In “Through Education Our Motherland Receives Light,” education is portrayed as a torch
lighting the darkness or the morning sun casting out the shadows over a land. This is to
suggest that those who seek a well- rounded education, who seek the light of education, are
illuminated and empowered. In a time where many felt oppressed, Rizal offered that the
power or light of education is endless, that it cannot be taken away

SOBRE LA INDOLENCIA DE LOS FILIPINOS
The indolence of the Filipino people was the longest essay of Jose P. Rizal published in La
Solidaridad on July 15, 1890, to defend the Filipinos against the accusation of Mr. Sancianco
that the Filipinos are indolent. This is due to the observation of Sancianco to a Filipino farmer
who was having a siesta at nine o’clock in the morning because he was already done on his
work
1. Feeling of inferiority
The prevalence of a feeling of inferiority among the Filipinos paralyzed all tendencies
towards advancement and developed in them the idea of giving up without fighting or
exerting effort.
2. Placing hopes on miracles
Natured with the stories of anchorites who lead a contemplative and lazy life, the Filipinos
spent their giving money to the church in the hope of miracles and wonderful things.
3. Lack of spirit pursue lofty purposes
As their minds had been conditioned that they belong to and inferior race and that they should
not aspire to be greater than the curate, Filipinos sealed and shaped their actions to be in
conformity with the most pernicious routines not based on reasons but imposed and forced.
4. Lack of national sentiment
The lack of national sentiment breeds another evil, which is the scarcity of any opposition to
the measures that are prejudicial to the people and the absence of any initiative that will
rebound to their welfare
The Intimate Alliance Between Religion and Good Education
Dona Teodora was the first to recognize her son's poetical skill but, it was Father Francisco
de Paula Sanchez who gave Rizal the inspiration to advance his poetical art
He wrote this poem during the Summer of April 1876, before entering his fifth year in
Ateneo Municipal in June.
This poem reflects the very strong connection between Jesuit education and faith. It expresses
his belief in the importance of religion in the education of man.
