"The Philippines a Century Hence" by José Rizal is a political and social commentary written in the late 19th century. This thought-provoking piece was originally published in a serial form in the Filipino fortnightly review "La Solidaridad" and subsequently compiled for readers in the early 20th century. The work discusses the potential future of the Philippines in relation to colonialism, governance, and national identity, positioned against the backdrop of Spanish rule and the growing influence of other powers, particularly the United States. In this book, Rizal explores various potential scenarios for the Philippines over the next century, contemplating whether it would remain a Spanish colony, achieve independence, or fall under the rule of other foreign powers. He critiques the status quo, arguing that the Filipino people must be educated and recognized as equal in order to navigate their destiny. The essay emphasizes the need for reform and the incorporation of Filipino representatives in governance, warning that continued oppression could lead to violent revolts. Ultimately, Rizal advocates for a more enlightened and liberal policy from Spain to foster goodwill, insisting that the future of the Philippines depends on the empowerment and self-determination of its people. Through rich historical analysis and forward-thinking insights, Rizal articulates a vision for national progress and unity, establishing himself as a herald of Filipino nationalism.
