About this book

In the late 19th century, as the Philippines grappled with colonial rule, José Rizal's "The Philippines a Century Hence" emerged as a visionary political and social commentary. This compelling work explores the future of the archipelago, delving into themes of identity, governance, and the quest for autonomy. Rizal articulates the critical concept of national consciousness, urging Filipinos to envision their place in a rapidly changing world. With a focus on the potential for self-determination and the importance of civic engagement, this document serves as an essential read for students, civic activists, and historians alike. Engage with Rizal’s insights to understand the enduring struggle for freedom and the implications of colonial legacies in contemporary society.
