The friars in the Philippines taught the Filipino people that it was easier for poor man to enter the heaven. Since the Filipino people believe the friars and most of them were religious people. Some of the Filipino people preferred not to work and remain remain poor poor so tha thatt the they y could easily go to heaven.

Since the Filipino Filipino believe that they they are inferior inferior they tend tend to copy the foreign culture and do everything everyt hing to imitate them. Because of this they are easily get discriminate discriminated d and because because of discrimination their motivation got low.

The Spanish leaders would let all the Filipino native do the difficult task and forced them in working labors with low return return income.. This problem leads to income procrastination of some Filipinos because they had felt that they were abuse and was taken for  granted.

For me I think it is only normal why the Filipino people that time were not motivated to work since they don’t have the knowledge of how to implement it just like agricultural works.

II.

For me If I was in that situation it is normal that we tend to save our lives first than to work. It’s also just normal that they had to abandon their works if their lives is at stake stake if they they choose choose to stay.

Well most of Filipinos do believe their superiors. They tend to believe in superstitious stuffs so that’s why they believed the friars about the easiest way to go to heaven is being poor.

Yes, I do believe that this is one of the key factors why the Filipino Filipino are Indolence. It’s because they are not proud of  being Filipino by that time and it had damaged their self-stem and feels unmotivated.

This is the most most of th the e ma main in factors why the Filipino are Indolence Indole nce its because because the Spanish Spanis h people treat them as laborers labore rs and they forced them to do some of the difficult tasks.  Also there is a high tax and low income at that time the Filipino natives felt that they were abused resulting to unmotivated works.

Key Queson: o Why did Rizal recommend the fostering of Naonal Consciousness as a remedy to the Filipinos’ Indolence? (66pts)

As a remedy to the Indolence of the Filipinos, Rizal proposes the promotion of National Consciousness to raise awareness not only to the Filipino people but also to the people in the neighboring countries that Filipino is not an unmotivated individual. It is such that there are some reasons why Filipinos lack the motivation to work, such as limited educational preparation, resulting in a lack of expertise in the performance of their jobs. Second, at the time of the Spanish colonization, the friars made the Filipino people believe that it was better for a poor man than a rich man to reach heaven. The Filipino citizens also lacked incentive to work because they thought that they were only taken for granted due to the enforcement of force labor law for Filipino natives with low return income but a high tax. The main reason is to raise awareness of these factors among Filipino individuals.
