The story in El Filibusterismo revolves around its main character, Simoun, who is an affluent jeweler. Simoun is actually Crisostomo Ibarra of the Noli, whom everyone thought had been killed by the Guardia Civil at Laguna de Bay. He had escaped, fled to Cuba, become wealthy, and made connections with influential Spanish officials. Upon his return to the Philippines after many years, he becomes very influential as the Governor General, who owes so much to him, consults him in making decisions. [Music] [Music] Spanish officials.

In reality, however, everything Simoun does is just part of his grand plan to take revenge against the Spanish officials and rescue Maria Clara from the convent. Planning to stage a revolution, he smuggles arms and looks for followers, mainly from the exploited and abused natives. So, dito palace apart nato, amero is. [Music] Was able to study in Manila. Simoun also makes an alliance with the revolutionary group of Kabesang Tales, a former Cabeza de Barangay who suffered maltreatment from the hands of the friars. Using his influence, Simoun encourages corruption, decadence, and more oppressive government policies so that the citizens may become more infuriated. However, one night, the planned revolt was not carried out because Simoun, upon hearing that Maria Clara died in the nunnery, decided not to give the signal for the outbreak of the uprising. Another plan was made some months later at the venue of the wedding reception of Juanito Pelaez and Paulita Gomez. Simoun planted many explosives enough to kill the invited guests, primarily the friars and government officials. According to the plot, the big explosion shall be started by the gift he would give to the newlyweds at the reception, a kerosene lamp with an explosive. When the lamp flickers and someone turns the wick, it will result into a big explosion that will become a signal to the revolutionary troops to simultaneously attack all the government buildings in Manila. So, my second plan, um, Simoun. [Music] Okay, so let's see what's going to happen next. And during the reception, Simoun gives his gift to the newlyweds before hurriedly leaving the venue. He leaves a piece of mysterious paper bearing the message, "You will die tonight," signed by one Crisostomo Ibarra. Meanwhile, Isagani, the rejected lover of Paulita, is standing outside the reception. His friend Basilio tells him to leave the place because the lamp will soon blow up. When Father Salvi identifies the handwriting in the note and confirms that it was indeed Ibarra's handwriting, the guests begin to panic. When the lamp flickers, Father Irene tries to turn the wick up, but Isagani, wanting to save Paulita's life, rushes into the house, grabs the lamp, and throws it into the river where it explodes. Okay, so nunaibignapala nissimon yung lampara dunsa. [Music] Simoun's revolutionary plot was discovered, and he's haunted by the Guardia Civil. He managed to escape but was seriously wounded. Carrying his jewelry chest, he finds shelter in the home of Padre Florentino. Learning of his presence in the house of the friars, the lieutenant of the Guardia Civil informs Padre Florentino that he will come in the evening to harass revolution. So, let's see. Simoun then takes poison that he would not be caught alive. As the poison's effect starts to take toll on his body, he confesses to Padre Florentino his true identity and his plan of revenge through bloody revolution. After the emotional and agonizing confession of the dying man, the priest absolves the dying man from his sins, saying, "God will forgive you, Señor Simoun. He knows that we are all valuable. He has seen that you have suffered. He has frustrated your plans one by one, first by the death of Maria Clara, then by a lack of preparation, then in some mysterious way. Let us bow to his will and render him thanks." The story ends with the priest throwing Simoun's treasures into the sea so that they would not be used by the greedy. The priest hopes that when the right time comes, they would be recovered and used only for the good. Ending. Okay, okay, so that ends the story of El Filibusterismo.
