INDOLENCE of the FILIPINOS



            Rizal and the most of us, Filipinos, admitted that we are indolent in many things.  Indolence of the Filipinos are not hereditary, it is caused by the troubles that the Spaniards gave to us. During the Spaniards colonization, Filipinos became indolent because of certain causes. One of this is the bad system in education and in religion. In school, they only taught on how to pray and they don’t taught subjects like agriculture and other courses that involve economic activities which is much more important to the Filipinos that time. As for the religion, the friars told the Filipinos that it is easier to enter to heaven if they remain poor and because of this, Filipinos didn’t work and remain poor because they believe in what the friars told them. We really can’t blame ourselves in becoming indolent after knowing this fact, because Filipinos are born industrious and hardworking. As Rizal stated in his poem, indolence has only two solutions, which is liberty and education.
