    Curiously, Rizal’s particular use of this phrase as the title of his novel might give us a better understanding of its meaning. I remember as a child asking my father what “Noli me Tangere” meant. He had come home one day with a freshly printed hardbound edition of Charles Derbyshire’s translation titled “The social cancer.” Proudly, he presented it to me as if it was the most precious book in the world, enunciating every syllable in that enchanting phrase “Noli me Tangere.” He uttered it as if it was a magical incantation. “What language is that?” I asked him. “Latin for ‘touch me not’,” he replied. What’s that got to do with cancer, I pressed, pointing to the English title of the book. He answered: “The cancer of our society in Rizal’s time was already so advanced that no doctor would touch it anymore.”…

    According to the book that I have read, entitled "Katipunan: si Kuya Andres at Kuya Miong", Alvarez was the cousin of Gregoria de Jesus, wife of Bonifacio. He later became a general of the revolution. In the Katipunan, Aguinaldo, a deeply religious man, adopted the nom de guerre "Magdalo", after Mary Magdalene, the patroness of Kawit. Similarly, Aguinaldo's pseudonym in the Freemasonry was "Colon" after Christopher Columbus, who discovered America in 1492, (if I'm not mistaken).…
