    Rizal agreed with early Spanish accounts that described pre-colonial Philippine societies as having established governments, cultures, and economies, believing the country could progress without Spanish involvement. He sought to educate Filipinos about their history and culture prior to colonization to foster understanding of the present and build a framework for an independent future. Rizal argued that portrayals of Filipinos as inherently backward and lazy under colonial rule were incorrect, and that any lack of industry was actually caused by the exploitative conditions imposed by Spanish colonialism rather than inherent traits of the people.

    1. Do you agree with Rizal’s presentation of our pre-colonial history?

    Why or why
    not?

    - Yes, I agree with Rizal's comment from Antonio de Morgas Sucesos de las Islas Filipina
    regarding pre-colonial history. I think it was. Rizal believed that the Philippines could
    develop without the help of the Spaniards because it already had an established form of
    government, culture and economy Progress in Spanish doesn't mean we're lagging but
    given that we have plenty of resources and a skilled workforce, we can also thrive
    gradually. Understanding the past is important because it enables people to understand
    the past, which in turn enables them to understand the present. The presentation of the
    story gave them perspective with insight into not only the culture from which they came,
    but also into a less familiar culture, enhancing their cross-cultural awareness and
    understanding. Helping us to understand the world better, Rizal's presentation revealed
    the importance of embracing the world for Filipinos. Rizal didn't want people to forget
    their pre-colonial history, so this presentation was about building a framework for
    building a life without understanding how things work in the world It was intended to
    help Filipinos understand that they cannot.

    2. How did Rizal envision the pre-colonial Filipinos? Why?

    - Rizal understood in Spanish colonial discourse, the backwardness of the Filipinos was
    due to their inertia. that backwardness should be blamed on their rulers, rather than on the
    It is connected and is a major reason why Filipinos are hesitant to work In his book, he
    mentioned it and called for adapting work habits to the tropical climate. Rizal pointed out
    that Filipinos have historically been industrious, meaning inertia must have a social cause
    found in colonial rule Of course, Rizal's problem handling has its weaknesses. It is not
    reasonable to explain the loss of willingness to work caused by the exploitative
    conditions of colonial rule as inertia. Finally, Rizal addresses the suffering of precolonial
    Filipinos and tries to help solve the problem. It was made. His books helped people know
    and understand their rights and fight for their country. Filipino society was not due to the
    inherent defects of the indigenous people, but rather to the distortions of colonial rule,
    and Rizal argued that liberation would come through enlightenment.
