  • Hey guys! I still can't believe I was able to find the Korean version of Noli.. Although the English version was way easier for me to read (Yes my Korean is not excellent though I'm Korean..) I enjoyed reading Noli written in Hangeul, although at first I was a bit confused since Chrisostomo Ibarra was written like 'keu-li-so-seu-to-mo-yi-ba-la'. Makes it much harder to read haha. Hope you guys enjoyed this video! 💖

      I felt the same way as her. I didn't want to read Noli as a student because I felt I was being forced to. But after I graduated college, that's when I felt the interest to read it in my own time. You really understand it more when you're older.

  • @wilagaton9627

    Noli is one of my favorite novels of all-time. Not only because I'm filipino, but its actually a really great read. When I first read it, it was for school, so it was more of a chore than anything. But when I read it to kill time, I ploughed right through it, and became one of my go-to stories.
    This is one of those stories you have to read if you want to write professionally. Rizal's style of writing is incredible. He makes analogies and make the reader contextualize it in their own experience. Its almost satire in its approach, but doesn't lose the gravity of any morbid situation. Its one reason I like Noli more than El Fili, because the 'comedy' of Noli is almost non-existent in El Fili.
    That is why I really do hope the translation you got has that satirical approach to it. A lot of translation of Noli loses its satire, and becomes darker (perhaps to be more in line with El Fili). I read primarily in english, so I have a lot of english translation of Noli, and I recommend the Penguin classic or the Leon Ma. Guerrero translations.
    Thank you for the video 😁

    I remembered that Noli is the most, if not, one of the Filipino novels that had been translated the most to different languages. Still, I never knew that it was also translated to Korean, which is awesome! That novel brings back so much memories. That was the first Filipino novel that I've read and studied (due to the high school curriculum), but had stuck with me.
    In college, a Rizal class about his life and works are also being taught, which got me a little more interested. Here a little trivia about Rizal and his novels for anyone who is interested :)
    While it is true that Rizal's novels (including the sequel "El Filibusterismo") influenced or inspired the revolutionaries at that time, Rizal was actually not in favour of the revolution and was not a part of the revolution. Instead, he was an advocate of reform and even criticized and opposed the revolution. In fact, Rizal even wanted equal opportunities for both Filipinos and Spaniards, education for the people and even for the Philippines to become a province of Spain, the mother colony of the Philippines at that time.
    However, what is fascinating is that despite not being an advocate of the revolution and wanted the Philippines to be a part of Spain, his works had inspired the Philippine revolution, which aimed for independence for the colonial rule.
    While his works may be a product of his own thoughts, I think it is also important to remember that the interpretation of the reader will always differ from the authors ideas and intentions, even in the slightest way. This may be why the word s Philippine revolution and independence may have been attached to Rizal because of how his works were interpreted, affected and influenced the way of thinking of the Filiinos at that time, although he was a reformist.
    That's it, have a nice day everyone! :)

    Just a short trivia, Jessica:
    Noli Me Tangere was derived from a line in the Bible…
    "Huwag mo Akong salingin, sapagkat hindi pa ako nakaaakyat sa Ama"
    or in English,
    "Touch Me not, for I am not yet ascended to My Father"

    So nice topic Jessica! I could still remember how we were required to read Noli and El Fili for almost 2 years in junior HS and end up just knowing the story, characters and many more.Then in college, we have Jose Rizal subject.
    Though these were mandated by law to study, some of educators failed to explain to us the essence and significance of these that led to patriotism.
    These books are something that we should be proud of as a Filipino, knowing that Rizal was a contributor in Asian literature.

    before the k-12 program (before they added the senior high school programs), when i was in high school we read Noli in 3rd yr(gr 9) and El fili in 4th yr(gr 10). maybe they changed the curriculum on k-12 program thats why you read Noli in gr 11. Also not a lot of Filipinos know that law you mentioned. I remember what my professor in Rizal asked us during our 1st day in class. "Why are you taking this subject?" thats how i learned about that law. also, if you are looking for book recommendations from filipino authors i recommend Bob Ong's books! from his 1st book to the latest, you will feel like you time travelled while reading haha

    Rizal was an eye doctor and he must have encountered a type of tumor of the eye lid that the patient should not scratch or otherwise it would get worst. Hence Noli Me Tangere or Touch me not. The reason it required a government decree to require Filipino students to read Rizal works was because there were some Catholic schools which refused to teach Rizal works because they felt it portrayed the Catholic church in a bad light.

    The Noli in native language is extremely hard to understand, it took my teachers a whole discussion on a chapter just to explain the context and subtext with it, personally it was hard for me since it was not my best language and thinking back making a movie about it made me realize how charas represent modern day filipinos and events that are portrayed in the noli as a means to unravel the true scenario of the Philippines.

    I remember reading Noli and El Fili when I was in Junior High as a fascinating, indulging and reflective pieces of literature. I initially thought I was going to hate them because of how long the novels are but my teacher Mrs. Patalinghug (I still remember her), taught my class the novels in a way that's interactive and we would not consider it as a forced reading activity. We would learn about the characters and associate them with individuals or current issues happening in our country on a daily basis.
    I may have first encountered them in school but it's also a very good book to read for leisure. So I recommend it to everyone who loves reading.

    Concerning the saying “pen is mightier than sword” though...
    I’m currently taking the college course that is mandated by the Rizal Law. The subject basically introduces students to the life and works of Rizal, specifically the context that compelled him to write the books, as well as the role of his writings in igniting the Filipino consciousness that our ancestors previously lacked. I also find it heartbreaking to learn about the hardships that he faced while he was still writing Noli in Europe, and all the more when it reached the colonizers (eventually led to his death).
    Concerning the saying “pen is mightier than sword” though. While I adhere to the importance of peaceful discussions and negotiations in this present age, we also need to understand the context that motivated Bonifacio and the rest of the Katipuneros to resort to violence. Filipinos were oppressed, and in an age wherein violence (through war and colonization) seemed to have been normalized, alongside the unbearable pain that they were experiencing, desperation (hence, fighting back even though it's hopeless) is understandable. In other words, for them, the revolution was the only way. This is why I personally believe that choosing between the two means (pen and sword) is unnecessary because for sure, they only wanted the same end, that is, freedom. Both Rizal and Bonifacio dedicated their lives to the cause of freeing the country. By saying that “pen is mightier than sword”, it’s like invalidating the desperation that the Katipuneros and the rest of the PH military felt, and dismissing their efforts, however futile they seemed to be for others.
    This is not a hate comment, by the way. I really love your videos. I just wanted to bring my thoughts about the matter out here. Since you love these kinds of topics, you might want to watch Heneral Luna and Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral on Netflix. My history teacher once recommended them to our class. I think you’ll really enjoy them 💛 All the best.

      I agree. It's not always about choosing between the options. It's about the context because all of them dedicated their lives for a cause that benefited every Filipinos at the end of the day. And to recognize that its not about thinking which was one was more important, that's where true understanding begins. I really look forward to seeing youtube contents focusing on Philippine history because sadly we only get to talk about these very important topics in school where most of the time, we don't get to delve in it kasi ending na ng school year. We really need programs to effectively educate the youth of how unique, interesting and hopeful our country's history is. ❤️

    I'd say that mostly, Filipinos, unfortunately and sadly, aren't really book readers/book lovers. I don't know about these love story pocket books though, I guess they are books too, and some do actually read them but generally Filipinos don't really read books and novels. "Pachinko" is a Japanese word right? Hopefully it's a start. Maybe for someone who's not really in to reading books but loves and likes anything Korean, Pachinko will be his first book and then after the last page maybe he'll start checking out other books as well.

    As someone raised in Manila but spoke only English, it was hard for me to re-integrate myself during high-school for this required reading. Being removed from the local scholastic system, going into America or K12 system, & then back. It began with IBON ADARNA & I felt so removed from really understanding it for what it was saying. I was just fortunate enough to know Ambeth Ocampo as a family friend and hear it as family stories and that perspective.
    Btw, my good friend is the same one mentioned in the opening of NOLI ME TANGERE as the 1 who helped finance RIZAL in publishing the book. JOSE PEDRO VIOLA; was the same name shared by my good friend. His ancestor.
    By the same token, hearing and listening to my grandparents and uncles of their family history and experiences during WW 2 is quite eye opening. Especially if you come from the line of Pio del Pilar & my great grandmother is Ramon Magsaysay's sister.

    I can relate with reading the whole book of Noli and then role playing it. 😆 actually during my time when there was no grade 11 and 12 yet, there are different kinds of books that we have to finish every year level. Grade 7 we read about Ibong Adarna, Grade 8 Florante at laura, Grade 9 Noli Me tangre and Grade 10 El fili Busterismo. Maybe, the reason why you read it when you were in grade 11 is because of the change in Curriculum but I’m not sure I was just sharing my opinion 😆 HAHAHA
    Anw, I love how you are so interested in our culture. The Filipino blood is running in you 😆

    So I was actually supposed to have a play on Noli just like you were. The work was split into three, and each section had a different part (the parts assigned to our section were chapters 24-40 + X). But then the pandemic happened and that whole thing got cancelled sadly.
    Except it started something. I was designated as the audio guy in the tech team, in charge of mixing and mastering the instrumentals and bgms for the play. It just started with arranging and cutting and pasting in Audacity, then a few years pass and suddenly I'm all involved in mixing and mastering songs in our own band.

    There is a Plant in the Philippines called touch me not. I don't know if this pertains or reasonates to the Filipinos on how Brutal was the Spanish and the Japanese Imperial Army towards the Filipinos. Anyways everytime you touch the plants, the leaves will close due to the sensitive nature of the Plant. That's how I learn about this plants while growing up in the Philippines. The History of the Philippines is so complicated because it went to many years of colonization and oppression, occupation by different countries it went to so many wars, and finally got its independence to the turn of centuries. Jose Rizal was a great hero who opposed against the Spanish by writing a book against the oppressors. Lapu-Lapu fought the Spanish and wage war against the oppressors and the conquerors. Lapu- Lapu should be the national hero, but it is debatable, and too much discrepancy.

  • @jasonmorahan7450
    @jasonmorahan7450 Před 2 lety +2

    Having a German family I always take pause in any book celebrated as a political bible for obvious reasons (Mein Kampf was a political bible), however it displays a self awareness with the quote, "...the slaves of today become the tyrants of tomorrow," which is definitely true and of extreme relevance in any ideological reference to a foreign occupation or political oppressor.
    Particularly today with a totalitarian and collectivist social movement veiled as progressive liberalism promoting identity rights (racial and lifestyle) against systemic oppression in western societies, which are indeed people calling themselves slaves (which they are not) in order to become tyrants (and are vey oppressive). So is easily incited with lies promoted by media (that any individual research or authoritive reference clearly reveals as lies, such as major court cases and social issues falsified by media companies to become sensational stories), they seem unaware they are often being manipulated by licensed media companies with agendas and serving left wing political Parties to win elections against their political rivals at the cost of street rioting and violence based upon complete lies.
    Whilst legitimate political protests about government policies and not sensational media stories, which aren't violent and do not involve rioting are the ones which are shut down by police as domestic terrorism and political extremists. In the US, UK, Canada, Australia and much of western Europe we are in fact in an age of governing tyranny with illegal laws being made every day, including laws against protesting them whilst rioting about fake media news stories is encouraged and people on social media have their accounts banned for speaking freely, especially if they are using qualified, objective and scientific references which challenge popular ideas about systemic oppression, fictional racism and bigotry or public safety imperatives claimed by left-wing ruling governments. We have governing authorities telling us what science says we must do and if you upload any actual scientific references which show this is false the major social media organisations immediately take it down and ban your account. Even if you upload clips where these authorities have directly contradicted themselves that will be taken down and your account banned. There are many examples of both instances, making it almost impossible for any political organisation to oppose any hollow claims by left-wing ruling Parties and governing authorities which don't actually stand up to any intelligent rigour, but are simply declared as absolute. It is like a test of whether populations can actually think for themselves or should be ruled like children by every government in the world and we're losing. In Australia we have lost so many incredibly important human rights over the past two years, lost all protection of law for those rights and it's terrifying what can happen without those protections.
    Throughout the western nations what we have are political extremists throughout most student bodies and governing institutions, claiming to be oppressed, trying to be tyrannical and accusing those they attack of racism, extremism and bigotry, using fake media stories for justification which are easily revealed as complete lies, and meanwhile nobody is doing anything about the ruling governments constantly making new laws that are taking away everybody's rights. Ruling governments are turning democracies into dictatorships whilst everybody is too busy arguing with each other about complete and total lies in a social points system of virtue signalling, false accusations and fictional claims of victimhood. It is exactly like the Germany my grandparents described of the 1930s and is such a lack of self awareness it can only be a recipe for disaster.
    Whilst I hope these books, which might be an ideological rallying point in PH and KR are indeed objective perspectives of history and ideas I am of course slightly apprehensive about any grass roots political organisation which seeks to rally around them, as the quote alludes, those calling themselves slaves do love to oppress others.

    You know more about Noli and El Fili than me. Being forced to read those books by a teacher who was not really invested in having us really learn about it made me forget the small stuff that I've read back then. TBH those two books should be really read by students, it's just that high schoolers have short attention span when it comes to those things. Sadt.
    Though, having Life and Works of Jose Rizal as a subject in college was an eye opener. I really enjoyed that class.
