The Twin Books

El Filibusterismo and Noli Me Tangere were the famous books that carved the name of
Dr. Jose Rizal in our history. These books became his lifetime achievement and his
nonviolent revolution for the freedom of his beloved country. The country that he offered
his life for his belief that freedom will be achieved with the use of Pen, for the pen is
“mightier than a double edge sword.”
1.1 NOLI ME TANGERE

Noli Me Tangere was the first book of Dr. Jose Rizal that was published, as we had
discussed in our last module. Furthermore, the main character, Crisostomo Ibarra was
believed to be an alter-ego of Jose Rizal in view of its family background. Both of them
studied abroad and longs for the love of their life.
Plot
The novel revolved around the protagonist Crisostomo Ibarra. An Illustrados whose
bloodline was a mixture of Spanish, Mestizo, and Filipino that came from a wealthy
family in the Philippines in Calamba. He went to Europe to study. Upon returning home,
he dreamed of lifting the life of his brethren but confronted by the Spanish hierarchy
including the Spanish civil administration and the Ecclesiastical Hierarchy of his town.
The father of Crisostomo, Don Rafael, died prior to his homecoming. The events were
tragic when his father died and was refused to be buried in a Catholic Cemetery by the
parish priest Padre Damaso. Crisostomo was provoked in some time, He almost killed
the priest that caused his excommunication and the annulment of his weeding with
Maria Clara.
Maria Clara was the sweetheart of Crisostomo. She was known to be the daughter of
Kapitan Tiago, but in reality, she was the daughter of Padre Damaso. Kapitan Tiago
was the one who adopted her and kept the secret of Padre Damaso.
47
The marriage of Crisostomo and Maria Clara was cancelled due to Ibarra’s attack to the
priest, because of that, Maria Clara was bestowed to another man, but she insisted on
becoming a nun rather than marrying another man. With the help of Padre Damaso,
Maria Clara became a nun, but it just ruined her, for she became a carnal slave of
Padre Salve who sought sexual relations with her.
The philosopher in the story gives emphasis on the weary of the conquerors of the
enlightenment of the Filipinos. It would be the beginning of the nightmare of the
Spaniards and the rise of the Filipinos that is why Spaniards will really subjugate the
Filipinos at all costs.
As the story goes, Ibarra met Elias who is convincing him to revolt and fight against the
tyrants. Elias believed that the sufferings of the Filipinos were too much and that revolt
and violent was the only way for freedom. As the enemies of Ibarra planned to create a
fake insurrection blaming him; they were helped by Maria Clara as she was a trap on
protecting the secret of betraying Ibarra. Ibarra had no choice but to escape.
Helped by Elias, Ibarra escaped the Guardia Sibil, but they were chased going to the
lake. Elias needs to jump into the water, to pretend to be Ibarra and he was shot and at
the near shore died and buried by Basilio beside his mother and Ibarra escaped.
Attack and Defense
The banning of the books of Jose Rizal was the initial act of the Spanish Authorities with
the notion that it disgraced the Church and of Spain. Fr. Payo of UST examined the
book around August 18, 1887, and wrote a letter of recommendation to the Archbishop
of Manila to ban the book.
It was said the book was heretic, impious, abusive and, scandalous in its religious
aspects. The book is unpatriotic, subversive and, offensive to the government of Spain.
The book was attacked by many some were Senator Vida, Vincente Barrantes. But the
first attack was by an unknown friar who said that Jose Rizal was labeled as an
ungrateful man. For Fr. Rodriguez, it should not be read for it is blasphemous and
grossed errors… and for Fr. Font who issued official censorship to the book.
On the other hand, many have defended the novel life Fr. Francisco Sanchez. Another
is Fr. Vicente Garcia who said that “if it is a mortal sin to read the novel then some priest
has committed a mortal sin.” Also, Marcelo H. Del Pilar defended the novel by
answering the pamphlets of Fr. Rodriguez, telling that the novel is not being judged
properly.

roamed around the world and travels different parts of it and became a jeweler.
Returned to take revenge on all misfortunes he had encountered. He took advantage of
the corruption and abusive regime of the Spaniards in the Philippines to topple its
administrative and create havoc.
He wanted to rescue his beloved Maria Clara from the convent and avenged the death
of his father, but it was intervened by Basilio a medical student. In the forest of the
Christmas eve, Basilio recognized the true identity of Simoun when he searched for the
gems buried near the grave of her mother Sisa.
As the story progressed Simoun had the opportunity to implement his revenge by a
bomb planted in a lampshade. But it was prevented by throwing it outside the window
before it exploded. Afterward, a priest throwed all the jewelry of Simoun as a symbol of
eliminating greed, violence, and other evils that had been provoked.
Nationalist and Revolution

The 2nd novel of Rizal was different from the prequel for it gave emphasis on the
ideology and principles that a true Filipino should have. That is the fervent love for the
country. Nationalism might be easily be perceived as an act of loving one's country and
nationality, an act of loving your own country and of its principles.
49
Jose Rizal was betting his hope to the new generation. He referred the youth in his
poem A la Juventud Filipina as the hope of the nation. He set an example on how to
love one's country and principle as he fought for his country until his last breath.
Dr. Jose Rizal did perceived to revolt and fight for the country, but in a manner that was
different from the other common perception of revolution and that was an act of waging
war for freedom or an act that will result in death and bloody fights. But for Him a
peaceful revolution.

Jose Rizal’s Biography
To know more about a person is to ask his or her biographical background. Most of the
famous and influential persons in the world have an account of their life and it is
published. The reason behind this is to understand them better on why do they did
some acts that can only be answered if one knows the background of the person. Like
Dr. Jose Rizal, He was an influential person, yet why did he decide to use a pen rather
than influencing
others to follow him and revolt for our freedom, a rhetoric in his life
2.1 BIRTH TO EARLY CHILDHOOD

Born on Wednesday, June 19, 1861, between 11 and 12 mn at the lakeshore town in
Calamba, Laguna, his full name is Jose Protacio Rizal Mercado Alonso y Realonda. He
was the 7th child of Don Francisco Engracio Rizal Mercado Y Alejandra II and Dona
Teodora Morales Alonzo Realonda Y Quintos. He has a nickname of Pepe.
50
The Family of Rizal lived harmoniously as an illustrado where he was shown care, love,
and comfort together with his siblings. Their family was religious and capable of sending
them to college. Jose Rizal’s family was a mixture of different races. Jose Rizal’s
parents were of different ancestral origins all over the globe.
In his early childhood, Jose was first taught by her mother on how to read and pray of
which she warned Pepe through a story of the moth the danger of playing with fire. He
was also been attended by a yaya named Aya for sure he was sickly. He was used on
molding clays and played in his nipa together with his dog Usman. Furthermore, a sad
event had happened in his life when his sister Concha died.
At an early age, he experienced unprecedented experiences in life. Dona Teodora was

imprisoned. It began when she tried to help and persuaded his brother, Senor Jose
Alberto, to just forgive his wife who went along with another man and then after,
abandoning and leaving their children at home, to avoid scandal. However, the woman
connived with a Spanish authority and told that Dona Teodora and her husband tried to
poison her. Dona Teodora was arrested and forced to walk for about 50 km from
Calamba to Sta. Cruz. She was imprisoned for almost 2 years and a half. The incident
saddened the whole Mercado family, especially the 11-year-old Pepe. It became worse,
after hearing that his mother was treated unkindly, with no proper medication and
accommodation. The case reached the Manila Roya Audiencia where she was
acquitted.
Another was the death of the GOMBURZA. The revolt happened on the night of January
20, 1872. Filipino soldiers revolted in Cavite because they were not given proper
privileges and not being exempted from tribute and polo. But the mutiny was not
successful and was suppressed after 2 days.
After these events, He went to Manila to study, first at the Ateneo de Municipal taking
Philosophy and Letter and surveying as an additional course. After graduating he
continued his studies at the University of Sto. Tomas taking medicine and afterward
went to Europe to study Philosophy and Medicine at the Central University of Madrid.
2.2 LA LIGA FILIPINA (Unus Instar Omnium) – One Like All
In the residence of the Onjunco, Jose Rizal invited many to join his group namely the La
Liga Filipina. It was an organization that sought for reform that involved directly the
people. It was said the group was created with the objective of mutual aid and helping
each other in any means for the improvement of one another.
51
The constitution of the La Liga Filipina aimed was to unite the whole archipelago into
one compact and homogeneous body, Mutual protection for everyone and necessities,
scholarships, encouragement of education, agriculture and commerce, and lastly,
protection against all violence and injustice. All Filipinos were welcomed and invited to
join, with a membership fee of 2 pesos and a monthly due of 10 centavos.
Many historical figures in our country became a member of the movement. Andres
Bonifacio, who was an avid fan of Dr. Rizal was ones a member of the movement,
including Marcelo H. Del Pilar, Graciano Lopez Jaena, Apolinario Mabini, Ambrosio
Salvador, DoroteoOngjunco and many more. They believed and hoped for a gradual
reform without any violence and revolution.
2.3 THE KATIPUNAN

The Katipunan was founded by Andres Bonifacio. It was a revolting group that seeks
freedom of the nation through force. As we all know, Andres Bonifacio was an avid fan
of Dr. Jose Rizal, Hence, he is following the ideology of Dr. Rizal and used his ideology
and fame as one of the symbols of the revolution.
It was an organization that allegedly used the name of Dr. Jose Rizal’s name and
ideology to promote freedom. It was known to be a secret organization and its
members were subjected to secrecy. It was said that an emissary was sent to Dapitan
to talk to Dr. Jose Rizal on planning to rescue him and the revolutionary movement, but
he refused. In addition in his trial Jose Rizal wrote a manifesto denying his connections
with the Katipunan.
2.4 DAPITAN AND TRIAL

On July 6, 1892, Jose Rizal was arrested for allegedly carrying a pamphlet that entitled
Pobres Frailles that was known to be satiric. It was allegedly been found at the
pillowcase of Lucia, the sister of Rizal. He denied it but, it became the prime mover of
his new normal life until his execution.
Gobernador General Ramon Despujol ordered the arrest of Dr. Jose Rizal. Dr. Rizal
was escorted by the general’s nephew going to Fort Santiago. He was kept
incommunicado. After a day on July 7, 1892, there was an issuance of deportment. He
was deported to Dapitan with the rational of disloyalty to Spain in his writings, the
dedication to the GOMBURZA of the Noli Me Tangere and the possession of the Pobres
Frailes.
52
His life in Dapitan was an exile that began when he boarded the steamer CEBU bringing
a letter to stay at a Jesuit Parish to retract, change his conduct, and perform church
rites. But he did not agree with it. Consequently, Jose (Prisoner) lived at the house of
Ricardo Carcinero (his warden).
On September 21, 1892, Rizal and Carcinero won a lottery. The mailboat Butuan carries
their prize with the winning number of 9736 amounting to P 20,000.00. Rizal’s share
was 6,200. He gave 2000 to his father and the 200 to his friend in Hong Kong Basa.
His stay in Dapitan was pretty fruitful; He became a teacher to the young. Helped the
sick by making a clinic and developed some business like lumbers. He discovered new
species of animals in Dapitan that were named before him, the Draco Rizali (flying
dragon), Apolonia Rizali (small beetle), and Rhacophorus Rizali (rare frog).
Furthermore, He met Josephine Bracken his beloved “wife.” The stepfather of Josephine
was in need of medical attention that is why they went to Dapitan in search of Dr. Jose
Rizal, but Josephine fell in love with Jose. They had a child but died after its birth.
There was a suggestion for Jose to help in Cuba as a medical doctor representing Spain
to be pardoned and prove its loyalty to Spain. It was granted but he was returned in the
Philippines because of a revolutionary attacks, where his name was linked.
