    This document is a reflection paper submitted for a class activity at De La Salle College of Saint Benilde. In the paper, the student discusses two reforms that are still needed in the Philippines based on issues identified in Jose Rizal's book "The Philippines: A Century Hence." The first issue is the injustice that still occurs in society today, and the reform proposed is for the government to emphasize fair treatment for all people. The second issue is that the Philippines is still bullied by more powerful countries despite declaring independence long ago. The proposed reform is for the country to rely less on other nations and instead capitalize on its own natural resources.

    Activity No. 5 Reflection Paper

    It cannot be denied that many have already changed in the Philippines from the time Dr. Rizal
    wrote “The Philippines: A Century Hence”. Nonetheless, it is equally true that up to this very
    day, there are still a lot of compelling issues to be addressed as a nation. What reforms do you
    think are necessary for us to attain the societal transformation that we are longing for? (You can
    cite at least 2). Please be mindful of the substance and clarity of your work. 20 points.

    It is very true that we are now living most of the forecasts of Dr. Jose Rizal in his book,
    “The Philippines: A Century Hence”. However, despite the major changes that happened to the
    Philippines from Dr. Rizal’s time to our current time, I could still see some issues that continue
    to linger in our country to this day. The first issue that I could still see to this day that Dr. Rizal
    had wish to be gone is the injustice that continues to happen in the country. I know that the
    injustice that some Filipinos experience today is nowhere compared to the injustices that the
    Filipinos experienced during Dr. Rizal’s time, but isn’t it contradicting that a country that has
    long declared as a free country, continues to experience injustice in is society? The best solution
    that I could think of to address this problem is for the government to emphasize and exercise fair
    treatment to all the people. It sounds like an unrealistic feat, but I believe that if the country is
    united in achieving true freedom against oppression, it is more than possible that the country
    could eliminate injustice among the society. Another issue that I see that continues to exist
    during our time is that the Philippines continues to be bullied by more powerful countries.
    Despite declaring independence, a long time ago, I could still see how some powerful countries
    continue to treat the Philippines as a lower-class country. I know that the kind of oppression that
    the Philippines faced before was more brutal than what the Philippines is facing now, but I still
    could not see the country being able to exercise the full independence that it has. The best
    possible solution, that I could think of, for the Philippines to address this problem is for the
    country to stop heavily relying on more powerful countries, but instead learn how to capitalize
    and use the natural resources that the country has, instead of having other countries abuse it in
    exchange of their minimal help.
