D. Teaching-Learning Sequence

The teacher will say the discussion for today is

about the novel of Miguel Syjuco title “Ilustrado”

Before we talk about Ilustrado, let us first have a

brief introduction about the great author of this great
Novel. Who is the author of “Ilustrado?” The author of the Novel “Ilustrado” is
Miguel Syjuco
Very Good! I have here a picture and some
interesting facts about Miguel Syjuco

Miguel Syjuco is a Filipino author, journalist, civil

society advocate, and professor at New York
University Abu Dhabi. His debut novel, Ilustrado,
was a New York Times Notable Book of the Year
and won both the Man Asian Literary Prize and the
Grand Prize at the Palanca Awards, his country’s
top literary honor. He has worked as a contributing
opinion writer for The International New York
Times, written for many of the world’s most
respected publications, and spoken on Philippine
politics and culture at the World Forum for
Democracy and the World Economic Forum. He
serves on the advisory council for the Resilience
Fund, a project by the Global Initiative Against
Transnational Organized Crime to empower
communities most threatened by criminality.

Let us now proceed to the novel entitled “Ilustrado”

by Miguel Syjuco
The Ilustrado is a 2008 experimental novel by
Filipino author Miguel Syjuco. He uses his name as
protagonist in the novel. Miguel Syjuco is
investigating the suspicious death of his mentor’s

3
name Crispin Salvador, whose final, unpublished
work was an exposé of rampant political corruption
in the Philippines. Syjuco’s debut novel, Ilustrado
was warmly received by critics and won the 2008
Man Asian Literary Prize.

Experimental in form, Ilustrado combines narration

withinside the voice of “Miguel” with sections
instructed through a third-person narrator who turns
about to be Salvador himself. Miguel’s narrative is
likewise punctuated through excerpts from
Salvador’s writing, Miguel’s tries to write a
biography of Salvador and newspaper articles.
Many of those texts cope with the query of political
writing, and of Filipino writing specifically, in the
voices of Miguel and Salvador: “Your real home
country can be that common ground your work
plows among you and your reader. Truly, who
desires to examine about the angst of a remote
tropical nation? Everyone’s was given enough in
their own, thanks very much. Angst isn't the human
condition, it’s the purgatory among what we have
and what we want and can’t get. Write what you
know exists beyond that limited obsession.”

The novel opens with a prologue, signed by

“Miguel,” summarizing the life of his mentor and
former professor Crispin Salvador, a famous
Filipino writer who fled the country in 1972. A
teacher at Columbia University, he was recently
found dead in New York City. While his death has
been ruled a suicide, Miguel remains convinced that
he was murdered. At the time of his death, Salvador
was close to finishing a new book, 20 years in the
making, entitled The Bridges Ablaze, in which he
described “the generations-long ties of the Filipino
elite to cronyism, illegal logging, gambling,
kidnapping, corruption, along with their related
component sins.” This manuscript was found to be
missing from Salvador’s possessions at the time of
his Miguel sets out to investigate his mentor’s death
and to produce an account of his life and work. His
first clue is a single page of Salvador’s manuscript,
mentioning several names, including notable figures
of the literati and political clans of the Philippines.
Someone named “Dulcinea” is also
mentioned.Miguel flies to Manila to interview these
people. On the plane, he overhears fellow
passengers talking about a migrant worker named
Wigberto Lakandula, whose girlfriend was
murdered by her employers. Lakandula has sworn

4
vengeance against the wealthy Changcos family and
become a popular hero. As he lands, Miguel
witnesses an explosion at a factory. He learns that
this factory was run by Phil First, a corporation that
bribes politicians to overlook its appalling safety
record. Death.
Miguel tried to summarizing the life of his mentor
and former professor and also a Filipino writer who
fled the country in 1972 named Crispin Salvador,
but he was recently found dead in New York. At the
time of his death Salvador was close to finishing a

Miguel looking for the sister of Salvador named

Lena, then she explains disliked their father's lack of
scruples. Means "You can't govern well if you have
scruples". After the days Miguel learns that dulcinea
is his mentor's illegimate daughter.

The next day at a book launch he meet a young

woman named Sadie Gonzales. Sadie said that her
family was a big fan of Salvador and might have
known some information.
Miss Florentina tells Miguel where to find Dulcinea.
Later, at the theatre, Miguel is due to meet Marcel
Avellaneda, a political journalist and an old friend
of Salvador’s, but Marcel doesn’t arrive. While
Miguel is out clubbing with Sadie, a typhoon hits
the city and the streets are flooded. Sadie and
Miguel are stranded. Miguel sees two children
floating down the road on an ice-cream truck, and
he climbs out of the car to rescue them. He falls into
an open manhole and dies.

5
 The remainder of the novel is narrated by Salvador.
In the first person, Salvador describes his feelings
about Miguel’s death. In the third person, Salvador
imagines that Miguel survived his fall and continued
his story. This third-person voice takes over and
describes Miguel flying to “Isla Dulcinea” to meet
Dulcinea.

Miguel arrives at the island. It is a paradisiac place,

and Dulcinea’s house is beautiful, isolated—and
empty. She is not there, and the manuscript boxes
where Miguel had hoped to find The Bridges
Ablaze are empty.
Salvador narrates the epilogue in the first person. He
recalls a morning in February, on which he learned
of Miguel’s death. Though the two men were not
especially close, Salvador found himself unable to
stop thinking about Miguel’s death—resulting in the
novel that we have just read.

history and politics, but it is also an exploration of
