Explanation:
DR. MAXIMO S. VIOLA THE MAN WHO FIRST READ THE NOLI ME TANGERE
By: Quennie Ann J. Palafox
They said friends are rare like a fountain of gold, subject to safekeeping because it is so precious that we would not want to lose them. A true friend is someone who will be there for you to lend a helping hand when you needed him most, trust you when everyone turn their backs on you, and love you for what you are and not what you have- these are the prime characteristics of a real friendship as friendship knows no border.
Once upon a time, a struggling patriotic man named Jose Rizal developed friendship with a kind doctor whose name was Maximo S. Viola who would later become the patron of Rizal’s first novel- the Noli Me Tangere. Dr. Viola was born on October 17, 1857 in Sta. Rita, San Miguel, Bulacan to parents Pedro Viola and Isabel Sison. Just like Rizal, he was an alumnus of the University of Santo Tomas where he finished pre-medical studies. He sailed to Spain, where he earned a degree in medicine at the University of Barcelona in 1882. He met Dr. Jose Rizal in Barcelona, who was likewise actively involved in the Propaganda Movement, and who would later become his friend. He accepted Rizal’s invitation to join him on a tour of Europe, particularly Germany, Austria, Hungary, and Switzerland, from May to June 1887. Rizal was at that time worried with his financial inability to publish the Noli Me Tangere and even considering aborting his plan of publishing the novel by destroying the manuscript. Noli Me Tangere is a vanguard of Filipino nationalism in the form of a novel which invokes equal rights for the Filipinos in order to get back their self-confidence. The novel brings to light the social woes in the country during Rizal’s time and come up with appropriate reform to various sectors of the society such as the education of the people, assimilation of Western culture, and appreciation of their native traditions. Convinced with the worth of the novel and its purpose, Viola funded the cost of the publication himself, an initial 2000 copies of the novel were printed in 1887. In deep gratitude, Rizal gave him the galley proofs and the first published copy.
