• Rizal, Concluded that Spain had no means to stop the progress of the Philippines. What the
colonist had to do was to change its colonial policies so that they would be suitable for the
needs of the Philippine society and to the increasing nationalism of its people.
RIZAL’S “PROPHECIES”
• Rizal expressed in tge essay his confident prediction that something would
awaken the hearts and open the minds of the Filipino people as regards their
plight
• He “prophesied” the Philippine people’s revolution against Spain, winning their
independence, but later the Americans would come as the new colonizer
• Some years after Rizal’s deathz, the Philippines attained its long-awaited
liberation and independence.
• Again, this appeared to be the fulfillment of what he had written in the essay:
“History does not record in its annals any lasting domination by one people
over another, of different races, of diverse usages and customs, of opposite
and divergent ideas. One of the two had to yield and succumb. “
