Noli Me Tangere Dr. Jose P. Rizal: Government and Its Officials

The document summarizes Jose Rizal's observations of different aspects of Philippine society as depicted in his novel Noli Me Tangere and compares them to present observations. It notes that in the past, corruption was rampant, honest officials were few, and the church and friars abused their powers; however, now corruption still exists but abuses have lessened as church and state are separate. Education was previously unequal but is now more equal with free tuition, and romantic relationships were traditionally more restricted but are now less so.
