Topic 1: The impact of Noli and Fili


A. Balba

The Life and Works of Jose Rizal (LifeRiz)


Introduction
In this topic we are going to
analyze the impact brought by the
two novels of Jose Rizal, the Noli
me Tangere and El Filibusterismo.
It takes courage to write novels
that will enlighten the people and
will lit the fire for change. It is but
right for us to look for the its impact
and thereby learn from Rizal’s
heroism.
From Mabini

The preface of the "Noli me Tangere" states the purpose of its author,
which was no other than to expose the sufferings of the Filipino people to
the public gaze, as the ancients did with their sick so that the merciful and
generous might suggest and apply a suitable care.

Rhod Nuncio, Philippine Studies Professor

This is the richness of literary creations because there is an interface and


exchange of ideas, learnings, values and creativity. Historical novels are
among the best way in this context. When it speak of nationalism or
patriotism, the intellectual readers react and reflect. Furthermore,
comprehending historical facts about the revolution, say, the 1896 uprising
could be experienced as long as the reader or the individual intermingled
with character, time, events and setting imaginatively. Noli me Tangere and
El Filibusterismo require such.

Peter Jaynul V. Uckung, writer

When Rizal wrote the Noli me Tangere and El Filibusterismo, he dramatized as no


one before had done, the bitterness and alienation of the people. His reformatory
approach to social change was to exercise influence within established institutions
rather than fighting institutions from the outside. It did not work out. During the
American regime, people shifted in strategy, perhaps remembering the futility of the
propaganda movement, and used legislation and court litigation to secure
constitutional rights. Later on, there were direct action techniques, utilizing the
potential power of the masses along political and economic lines. Example of this
was mass civil disobedience, which will create the kind of social dislocation that
would bring attention and remedial actions from the government.

“While serving on the staff of the first U.S. Commission to the Philippine
Islands, my attention was called to the life and writings of Dr. José Rizal. I
found in his novel, “Noli Me Tangere,” the best picture of the life of the
people of those islands under Spanish rule, and the clearest exposition of
the governmental problems which Spain failed to solve, and with which our
own people must deal. It occurred to me that an English translation of
Rizal’s work would be of great value at the present time. My first intention
was to reproduce the entire novel as it was written, but, after careful
consideration
