    We’re on a mission to look for the places that were named after the characters of Rizal in his novels Noli Me tangere and El Filibusterismo. My groupmates and I arrived at PUP before 9am; we rode PNR to get to our starting point which is Laong Laan station. We are really excited for this fun-filled day. We are very happy when we saw the street named ‘Basilio’, we had different poses for the first set of pictures that we took there. Luckily we also found the next three streets, ‘Sisa, Ibarra and Crisostomo’ simultaneously. We took another set of pictures and then go to the next location which is ‘Tacio’, unfortunately we got lost and so we asked some bystanders there and we used the map we printed, then we were able to found ‘Tacio, Macaraig and Padre Florentino’. Then we walked again and asked for other streets and they suggested ‘Josefiina’ and so we also took pictures there. When we were about to get to our next station, we caught up with our other classmates, the BBS group and held a picture taking moment, then parted ways. It is hot already and ‘Maria Clara st. is far from our current location, so we decided to ride a tricycle. When we were able to found ‘Maria Clara st.’, we had our refreshments first and ate chips to satisfy our hunger. Then we walked again to our next destination which is ‘Simoun st.’ and walked again to ‘Elias st.’. Since SM San Lazaro is near, we decided to go there and have our lunch as well. We stayed there for awhile then agreed to go home. Even though it’s very hot, exhausting and tiring, we’re very happy because we enjoyed our last bonding before year 2012 ends and we consider it as one of our unforgettable memory. Mission Accomplished!…

    I was in third year high school when I first read the novel and saw the film version of thefamous Noli Me Tangere. I had encountered the characters, memorized the chapters andappreciated few of the episodes in the novel in some way. Since then, I haven’t paid muchattention to what this novel was truly about and how its film version affected my understandingof the original text. It was just yesterday when I had a second look at the film that made meconscious of some things I did not notice and value back then. This second chance allowed menot to simply see a novel become a film but to examine several angles such as itscinematography, characterization, how the film held the novel’s plot and the different things itimplies about Filipinos.In the most superficial way of seeing it, almost everyone noticed and complained aboutthe film’s poor cinematography. Besides it being in black-and-white, the poor sound quality anddim picture made it even more dull and unexciting. I was not able to understand several lineseither because the dialogue sounded rough or the captions were invisible. There were several poorly lit scenes that gave me a hard time to understand what was happening. However, Iunderstand that the film has existed for many years now. It is not surprising that a viewer fromthe present generation would find such film old, poorly made and even funny.Secondly, more than the audio-visual angle, the film also has issues on characterization.On one hand, I can say that the character of Crisostomo Ibarra was not well portrayed. The mainactor did not seem to fit the image of Ibarra which I believe is the reflection of Jose Rizalhimself. My expectation of his character (educated, principled and brave) based on the writtennovel was different from how I saw him in the film (weak, emotional and dependent). It almostappeared that…

    Noli Me Tángere (Touch me Not / Don 't touch me) is a novel written by José Rizal, the national hero of the Philippines, during the colonization of the country by Spain to expose the inequities of the Spanish Catholic priests and the ruling government. The title, in Latin meaning Touch me not, refers to John 20:17 in the Bible (King James Version) as Mary Magdalene tried to touch the newly risen Jesus, He said "Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father."[1] Early English translations of the novel used titles like An Eagle Flight (1900) and The Social Cancer (1912), disregarding the symbolism of the title, but the more recent translations were published using the original Latin title. It has also been noted by French writer D. Blumenstihl that “Noli me tangere” was a name used by ophthalmologists for cancer of the eyelids. That as an ophthalmologist himself Rizal was influenced by this fact is suggested in his dedication, “To My Country”.…

    Noli Me Tangere

    Curiously, Rizal’s particular use of this phrase as the title of his novel might give us a better understanding of its meaning. I remember as a child asking my father what “Noli me Tangere” meant. He had come home one day with a freshly printed hardbound edition of Charles Derbyshire’s translation titled “The social cancer.” Proudly, he presented it to me as if it was the most precious book in the world, enunciating every syllable in that enchanting phrase “Noli me Tangere.” He uttered it as if it was a magical incantation. “What language is that?” I asked him. “Latin for ‘touch me not’,” he replied. What’s that got to do with cancer, I pressed, pointing to the English title of the book. He answered: “The cancer of our society in Rizal’s time was already so advanced that no doctor would touch it anymore.”…
