It describes the economic crisis facing the Philippines and identifies the main causes of this "distress" according to Lopez Jaena. These included the ineptitude of the government, an education system that focused too heavily on religion instead of practical subjects, and lack of freedoms like freedom of the press and association.

    Primary Source
    The following text describes the Philippines under
    an economic crisis ; it also discusses what Lopez Jaena
    deemed as the cause of this “distress” suffered by the
    country.

    -Government
    -Education
    -Freedom
    Government
    - Ineptitude of the government
    - Governor – General
    - Incompetence of the majority of the
    government personnel
    - The continuous change of personnel in the
    government.
    - The fatal omission of natives from the
    government positions of high or average.
    Education
    - Normalous education given to the youth
    in schools.
    - In all public schools Spanish grammar
    is conspicuous by its absence,
    because certain people place obstacles
    to teaching the Indio Spanish, the elements
    of physics, chemistry, geography,
    and agriculture.
    - On the other hand, never absent are
    the rosary, trisagion, the thousand and
    one novenas of the saints, the Virgin and
    the martyrs with which the tender minds
    of the children are nourished and viciously.
    Freedom

    “ Freedom is the origin of all progress


    of a nation.”
    “The abolition of the existing differential duties,
    freedom of association, freedom of the press
    through which the Filipino may study or learn
    about the progress of all branches of industry,
    commerce and agriculture for their own benefit
    and for that of their country, as well as how to
    convert China and Japan into markets for our
    products through the negotiation of commercial
    treaties with them, are the supreme remedies to
    reactivate and restore to life the already
    comatose Philippine commerce.”
