Noli Me Tángere
Read Rizal’s Classic Novel
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Character portraits redrawn for accuracy to the novel, plus editorial corrections to the Tagalog text.
Noli Me Tángere is more than just a novel — it is a cornerstone of Filipino identity, patriotism, and history. This app was created to inspire Pinoy Pride by making one of our national hero’s greatest works more accessible to today’s generation.
With changes in the Philippine educational system, particularly under the K–12 curriculum, many students no longer experience the same in-depth study of Rizal’s masterpieces, Noli Me Tángere and El Filibusterismo, as previous generations did. As a result, younger Filipinos may miss the opportunity to fully appreciate the profound social, historical, and national significance of these literary works.
This app serves as a modern alternative and companion for students, educators, and lifelong learners who wish to explore and understand Rizal’s message of patriotism, social awareness, and love for country.
