Filipino Awakening Through Noli

Rizal wrote Noli Me Tangere to awaken nationalist feelings in his countrymen and expose the injustices of Spanish rule in the Philippines. The novel depicts typical scenes of Philippine life and attacks the corruption of Spanish Dominican and Franciscan priests. While Rizal initially planned to co-write the novel with others, he ultimately wrote it alone because his companions spent more time gambling and socializing than contributing to the work. Noli Me Tangere was an influential work that gave insights into Philippine society under colonial rule and opened Filipinos' eyes to the realities of their situation.
