    Rizal agreed with the presentation of pre-colonial Philippine history, using his works to demonstrate that Filipino culture existed long before the Spanish arrived and was distinct from Spanish culture. He believed Spanish colonialism did not improve life for Filipinos and highlighted pre-Spanish history and culture to teach Filipinos about their identity and culture in the face of rising nationalism. Rizal addressed imperialist views of Filipino laziness by showing evidence that pre-colonial Filipino society was sophisticated, implying colonialism was responsible for perceived backwardness rather than any inherent Filipino trait.

    Do you agree with Rizal’s presentation of our pre-colonial history? Why or why not?

    Yes, I agree about Rizal’s presentation of pre-colonial. Rizal used his works to demonstrate pre-colonial
    history. He stressed the distinctions in culture between the Spanish and the Filipinos. He was hinting that
    the history of the Filipino people existed long before the arrival of the Spanish. He said that the spread of
    Spanish culture in the Philippines had not improved the quality of life for the native population or raised
    living standards. Using Morga's book Sucesos de las Islas Filipinas (Events of the Philippine Islands),
    Rizal wished to teach the Filipino people about their pre-Spanish history. In the face of rising nationalism,
    he further highlighted their genuine culture and identity.
    How did Rizal envision the pre-colonial Filipinos? Why?
    Rizal addressed the imperialist perception of Filipino laziness by delving into pre-colonial history. The
    evidence showed that pre-colonial Filipino society was comparatively sophisticated, indicating that
    colonialism was to blame for the nation's alleged backwardness.
