TO MY FATHERLAND
Recorded in the history of human sufferings is a cancer so malignant, a character that the least touch irritates it and awakens in it the sharpest pains. Thus, how many times, when in the midst of modern civilizations I have wished to call thee before me, now to accompany me in memories, now to compare thee with other countries, hath thy dear image presented itself showing a social cancer like to that the other!
Desiring thy welfare, which is our own, and seeking the best treatment, I will do with thee what the ancients did with their sick, exposing on the steps of the temple so that everyone who came to invoke the Divinity might offer them a remedy.
And to this end, I will strive to reproduce thy condition faithfully, without discriminations; I will raise a part of the veil that covers evil, sacrificing to truth everything, even vanity itself, since, as thy son I am conscious that also suffer from thy defects and weaknesses.
Purpose of Rizal for writing Noli Me Tangere:
•To picture the past and the realities in the Philippines;
•To reply to insults heaped on the Filipinos and their country;
•To unmask the hypocrisy that have impoverished and brutalized the Filipino people;
•To stir the patriotism of the Filipino people.
