Conclusion
Both novels, the Noli me Tangere ( touch me
not) and the El Filibusterismo (the Filibuster)
inspired by the patriotic ideals of our national
hero,Dr. Jose Rizal, depict the abuses suffered by
the native indios at the hands of spanish tyrants.
The Noli paints us an ugly,yet clear picture of the
so-called "Social Cancer" that deteriorates the
society. the first of those two masterfully-crafted
works which is the noli, lays the most liberal,
realistic and fearless view of the country's well-
being during the 300-year spanish regime.
