B. Analysis
Conscious of the significance of historical events in the life of the nation and the peoples,

Rizal felt that it was timely to remind Spain that the forces brought about the Spanish

revolution and French revolution could be disastrous for them in the Philippines.
It is an essay predicting the political destiny of the Philippines within a hundred years.

Rizal presented a clear idea of how our Motherland will end up centuries later proposing

that our country will end up in either of the three ways:

 That the Philippines will remain to be a colony of Spain but will be in good terms with

it’s captors.
 That the Philippines will try to cut the ties of our Motherland from it’s captors through

violent means
 And lastly that we will be colonized by another country.
He continued that if Spain would change their policies and helped build a civilization of

law, if the rights were respected, if other human rights were granted and if liberal policies

were carried out, the Filipinos would cooperate.
