THE PHILIPPINES A
CENTURY HENCE
• Rizal predicted that our country
would remain a Spanish colony.
• Rizal predicted that if the
Filipinos were continued to be
abused and exploited, the people
would revolt.
• Rizal ultimately thought that
when Spain's control over the
country was removed, the
Philippines could possibly be
invaded by another country.
COLONIES
ESTABLISHED TO
SUBSERVE POLICIES
AND COMMERCE
If an attempt is made to see in
the Islands a lode to be
exploited, however great may
be the loyalty of the Filipinos, it
will be impossible to hinder the
operations of the inexorable
laws of history. (Abuses to
Human Rights, Lack of Freedom
of the Press, and the Lack of
representation in the Spanish
Courts)
THE INDOLENCE OF THE
FILIPINOS

• Defense to the alleged

indolence of the Filipinos.
• Why did people not work
during the Spanish reign.
• Filipinos are not indolent by
nature.
• Spanish arrival brought the
decline in the Philippine's
economic activities.
THE INDOLENCE OF
THE FILIPINOS

•Economic decline was caused by the

following:
• Native revolts and internal disorders
were caused by the implementation
of the Spanish rule.
• Spanish wars were fought by the
Filipinos.
• Muslim pirates plundered coastal
Catholic villages.
• Forced labour.
• Unwanted work.
• Spanish negligence to Filipino
workers.
THE INDOLENCE OF
THE FILIPINOS
•Economic decline was caused by the
following:
• Bad example brought by the
Spaniards.
• Catholic teachings were being
taught the wrong way around.
• Gambling was encouraged by the
Spaniards.
• Spanish education does not
prioritize economic activities.
• The Philippines, by nature, is
abundant in resources.
INTERNATIONAL
ASSOCIATION OF
FILIPINOLOGISTS

•The idea of an association to invest Filipino self-

identity came upon Rizal before the end of 1888.
This was due to the incoming International
Exposition of 1889 in Paris, France that many
people will observe the beauty of Philippine
culture.
PROJECT FOR FILIPINO
COLLEGE
IN HONG KONG

• Rizal intended to establish a modern

college within Hong Kong.
• Mariano Cunanan promised to help raise
Forty-thousand Pesos (Php40,000) as the
initial capital for the project institution.
• Subjects to be taught in the planned
university were Ethics, Religion, Natural
Law, Civil Law, Deportment, Hygiene,
Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Natural
History, and Geography.
• The college did not come to fruition.
POR TELEFONO

• Discusses social issues and

plans for the Philippines by two
friars.
• It was published in 1889 as a
reply to a friar named Fr.
Salvador Font in connection to

Me Tangere and for initiating
the banning of Noli in the fall
of 1889.
