isang Heswita ngayon, at sa halip na isinulat ang Noli
Me Tangere, ay yaong kabaligtaran ang isinulat. Sa
harap ng mga kawalang – katarungan at kalupitan
noong ako’y bata pa, ang aking diwa ay nagising at
isunumpa sa sariling maipaghihiganti ko balang araw
ang maraming biktima, at dahil ito ang nasasa isip,
Nag-aral ako ng mabuti, at mababasa ito salahat ng
aking mga ginawa at isinulat. Balang araw, bibigyan
