The Inevitable: Rizal's
Vision for the Philippines
Exploring the Concept of Inevitability in "The

Philippines: A Century Hence"
Understanding Inevitability
Definition: Inevitability refers to something
that is certain to happen, unavoidable.
Rizal's Application: In his essay, Rizal
applies this concept to the future of the
Philippines, predicting inevitable changes.
Factors Leading to Inevitability
Colonial Oppression: Spanish colonization
led to exploitation and oppression, fostering
resistance and nationalist sentiments.
Socioeconomic Conditions: Economic
disparities and social injustices fueled
discontent and calls for change.
Emerging Nationalism: Rizal observed a
growing sense of Filipino identity and
aspirations for independence.
Rizal's Vision for the Future
Hope for Independence: Rizal envisioned a
future where the Philippines would gain
independence from Spanish rule.
Progress and Development: He believed in
the potential for progress and development
once the Philippines was free from colonial
constraints.
Relevance Today
Contemporary Challenges: Many of the
issues Rizal addressed, such as social
inequality and political corruption, persist
in modern Philippines.
Continuing Struggle: The quest for social
justice, economic prosperity, and political
reform remains ongoing, reflecting the
enduring relevance of Rizal's ideas.
CHALLENGES
TO
FILIPINOS
However, there are questions on whether we are really independent
today. Are we really free when our economy is dominantly controlled
by an elite oligarchy, and there are huge social and income disparities
between a small favored economic and political elite and the rest of
the Filipino population? In fact, Rizal himself also forewarned about
this when he wrote in the El Filibusterismo, “Why independence if the
slaves today become the tyrants of tomorrow?"
Moreover, there are some flaws in our character that can get
into the way of attaining what Rizal envisioned about our
country. These include attitudes, like the lack of appreciation
of the significance of adhering to the rule of law and
upholding high standards of excellence. Advocating
mediocrity as signposted by puwede na and bahala na
attitudes, is very unbecoming of what Rizal visualized in his
essay.
The challenges posed by the essay to the present Filipino families, and
especially to the government, include instilling national discipline and
true love of country; exercising full control of our national sovereignty;
assisting citizens connect with their communities; employing available
communication means (the Internet and mobile technologies) to connect
groups, to inform and educate, to enable Filipinos to discover the
common ties we share; meeting challenges of founding a more peaceful
and stable social order; forming a common bond with our brothers and
sisters in marginalized communities; and developing innovations that
would improve dialogue and close gaps between our fellow citizens the
world outside; and preventing chaos and the spread oy malicious and
destructive propagandas.
Ultimately, Rizal's "The Philippines a Century Hence" legacy
is its timeless national message that establishing a fairer, better
society requires reminding the Filipino people that our hope for
survival relies on each of us taking responsibility.
Other Related Writings
In addition to Rizal's article, "The Philippines: A Century Thus,"
created a number of other outstanding works of literature that contributed to the
early Filipinos' sense of patriotism and helped spark the Philippine Revolution.
The two additional classic texts are briefly discussed below:
1. SOBRE LA INDOLENCIA DE LOS FILIPINOS (The Indolence of the
Filipinos)
2. LETTER TO THE YOUNG WOMEN OF MALOLOS
SOBRE LA INDOLENCIA DE LOS FILIPINOS (The
Indolence of the Filipinos)
A sociopolitical essay titled "The Indolence of the Filipino" was

published in La Solidaridad in Madrid in 1890. José Rizal wrote it in
reaction to the criticism of Indio or Malay laziness. He acknowledges
that there are lazy people in the Philippines, but there are other
possible explanations.
The essay was presented as a counter of the Spanish accusation that
Filipinos are naturally lethargic or lazy. According to some, The
Indolence of the Filipinos is an investigation into the reasons behind
the people's alleged lack of labor during the Spanish occupation.
LETTER TO THE
YOUNG WOMEN OF
MALOLOS
In his letter to the women of Malolos, Rizal put a strong
emphasis on reason and advocated for women's education in
order for them to become enlightened. Reason was necessary
for religion; without it, there could be only religiosity.
