0:03 dr. Jose P Rizal was considered one of
0:05 the most influential thinkers of the
0:07 Philippine Revolution and it's not hard
0:10 to see why his writings as well as the
0:12 organization he founded were essential
0:14 to unite people apenas in the rising up
0:16 against the Spaniards even while after
0:18 his death this world-famous duology
0:21 nollie Matheny and L Philippe ustedes
0:22 pas have been passed down for
0:24 generations for young Filipinos to read
0:27 and study and for today but before
0:29 kissing on the latter of the two LCD
0:32 poster isn't just a quick background l
0:35 Philly was first published in 1891 and
0:37 centers on the Dolly's protagonist
0:39 Chrysostom arribada returning to the
0:41 Philippines thirteen years after his
0:44 death a completely changed person he had
0:46 abandoned all thought of idealism and
0:48 peaceful revolution and had become
0:50 convinced that sabotage and violence
0:52 with only ways to get to results the
0:55 drug teams in violent parts of Philly
0:57 are a sudden depart from the romantic
0:59 and hopeful heirs of its predecessor and
1:02 because of the books blatant exposure of
1:03 the abuses committed by the Spanish
1:05 government in the church the books were
1:07 outright banned in some areas of the
1:14 country talk about the chief so our
1:17 story begins on the steep boat double as
1:19 it makes its way up the Pasig River from
1:21 Manila on its way to Laguna divine the
1:24 boat is split into two decks the top
1:26 that has all the illustration rich
1:28 passengers and the bottom where
1:30 basically everyone
1:33 which by the way is fun contrasted jerk
1:35 symbolism represented the social
1:37 hierarchy back there on the top we had
1:39 the rich and I was banished that they're
1:41 confident and at the bottom are the
1:43 Indians or the natives and the poorer
1:46 Chinamen among our passengers on this
1:48 ship are Ibarra who is now known as
1:52 seamen the rich jeweler Vanya Victorina
1:54 the ridiculously Pro Spanish India woman
1:56 who is in search of her estranged
1:59 husband Aleta Gomez the pretty and rich
2:02 orphan isn't the Dona Benz I'm a
2:05 prolific Spanish journalist address
2:06 Siviglia Kimura
2:10 salvia Renan for Athena on crystal do
2:12 high up and well respected bro Spanish
2:15 Filipino is agony partner foreign
2:17 leaders nephew as well as the lover of
2:19 bonito and Basilio if you can remark in
2:22 the last book the Sun abscissa who is
2:23 now about the Graduate Medical School
2:27 takes his patron Capitan Tiago Simon as
2:30 mentioned before is now bitter and
2:33 cynical and only believes that violence
2:35 and sabotage is the only way to
2:37 overthrow the Spanish government and he
2:40 plants himself as an agitator and
2:42 saboteur violently siding with the
2:44 Spaniards and encouraging abuse against
2:46 the masses which would serve for
2:49 evolution basically making himself the
2:52 bad guy I find very admirable he lost
2:55 everything and returns willing to lose
2:57 everything a second time so the
3:00 revolution may push through howbeit his
3:03 methods are all that successful spoiler alert
3:04 alert
3:08 anyhoo Simon is able to smuggle firearms
3:11 into the country through Quiroga a rich
3:13 Chinese merchant that awesome on a great
3:14 deal of money
3:17 his first plot however is kind of
3:19 botched where the fact that he's told
3:22 that Maria Clara had died by Basilio not
3:31 absolute intellectual anyways back to
3:34 the story on Christmas Eve Basilio is
3:37 back in San Diego which is the town
3:39 where capital develops and is also the
3:41 place where the events of nollie big
3:44 plays and slips out into a forest
3:46 p'tee that was once owned by Ibarra to
3:48 visit the graves of his mother sisa and
3:51 the revolutionary elias so when he gets
3:55 there he finds that he isn't the first
3:56 to arrive there and surprise surprise
3:59 it's our old pal saman so stuff happens
4:01 lives are threatened revelations are
4:03 made and saman tries to get machinery to
4:05 join the revolution using what happened
4:07 to his mother and brother at the end of
4:09 the spaniards against him
4:12 Sileo is understandably shaken up by
4:14 this but does him on that he'll still
4:16 have to think about it see Maceo is in
4:18 love with this girl named Holly who is
4:20 the daughter of cabeza and Alice a man
4:23 what once been successful but had
4:24 everything stolen from him by the Friars
4:27 and will trying to guard with he had
4:29 left he was captured by bandits that
4:31 tell them at a very high ransom and to
4:32 pay that ransom
4:34 Huli had to offer herself as a servant
4:37 to her mana pension a pious Catholic
4:39 Basilio heard about all of this so with
4:41 his savings he freed Holly from her
4:43 obligations to her mana Ben Chang and
4:45 bought a small house that Holly and her
4:46 grandfather Tan Dung Zelo could live in
4:50 another thing about Mesilla is he's part
4:52 of a student group that is pushing to
4:53 have a school for the Spanish language
4:56 belt but I'm so far been heavily opposed
4:58 by the Dominicans for some reason the
5:00 students do end up having the plan for
5:02 the school approved but they don't get
5:04 to manage the teaching I guess that's
5:06 all we're celebrating because they go
5:09 over to a panted area to celebrate their
5:11 victory with dinner
5:14 everyone except Basilio who had to say
5:16 with Capitan Yaga because he was sick
5:19 while eating the students end up mocking
5:20 some of the priests and even
5:22 non-custodial but unlearned to them
5:45 the next day Mesilla wanders over to the
5:47 University to find that all classes had
5:49 been suspended because rebellious
5:51 posters and notes have been posted all
5:53 over the doors of the school and that
5:54 the students that had been at the
5:56 gathering the night before had been
5:59 arrested so Basilio in truth Shonen
6:02 anime protagonist fashion hurries over
6:04 to the house of the leader of the
6:06 student group and they are both
6:14 subsequently arrested so Basilio with
6:15 nobody to vouch for him
6:20 it has Capitan Thiago had what so
6:24 confident yoga's dead and Basilio sat in
6:27 prison and stayed there long after all
6:28 the students had been taken home by
6:31 their families when hooli hears of this
6:33 she tries her best to get support to
6:36 have Basilio released and this doesn't
6:39 work so with no one else to go to she
6:41 reluctantly heads over to the convent to
6:44 ask help from padre Kimura which
6:46 ultimately wasn't a good idea because
6:49 that meeting ends up with holy jumping
6:55 out of the convent with window to get
7:01 away from him mad so eventually it's
7:04 Simone who gets Basilio to prison using
7:08 his super cool connections but because
7:10 of his experiences in there as well as
7:13 the news of the death of belief Basilio
7:16 executes a flawless Avada 180 and joins
7:18 the band the rebels that Simone had
7:21 organized also while they were all in
7:24 prison Aleta decided to leave a sigani
7:26 for the other boy she had in her life
7:29 Juanita Palacios a Spanish mestizo
7:31 Simone was able to Hasson the
7:33 preparations for the wedding by offering
7:35 a loan to honey does father so that he
7:37 could buy the house of the now late
7:39 Capitan Thiago later
7:42 Simone reveals his big plan the Basilio
7:45 the wedding was going to be a very big
7:47 event so naturally a lot of very
7:49 important Spanish officials and people
7:51 would be there he would give the
7:53 newlyweds a beautiful looking lamp
7:55 just filled with a highly explosive
7:58 chemical nitroglycerin when the lab
8:00 began to dim someone would move over
8:02 there and relight it causing the
8:04 nitroglycerin to explode setting off the
8:06 gunpowder that laced the corners of the
8:08 house causing an even larger explosion
8:11 killing everyone inside the explosion
8:12 would act as a signal for the other
8:14 rebels to start the general rebellion in
8:17 Manila thus marking the start of the
8:19 Philippine revolution surprisingly
8:21 assuming is cooled with the entire plan
8:31 later her bacilli wanders near the
8:34 ill-fated wedding and runs into his
8:37 agony the crestfallen lover of Paulita
8:39 seeing as the house was rigged to explode
8:40 explode
8:42 Basilio the highly intellectual person
8:44 he is Nels is agony someone's entire plot
8:53 it's agony reacts about as well as you
8:55 think and rushes into the house as soon
8:58 as the lamp light began dying and tosses
9:00 it into the river diving in as well not
9:05 too far after this ruins the entire
9:07 scheme and Timon is exposed as a traitor
9:09 eventually ending up being chased by the
9:13 Guardia Civil with guns again when the
9:15 house fell to explode the rebels took
9:17 things into their own hands and attacked
9:19 all too early and were destroyed by the
9:22 Guardians bill so if you weren't keeping
9:24 count Simone is now on the run from an
9:27 angry government and an angry band of
9:29 rebels wounded in ruin
9:30 Simone makes his way to the home of
9:33 vodka Florentina who takes him in and
9:35 tries his best to heal him a couple of
9:36 days later
9:38 Audra Florentine receives a letter to
9:40 telling him to warn his Spanish guests
9:42 that the Guardian bill were coming in a
9:44 week's time to arrest him and that they
9:46 were armed with guns don't the Borgia
9:48 who had been there the entire length of
9:50 the book takes one look at the letter
9:55 and leaps off someone hears about the
9:57 letter and deciding that dying was
10:06 on his deathbed Simone tells Pedro Florentina
