Conceptual literature
According to Alip (1961), Rizal has always been known as a well-traveled man. He went to
foreign lands to study, work, and learn about the different cultures the world has to offer. In his
extensive travels, he picked up a few things from the people and the values that he immersed
himself in. He went around instilling in himself the principles of a true renaissance man. He
educated himself on a wide variety of topics, spanning from the arts, medicine, and even military

Laubach (1936), Uncle Tom’s Cabin was probably the most prominent book that Rizal
has read which eventually inspired him to write his greatest work, Noli Me Tangere. The author,
Harriet Beecher Stowe, mostly focused on the slavery problem in the south during the mid to late
19th century. It is a book on anti-slavery and focuses on the life of titular character Uncle Tom as
he tries to survive life as a slave during the pre-civil war era. The whole of the story opened
Rizal’s eyes to the horrors and evils of slavery and oppression. He even approached his fellow
intelligentsia about writing a book that could possibly affect the Philippines just as Uncle Tom’s

Thus began his quest, together with other reformists, for reforms, specifically, equal
rights, assimilation, and representation in the Spanish government. The efforts of the
propagandists were not totally wasted, according to Romero, Santos, and Sta. Romana (2003).

Crisostomo (1999), was in Noli Me Tangere. This novel exposed the oppression and
abuses experienced by the Filipinos from the Spanish administration including the friars and the
civil guards.

In the end, Rizal leaves it to the reader to decide which course of action is best, although
he does not allow that accepting the status is a viable option— Filipinos should either work to
reform the system through peaceful means or take back their country by force (Hau, 2000).

Upon seeing such inequity, school leaders should engage it and seek to identify possible
causes and alternate courses of action, for themselves and others. Remember that Rizal did not
offer a single solution but explored alternatives once he saw that there was a problem (Scheurich

According to Tejano (2011), this certain event caused a number of questions to arise about Rizal
not letting the two revolutions happen. If the style Rizal used in creating both revolutions was further
examined, it can be found that Simoun used the different classes in the society to cause a huge chaos
that would wreck the social system of colonialism from the inside.
