In The Social Cancer, José Rizal masterfully exposes the corruption and social injustices of Spanish colonial rule in the Philippines. Originally titled Noli Me Tangere, Latin for ""Touch Me Not,"" it references a biblical passage where Jesus speaks to Saint Mary Magdalene after His Resurrection.
This powerful novel ignited a revolution and remains a poignant call for freedom and reform, serving as a cornerstone of Philippine literature and reflecting the enduring struggle for justice and national identity.
