the indolence of the filipinos

DR. JOSE RIZAL

" EVERY CREATURE HAS ITS STIMULUS,ITS MAINSPRING:MAN'S IS HIS SELF-ESTEEM. TAKE IT AWAY FROM HIM AND HE IS A CORPSE, AND HE WHO SEEKS ACTIVITY IN A CORPSE WILL ENCOUNTER ONLY WORMS."

The idea of the "indolence of the filipinos" was put forward by Philippine national hero Dr. Jose Rizal in an essay he wrote in 1890. rizal's argument was the lack of progress and development in the philippines was due to the laziness,apathy,and lack of motivation of its people, especially the ruling class, who were content with a life of ease and luxury. according to Rizal, this attitude was reinforced by spains colonial regime, which dicouraged education and independent thought among filipinos and kept them oppressed and subservient.

INTRODUCTION:

rizal's essay generated heated debate and crticism in his time and continues to be a sourceof contrversy and disagreement among filipinos and scholars today. some view the idea of filipino indolence as a racist and unjustified stereotype, and argue that the real obstacle to progress were colonial policy, economic exploitation, cultural supression and discrimination against the native population.
