Today in Philippine History (Philatelic Edition):
SEPTEMBER 30, 1889
"Filipinas Dentro De Cien Años" (The Philippines a Century Hence), a famous essay written by Dr. Jose P. Rizal was published in “La Solidaridad”, the reformist propaganda newspaper of the Filipinos.
This four-part essay focused on the relationship between Spain and her colony, the Philippines. Rizal gave Spain two choices, reform or independence and warned that the people may seek civil liberties and a national identity that is different from Spain.
He also mentioned that Spain would be overthrown and replaced by another foreign power.
