Other than that, I really enjoyed the illustrations in this one. Portrayed as women who needed to be saved by a “prince charming”. Practically all main female characters in the comics, like Maria Clara (from the Noli), Sisa (from the Noli) and Juli (from the Fili), are portrayed as women prone to hysteria, which ultimately lead to them ending up in a convent or dying. Most of the male characters in this book, especially Ibarra/Simon, act impulsively and aggressively to achieve their means. Though this is still a powerful message today since the Philippines continues to suffer from widespread corruption, it’s hard to ignore the blatant machismo in both books. The two books aim to incite first, an awareness of the injustices happening and second, a revolution for Filipinas/os to reclaim the country. It describes a time when Spanish colonialism ruled the Philippines and its people. Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo are essential historical texts in the Philippines. After having read both comics, I probably should have read the originals first, but here we go anyway… This comic along with the Noli comics I previously reviewed are attempted summaries of the classic. I’ve tried many times over the years but have struggled finishing because of the archaic language.
