REFLECTION

The title of this novel “Noli Me Tangere” means in Filipino “Huwag Mo Akong Salingin”. Jose Rizal, our
national hero wrote this novel in the year 1884; he was in Madrid taking up medicine when he wrote this
novel. When he finished his course (Medicine), he went to Paris and continued writing this novel. In
Berlin, Jose Rizal finished the last part of the Noli. This novel was written to remind us the bad things
that Jose Rizal experienced during his time with the Spanish. From the very start of this novel, the first
plan of our national hero was to write this novel with the help of his countrymen who were suffering
from the hands of the Spanish, but suddenly he failed to do it with the help of his countrymen, because
his countrymen lose their hope in fulfilling their dreams to have freedom in the hands of the Spanish
colonizers. 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 deceased friend named Don Rafael Ibarra. The next chapters were also fantastic as
it antagonize the essence of the novel. I was amazed by the poeticism 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. Paternal 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.
As an understudy, I immovably trust that “Enormous things come in little bundles.” If just that each
understudy that take-up Rizal course won’t overlook every one of the lessons learned, I clearly guarantee
the Philippines will soon open that entryway, the shut entryway in a path to a whole new nation, the
Philippines.
