Dr. Maximo Viola was an entrepreneur, writer, physician, revolutionary leader, political prisoner, and award-winning artisan. He completed his medical studies in Spain in the 1880s and was a dear friend and travel companion of National Hero Dr. Jose Rizal. Dr. Maximo Viola enabled the publishing of the national novel — Noli Me Tangere — which would in turn spark the Philippine Revolution.
Dr. Maximo Viola and Bienvenida Viola’s family descendants through the years continue the work and commitment to properties whether it’s a restaurant opening in Northeast US or a robot initiative for the world’s largest malls in Asia.
