Writings of Dr. Jose Rizal are considered as a literary treasure. Most significantly his
books Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo are used as the basis on how to perceive the
scenario of the Filipinos during the Spanish Colonization. On the other hand, he had a
third novel but not published the “Makamisa”.
The Noli dealt with the country’s present, and the Fili pointed to its future. Noli Me
Tangere talks about the love of Crisostomo Ibarra to Maria Clara and its tragic events that
unfold on the political and religious flow of the plots that unfolded in every page of the
novel. El Filibustersmo tackled the revenge of Crisostomo (Simoun) who would wage war
against the Spaniards to get his dream revenge for all the hardships he encountered. And
lastly, the Makamisa, that dealt exclusively with the usages, virtues, and defects of the
Tagalogs.
