The Philippines within a Century

• Rizal expressed his views on the Spanish colonization in this article

• Rizal predicted the tragic end of Spain's sovereignty in Asia with amazing accuracy

- Beginning - glorious past of the Filipino people - Middle - economic stagnation and happiness under the harsh Spanish Rule - Last - peered into the future and warned Spain of what would happen to her colonial empire in Asia if she would not adopt a more liberal enlightened policy towards the Philippines

Christmas in Paris

• They had Fried chicken, Rice, and Vegetables as their dinner

• It was Rizal's last christmas dinner in Paris

• Rizal went to London after New Year's, the purpose of his visit was unknown

• There were two theoretical reasons, one was to check up his annotated edition of Morga with the original copy in the British Museum, and the other one being to see Gertrude Beckett for the last time.
