    Rizal began writing a sequel to El Filibusterismo titled Makamisa after he finished his second novel. He wrote the first chapter in Tagalog while in Hong Kong in 1882. The original manuscript was later found among Rizal's writings by historian Ambeth Ocampo in 1987. Ocampo reconstructed the unfinished draft, which introduces seven characters in the fictional town of Tulig, including the parish curate Padre Agaton. The novel ends abruptly in mid-sentence, leaving the plot unresolved. If Rizal had completed Makamisa, it may have been as influential as his other two novels in driving change in the Philippines, though its unfinished state means this cannot be known for certain.

    Makamisa: Rizals Third and Unfinished Novel

    We all know that Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo were Rizals novels
    that opened the eyes of many Filipinos over the rule of Spaniards. But did you know
    that he started a sequel to El Filibusterismo? It was Makamisa. He wrote it in 1982
    when he was in Hong Kong. The book is in Tagalog and gave the first chapter
    entitled Makamisa, which in English, After Mass.
    The original manuscript was found by historian Ambeth Ocampo in 1987
    while he was going through a 245-page stack of writings entitled Borrador del Noli
    Me Tangere.. This draft was written in pure, vernacular Lagunense Tagalog and has
    no written direct signature or date of inscription . Ocampo reconstructed this draft
    and translated it into a rich and full narrative, now known as the Makamisa.
    Why is it thought of as unfinished? Because it ends in a sentence that reads,
    Sapagkt nabalitang nasampl si Aleng Anday ay wala mandin silng,.
    Here are the seven characters that are mentioned in the unfinished novel:

    Wikipedia

    Padre Agaton- the parochial curate of the fictitious town of Tulig, described as
    a cheerful, approachable and powerful man who loves the town and is not
    known for his bad temper. In the story, he has a sudden, unexpected display
    of anger, the reason for which is yet to be revealed.

    Kapitn Lucas- the gobernadorcillo of Tulig and is in danger of losing his


    government position if he does not please Padre Agaton on the upcoming
    Easter fiesta.

    Aleng Anday- female friend of Padre Agaton and the only person whom the
    curate loves. She is an extremely disciplined woman whom everybody
    admires for her generosity

    Hanna Malonzo - Manila-raised daughter of Kapitn Lucas, who returned to


    Tulig for her aunt's funeral

    Tenyente Tato- lieutenant-general of the Guardia Civil.

    Riyadh Cacaos - the juez de paz or justice of the peace of Tulig.

    Kapitn Ian Callo - next-in-line to the gobernadorcillo office.

    So, what do you think about Makamisa? If this was finished by Rizal, will it be as
    successful as his two novels? Nobody knows. But we all know that, Rizal made a
    huge changes in the Philippines when he released his two great novels.
