A more scathing portrayal was given by friar Gaspar de San Agustin in 1720. Indolence was also commented upon by the German scholar Feodor Jagor in the nineteenth century. Rizal’s work, “Sobre la Indolencia de los Filipinos”, was an attempt to rectify this view. The essay was serialized in six issues of La Solidaridad from July 15 to September 15, 1890. - It addressed the accusations made by foreign observers by establishing through careful argumentation that indolence was not an inherent trait but was an effect of other conditions imposed upon the Filipinos. Rizal’s reasoning echoes the ideas laid down earlier by Gregorio Sanciano’s El Progreso de las Filipinas in 1881. - Sancianco advocated for reforms in the government’s taxation system. - He also confronted the issue of the laziness of Filipinos.
