The Indolence of the Filipino

A sharp, historical essay dismantles the myth that a people’s ‘indolence’ is innate. Tracing precolonial industry to a society drained by forced labor, tribute, friar rule, war, disease, and a punishing climate, it argues that oppression breeds apathy. Education, civic rights, and economic reform, not insults, are the remedies—an urgent call to dignity and renewal.
