know Castilian, that the Filipinos should not be separated from his carabao , and that he should not have any further ambition. - the students have to contend with the daily preaching that lowers human dignity, gradually or brutally killing their self respect

27. Feeling of inferiority - constants plucking (pulling, removing) of the soul - paralyze all tendency towards advancement

28. Vicious of the intelligence and will - “you can’t do more than old so and so! Don’t aspire to be greater than the curate! You belong to an inferior race! You haven’t any energy” - they say this to the child; and as it is repeated so often, it has inevitably engraved in his mind and it seals and shape all his actions

29. Lack of an ideal for a good worker - the Filipinos spirit were transformed according to the taste of the nation that imposed upon them its God its law INSTEAD: - ideal and prototype tanned and muscular laborer (who should have brought along with him the useful iron implements and the hoes to till the fields

30. BUT IT WAS AN: - aristocratic lord who brought along with him stamped papers, crucifers, bulls and prayer book AS A RESULT: - the imitative people became clerks, devout, prayer loving, acquired ideas of luxurious and ostentatious living without improving correspondingly their means of subsistence
