The fact I narrate there are all true and have
“

happened I can prove them”

-said Rizal
The characters are: Ibarra, Maria Clara, Elias, Tasio, Capitan Tiago,
Padre Damasco, Padre Salve, etc… were drawn by Rizal from
person who actually existed during his time Maria Clara was
Leonor Rivera, although in real life she became unfaithful, unlike a
heroine of the novel and married an Englishman. Ibarra and Elias
represented Rizal himself, Tasio the sage was his elder brother
Paciano. Padre Salve was identified by rizalist has Padre Antonio
Piernaveja, the hated Augustinian Friar in Cabite who was killed by
our patriot during the revolution.
Capitan Tiago was Capitan Hilario Sunico san
Nicolas. Dona Victoria was Dona Augustina Medel.
The two brother Basilio and Crispin were the
Crisostomo brother of Hagunoy. Father Damasco
was typically of a domineering friar during the days
of Rizal, who was arrogant supercilious, and anti-
Pilipino.
Rizal’s Friends praise the Noli
The friends of Rizal healed the novel, praising it in a
glowing colors. As to be expected. Rizal enemies condemned it.
Rizal anticipated the vitriolic attracts of his enemies, who were
sore to be told the truth of their evil ways.

In Rizal own words:

“The government and the friars will probably attacks the
work, refuting my statement, but I trust in the God of Truth
and the person who have actually seen our sufferings”
 Copies of the Noli were sent by Rizal to
blumentritt, Regidor, Hidalgo Mariano Ponce,
Graciano Lopez Jeana, Aguirre and other friends.
More copies were created and sent to Barcelona,
Madrid, Hongkong to be smuggled into the
Philippines.
