    Rizal created a sequel to Noli Me Tangere titled El Filibusterismo to continue exposing the ills of Philippine society under Spanish colonial rule, including abuses by the Spanish and Catholic Church. The sequel featured a darker, more vengeful tone as the main character Ibarra transformed. Both novels aimed to enlighten Filipinos and inspire them to fight for independence, which is why the sequel was necessary to further disseminate Rizal's message during a time of oppression and corruption.

    2. Why do you think Rizal created a sequel to Noli Me Tangere?

    I think Rizal created a sequel to Noli Me Tangere to continue what he


    was being started and to continue the fire burning among Filipinos that they
    must be fully awakened about the happenings in the country. In order to
    brought the consciousness of the Filipino that he should not be a slave in his own
    country and should reclaim his birthright. The Philippines is supposed to be an
    independent country but it remains beholden to other countries for its people's
    livelihood.The Filipinos are caught in the never-ending tale of a people with a
    short memory who never learned from the past and are forever oppressed.
    Given this situation, Rizal would probably ask De Leon, Tolentino and
    Guerrero to join him in making another sequel to "Noli Me Tangere."As we all
    know that, in the El Filibusterismo,the message is clear regarding the present
    system of governing the Philippines through corrupt and self- seeking officials
    dominated by the friars and being submissive to their interests in one fashion
    or another that can only be lead to disaster for Spain.Rizal's "Noli me Tangere"
    and "El Filibusterismo" depicted the most important social ills that gripped
    Philippine society under Spanish colonial rule. These novels were scathing
    critiques of friar domination and corrupt governance.

    At the same time, Rizal showed in these works how some Filipinos were
    complicit in the colonial enterprise: from middle-class professionals who
    remained silent in the face of wrongdoings to ostensibly religious churchgoers
    who perpetuated repressive social structures.The "Noli" and "Fili" were not eye-
    openers in the sense that Filipinos during Rizal's time did not have to read about
    colonial abuses in a novel that was barely in circulation (colonial authorities
    banned the book, and only a small number were smuggled into the country)
    and written in a language that limited its accessibility to the educated elite —
    such abuses were everywhere.

    3. Is it really necessary for Rizal to create El Filibusterismo in order to send his


    message to the Filipinos during his time? Why or why not?

    For me, it is really necessary for Rizal to create El Filibusterismo in order to


    send his message to the Filipinos during his time in the sense that, El
    FIlibusterismo has a bigger impact during those times in the society ,for it serves
    as an inspiration to the Filipino people. It brings a profound effect in the
    Philippine society in terms of views about national identity, the catholic faith and
    its influence on Filipinos choice and the governments issues of corruption, abuse
    , distinction and on a larger scale the issues related to the effect of colonization,
    the effects on the people’s lives and the cause for independence. Indeed, the
    book awakened the Filipinos in the past and still awakening the Filipinos of today
    to fight for what we believe is right . We may not be the victor always in every
    battle but the most important is we continue to fight until our very last breath,
    just like Rizal. The intention was very clear

    Regarding the present system of governing the Philippines through corrupt and
    self- seeking officials dominated by the friars and being submissive to their
    interests in one fashion or another that can only be lead to disaster for Spain.
    Everyone agrees on the fact that El Filibusterismo is far more dark and
    brutal that Noli Me Tangere. With many events of murder, sexual abuse and
    suicide, El Filibusterismo is a massive turning point not only for the plot but also for
    the characters. Crisostomo Ibarra really did grow as a character in this book. He
    is obliviously not the idealistic and open man he was once before. He became
    vengeful, angry and in somewhat way, cunning and in my opinion, this
    transformation of his is very much human and real. In terms of moral lesson, El
    Filibusterismo is what I'd choose over Noli Me Tangere. El Filibusterismo showed us
    how anger and vengeance can take over a person's being.

    El FIlibusterismo also shares the theme that violence is not the answer with Noli
    Me Tangere.

    Indeed, as a Filipino, we should always be righteous and still choose


    what is right over what is wrong. As the saying goes, "Do not do unto others what
    you don't want others do unto you". We should be good so that people around
    will also do good to us.
