This is a counter reply to the article Verdades Viejas. It refers to the differences
of criteria between the two newspapers with respect to the actual governmental
reforms in the Philippines.

Filipino in all the acts of life from his birth to his death. It treats of the concepts
cherished by the Filipino on the Divinity, the Virgin and the Saints, the
immortality of the soul, the after life, virtue and sin, prayers, promises and
offerings, and pilgrimages, particularly that of Our Lady of Antipolo.

In this politico-social study, the author says that the advancement and moral
progress of the Philippines is inevitable and that Spain should effect such
reforms as a free press, representation in the Cortes, equitable administration of
justice, etc. because the Philippines then shall either remain under Spanish
domination but with more rights and privileges or shall declare itself independent
after shedding blood and causing bloodshed to the Mother Land.
