peaceful struggle must remain a dream, for Spain will never learn from her earlier colonies
in South America. But in the present circumstances we want no separation from Spain; all
we demand is more care, better instruction, better officials, one or two representatives
and more security for ourselves in our property. Spain can still win the Philippines from

INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES


At the end of this section, the students should be able to:
1. Compare and contrast the characters, plot, and theme of Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo,
2. Determine the importance of the youth in nation-building
3. Assess the significance of Rizal’s Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo in the 21st-century
Philippines.

DIAGNOSTIC:
• After Jose Rizal published Noli Me Tangere in 1887,he returned to the Philippines to see how it
was received by the public.
• As he expected, the possession and distribution of the novel were immediately banned and the
Spanish authorities ordered the burning of available copies.
• Ritalin countered strong opposition from the Catholic Church such that he was forced to leave the
country again for Europe.
• To counter Noli Me Tangere’s hopeful and romantic atmosphere. Rizal followed it up with El
Filibusterismo.
• Rizal started writing El Filibusterismo in 1888 and finished it in 1889.But just like the fate of Noli
Me Tangere, Rizal also had difficulties in the publication of El Filibusterismo due to the expensive
printing costs. Rizal had to move to Ghent to look for cheaper ways of printing the book but still
found it too costly.
• Fortunately, his friend Valentin Ventura offered him financial assistance which led to the novel’s
publication in September 1891.
• El Filibusterismo was much shorter withonly 39 chapters compared to Noli Me Tangere which has
64 chapters.
• Rizal gave Ventura the original manuscript of El Filibusterismo as a token of gratitude for his
contributions to the publication of the novel.
• Rizal used his first novel. Noli Me Tangere, to expose to the Filipinos the abusive ways of the
Spanish authorities and friars. Through the characters and plot of the novel, Rizal was able to bring
to light the corruption of the Spaniards.
• Through the different characters in the novel, Rizal provided insight regarding the condition of
Philippine society under the Spanish colonial rule
• It was also through the experience of these characters that Rizal was able to direct readers into
recognizing the ills that plagued the country.
• For instance, Elias, a character whose family suffered from abuses of the Spaniards and thus took
part in the revolutionary struggle, can be considered a representation of the revolutionary spirit
of the Filipinos.
