The title of this novel “Noli Me Tangere” means in Filipino “Huwag Mo Akong Salingin”. Dr.

Jose Rizal
wrote this novel in the year 1884. Jose Rizal didn’t give up and continued to write this novel without the
help of his fellow Filipinos and he decided to write it by himself only.

The first chapter of this novel was entitled “Ang Paging”. In this chapter, the lifestyle of Don Santiago de
los Santos also known as Kapitan Tiago was stated. He was from Binondo and the step father of Maria
Clara according to this chapter. Also, the other characters were Padre Sibyla, Padre Damaso, and
Tenyente Guevarra. According to this chapter, Kapitan Tiago invited the said characters to go to his
house and have a simple gathering, but suddenly it came to a fight between Padre Damaso and
Tenyente Guevarra. Padre Sibyla stopped the rivalry between the two. The second chapter was entitled
“Ang binatang si Crisostomo”. And in this chapter, Kapitan Tiago presented Don Crisostomo Ibarra to the
priest, the son of his dead friend named Don Rafael Ibarra. The next chapters were also fantastic as the
struggle of the novel show. I was amazed by the way it has been written of every term and phrases of
the story that Rizal did. The overall impact of the story is all about the love, not only for romance, but
also for the love of country and family.

As a Filipino, I’ve learned about the love for the family and love for the country. Love, example for this is
the love of Crisostomo Ibarra to his Father. When he found out that the burial of his father was unjust.
Well, if I was in the side of Crisostomo, I will give the blessings of what my father deserved, a decent
burial for the last time. Another is the love of Sisa to his sons, Basilio and Crispin, until the last breath of
her life, she was still thinking to his sons. I realized that love for the family is really unconditional.
Additional issues on our political framework are as dingy as a man who never admitted in his life. I feel
sorry for our political pioneers that the reason that they are our pioneers is on the grounds that they are
for the general population, and trusted by the general population. In any case, sadly, when all is said in
done, our pioneers need to audit their Rizal Course there are wiped away by the enticement that cash is
the foundation of all underhanded.

These issues should be reacted as quickly as time permits in light of the fact that on the off chance that
it is not replied, we can’t offer a brilliant new morning to all future Filipinos and even to future
individuals. The issues of the past up to the present must arrive at an end.
