("On the Indolence of the Filipinos" in Spanish) is a socio-political essay published in Madrid in 1890. It was written by José Rizal as a response to the accusation of Indio or Malay indolence. He admits the existence of indolence among the Filipinos, but it could be attributed to a number of reasons. He traces its causes to factors such as the climate and social disorders. He defends the Filipinos by saying that they are by nature not indolent, because in fact, even before the arrival of Spaniards, Filipinos have been engaged in economic activities such as agriculture and trade. Indolence therefore has more deeply rooted causes such as abuse and discrimination.

Answer:

Rizal and the other Filipino scholars focused on awakening the patriotic feelings into the Filipino culture by writing many poems and plays.

Explanation:

Jose Rizal was a Filipino scholar and nationalist during the Spanish-American war. His famous poem "A La Juventud Filipina" guided the youth to stand for their country and awakened the patriotism. The scholars during that time chose the power of their pen to fight for the country. They all helped the people to stay united in the time of need and guided them to the right path.
