The Writing of Noli
JOSE RIZAL preferred that the

His proposal was unanimously approved
by the Filipinos present at the party,
among whom were Pedro, Maximino and

Evaristo Aguirre, Eduardo de Lete, Julio
Llorente and Valentin Ventura.

The Spirit of the Noli
Introducing the spirit of the novel to his
friend Ferdinand Blumentritt, Rizal himself
wrote, “The Novel is the first impartial
and bold account of the life of the
Tagalogs. The Filipinos will find in it the
history of the last ten years.” The novel’s
characters represent the various kinds of
people inhabiting the country at the time

Filipinos who had a chance to
study abroad and dreamt of

fathering pf illegitimate
children by friars

Rizal’s ‘true love,’ Maria Clara’s character

opted to be allies (as in tuta) of
Spanish officials and friars just to
preserve their wealth and political
position

Reactions to Noli
During Rizal’s first homecoming in 1887,
Governor-General Emilio
Terrerosummoned him to the
Malacañang Palace. Terrero told Rizal
that Bernardino Nozaleda, the
Archbishop ofManila, petitioned to
ban the Noli.
Reactions to Noli
Meanwhile, an ad hoc committee of
the faculty of the University ofSanto
Tomas atthe request of Manila
Archbishop Pedro Payo found and
denounced Noli.
Reactions to Noli
The Permanent Commission
ofCensorship led by Tondo cura
Salvador Font similarly found the Noli
to contain subversive ideas against
the Catholic Church and Spain.
Reactions to Noli
·In Madrid, a newspaper article written
by a Vicente Barrantes resentfully
attacked the Noli. Similarly, some
members of the Spanish Cortes
belabored the novel through formal
speeches labeling it as “anti-Catholic,
Protestant, socialistic."
Reactions to Noli
Another attacker of Noli, Jose
Rodriguez, an Augustinian priest who
even took great pains to write eight
anti-Noli pamphlets.
Writing under the pen name: Justo
Desiderio Magalang, the priest
countered the claim that Noli’s author
was an “ignorant man"
Reactions to Noli
In a letter tohis friend Pastor Ullmer,
Rizal narrated, ".... enemies burned my
books, friends bought them for as much
as fifty pesos. Bookstores profited, but I
got nothing.”

The author once received a letter


dated February 15,1888, which was
comparable to death threat.
The furniture set of Dr. Karl Ullmer used by Rizal
during his stay in the pastor’s house in
Willhemsfeldin 1886 is now displayed in the
Peacock Garden-Resort in Baclayon, Bohol.
Ullmer’s family donated the furniture to Hans
Schoof—the German owner of the resort—for his
advocacy of propagating the ideals of the
Filipino hero.

Noli Artifacts
Conclusion
Noli Me Tangere is a powerful tool used by Dr.
Jose Rizal to create a sense of nationalism,
gratitude for society, and love for one's own
country. It serves as an eye-opener, a vehicle
for social consciousness, and a weapon in the
struggle for our own rights as citizens of the
nation.
