Simultaneously, all the government buildings in Manila will be blown by Simoun’s followers.Īs the wedding feast begins, the poet Isagani, who has been rejected by Paulita because of his liberal ideas, is standing outside the house, watching sorrowfully the merriment inside. Only he and his confidential associates, Basilio (Sisa’s son who joined his revolutionary cause), know that when the wick of his lamp burns lower the nitroglycerine, hidden in its secret compartment, will explode, destroying the house where the wedding feast is going to be held killing all the guests, including the governor-general, the friars, and the government officials.

His first attempt to begin the armed uprising did not materialize because at the last hour he hears the sad news that Maria Clara died in the nunnery. He smuggles arms into the country with the help of a rich Chinese merchant, Quiroga, who wants very much to be the Chinese consul of Manila. By using his wealth and political influence, he encourages corruption in the government, promotes the oppression of the masses, and hastens the moral degradation of the country so that the people may become desperate and fight. Because of his great influence in Malacañang, he was called the “Brown Cardinal” or the “Black Eminence”. Simoun, a man of wealth and mystery, is a very close friend and confidante of the Spanish governor-general. Among the passengers are Simoun, the rich jeweler Doña Victorina, the ridiculously pro-Spanish native woman who is going to Laguna in search of her henpecked husband, Tiburcio de Espadaña, who has deserted her Paulita Gomez, her beautiful niece Ben-Zayb (an anagram of Ibañez), a Spanish journalist who writes silly articles about the Filipinos Padre Sibyla, vice-rector of the University of Santo Tomas Padre Camorra, the parish priest of the town of Tiani Don Custodio, a pro-Spanish Filipino holding a position in the government Padre Salvi, a thin Franciscan friar and former cura of San Diego Padre Irene, a kind friar who was a friend of the Filipino students Padre Florentino, a retired scholarly and patriotic Filipino priest Isagani, a poet-nephew of Padre Florentino and a lover of Paulita and Basilio, son of Sisa and promising medical student, whose medical education is financed by his patron, Capitan Tiago. This steamer is sailing upstream of the Pasig from Manila to Laguna de Bay.
The story of El Filibusterismo begins on board the clumsy, roundish-shaped steamer Tabo, so appropriately named. His two obsessions are rescuing Maria Clara from the nunnery of Santa Clara and fomenting a revolution against their hated Spanish masters. However, deep in his heart, he is secretly planning terrible revenge against the Spanish authorities.
