1. The table comparing the themes of Noli and Fili is as follows:

| Theme | Noli Me Tangere | El Filibusterismo |

| Corruption in the Church and State | Present | Present |
| Social Injustice | Present | Present |

| Filipinos' Struggle for Freedom from Spanish Colonialism | Present | Present |
| Education as a Key to Progress and Nationalism | Present | Present |

In summary, both Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo deal with the injustices and oppression experienced by Filipinos during the Spanish colonial period. They both showcase the corruption and hypocrisy in the Spanish colonial government and the Catholic Church. However, El Filibusterismo goes further by tackling the failure of the Propaganda Movement and the concept of revolution as a means to achieve national liberation.

3. The idea of Filipino laziness is a stereotype that has been perpetuated for centuries, and it cannot be attributed to a single cause. However, there are several factors that may contribute to this perception, such as the following:

  • Historical factors: The Philippines has a long history of colonization, which has led to the loss of cultural identity and the imposition of foreign values. This has resulted in a lack of pride in one's heritage and a feeling of inferiority, which may translate to a lack of motivation to work hard.
  • Economic factors: The Philippines is a developing country, and poverty is widespread. Many Filipinos are forced to work multiple jobs or long hours just to make ends meet, which may result in burnout and a lack of energy to pursue other activities.
  • Societal factors: In Filipino culture, there is a strong emphasis on family and community, which may lead to a lack of individual ambition. Additionally, the "bahala na" attitude, or the idea of leaving things to fate, may contribute to a lack of initiative and a tendency to procrastinate.

It is important to note that the concept of Filipino laziness is a harmful stereotype that should be challenged and dismantled.

4. Rizal's literary work in Dapitan is primarily his correspondence with various individuals, including family members, friends, and fellow revolutionaries. These letters showcase Rizal's thoughts on various issues, such as the need for education and national unity, as well as his opinions on the political situation in the Philippines. Rizal also continued to write poetry and essays during his exile in Dapitan, including "Mi Ultimo Adios," which is considered to be his farewell poem to his country. Additionally, Rizal engaged in various scientific and artistic pursuits during his time in Dapitan, such as designing and building water systems, creating sculptures, and studying botany and zoology.
