A. The literary work (brief description of the content):

Noli Me Tángere is an 1887 novel by José Rizal during the colonization of the Philippines by
the Spanish Empire, to describe perceived inequities of the Spanish Catholic friars and the
ruling government.

B. Why do I Like it?

For Dr. José Rizal, the well-respected national hero of the Philippines, “the pen is
mightier than the sword.” Through his literary masterpieces, he voiced strong opposition
to the abuse of Spaniards and conveyed messages that he hoped would inspire his
fellow countrymen. We round up his best works and uncover the underlying meaning
behind them.
