Excerpt from El Progreso de Filipinas: Estudios Económicos, Administrativos y Políticos
Queridos paisanos: Siento al dirigirme a vosotros el defecto que nos detiene en el cami no del progreso y de no poder corresponder al esfuerzo de los Gobiernos que procuran solo nuestro bien: es el desconocimiento del idioma en que os hablo; defecto que yo considero capi talisimo, en vuestras relaciones con el Gohier no, porque no hay nada más dificil, Si no impo sible, que regir y administrar pueblos que no se conocen, ni se entienden á sus habitantes, ni se les puede hacer'entender lo que de ellos se quie re; un mal para mi en este momento, porque necesito que me comprendais antes de juzgar mis pensamientos, si por indiscrecion,por ino cencia 6 mala fé, se os deslice una interpreta cion vaga y errónea de mis prºpósitos en esta obra.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the urgent need for reforms in the Philippines under Spanish rule circa 1880, proposing changes to taxation, governance, education, and infrastructure to uplift the living standards of the Filipino people. The author, a prominent figure in the Philippine movement for reform, provides a historical context for the economic and social challenges faced by the country, arguing that the existing system of colonial exploitation and inequality hindered progress. The book delves into the specific areas requiring attention, calling for a reduction of taxes on the general population, the abolishment of oppressive monopolies, and the creation of new revenue streams to fund essential services. It emphasizes the importance of education and infrastructure in empowering the Filipino people and stimulating economic growth, while also addressing the need for improved governance and representation to foster a sense of unity and national identity. The author's insights into the root causes of the Philippines' struggles resonate today, underscoring the enduring relevance of his ideas in the pursuit of social and economic justice.
