The story In El filibusterismo revolves around
its main character Simoun who is 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 escape, led to Cuba, become wealthy,
made connections with influential Spanish
official. Upon his return to the Philippines
after many years he becomes very influential
as the Governor General who owes so much
to him, consult him in making decision.
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.
One of his recruits is Basilio, the son of Sisa,
who with Capitan Tiago’s help 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.
During the reception, Simoun gives his gift to
the newly-weds. Before hurriedly leaving the
venue , he leaves a piece of my mysterious
paper bearing the message “ you will die
tonight” signed by Juan 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.
Another plan was made some months later. At
the venue of the wedding reception of Juanito
Palaez 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 gist 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.
When Father Salvi identifies the hand writing
in the note and confirms that it was indeed ‘s
Ibarra’s 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, grab the lamp and
throws it into the river where it explodes
Simoun’s revolutionary plot was
discovered and he’s hunted 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 priest,
the lieutenant of the Guardia Civil
informs Padre Florentino that he will
come in the evening to arrest Simoun,
Simoun then takes poison that he would not be
caught alive. As the poison’s effects start to
take toll on his body, he confess to 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 Senor Simoun. “
He knows that we are fallible. 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 pre[aration, them I
some mysterious way. Let us bow to His will
and render Him thanks.”
The story ends with the priest throwing
Simoun’s treasure into the sea so that they
would not used by the greedy. The priest
hopes that when the right comes, they would
be recovered and used only for the good.
