native population,but the conversation diverges as Sibilya asks Damaso about his
tenture in San Diego,In response,The Franciscan launches into seemingly inexplicable
tirade against the captain-general ,to which then elderly lieutenant takes offense.He
reveals that Damaso’s anger stems from his having been transferred by the Captain-
General to a new town as punishment for having had the corpse of a man falsely
accused of suicide dug up.

Juan Crisostomo Ibarra y Magsalin is introduced to the guests by Capitan Tiago as he

enters the sala. He explains that Crisostomo is the newly returned from his studies in
Europe and is the only son of the late Don Rafael Ibarra. When Padre Damaso, whom
Crisostomo mistakenly believed to be a close friend of his father, arrogantly denies ever
having known Don Rafael Ibarra, Crisostomo is startled.
Chapter 3 - Dinner

In this chapter, the two friars, at an instinct, headed both towards the seat at the head of
the table. They continuously praise with another in order to win the seat and eventually,
they offer the seat to the lieutenant which he declined. Eventually, Padre Sibyla gets the
chair. The dinner starts, Padre Damaso gets the unwanted parts of the chicken in which
he got mad off. Padre Damaso and Ibarra gets in a heated argument which ends in
Ibarra leaving.

Chapter 4: Heretic and

Filibuster

When Lieutenant Guevara approaches Crisostomo as he is making his way towards

Plaza Binondo, Chrisostomo Ibarra confesses to him that he also does not know how his
father passed away. Don Rafael Ibarra was jailed for the murder of a Spanish tax
collector, for refusing to make a confession, and for subscribing to the newspaper El
Correo Ultramar, according to the Lieutenant who is narrating the incident to the man.
Don Rafael was labeled as a heretic, a filibuster, and a subversive, he also says. He
passes away while imprisoned as a result of these accusations.

Chapter 5: A Star in a Dark Night

Ibarra goes to the Fonde de Lala hotel. He is troubled by the visions of his father being
unjustly imprisoned and dying without seeing him. He imagines the anguish and grief
suffered by his father while he is studying and traveling in Europe. In the house of
Capitan Tiago, meanwhile, Maria Clara arrives, and is admired by all guests, especially
Padre Damaso.

Chapter 6: His partnership with Doña Pia brought him a baby Maria Clara

This chapter is devoted to portraying Captain Tiago, a man of Filipino heritage who is
regarded as one of the region's wealthiest landowners. He is a powerful planter in San
Diego, a wealthy city where Tiago spends two months of the year. He is a devout
Christian in addition to being rich and well-liked in official circles. His wealth ensures
his godliness since he pays priests and poor people to pray for him. When Tiago is in a
bind and desperately wants something from the skies, he makes all kinds of pledges to
various saints. He even believes in polytheism and spreads his devotion among
numerous saints and celestial beings to ensure that his religious affinities pay off.
Regarding his strong ties to the government, Rizal notes that Tiago is "always ready to
obey the army's lower-ranking officers." Whenever he hears someone criticize Filipino
natives, he eagerly joins in, because he does not consider himself a "native." His wife
died during childbirth, leaving him to raise Mara Clara with the assistance of his cousin,
Aunt Isabel. To this day, everyone adores and admires Maria Clara, who is engaged to
Ibarra.

Chapter 7: Crisostomo Ibarra visits Maria Clara at Calle Anloague

The next morning, Aunt Isabel and Maria Clara go to church. When the ritual concludes,
Maria Clara runs away, ignoring her aunt's scolding for her disrespectful leave. The
family agrees at home that she would relocate to San Diego. At this juncture, Ibarra
comes, speaks with Captain Tiago about his engagement to Maria Clara, and then walks
onto the terrace to speak privately with the young woman herself. They chat about how
long they've been apart, and Maria Clara says that she's been in the convent since he
left. She gently questions him, trying to figure out if he's been faithful to her before
concluding that she's been the only lady on his mind for the previous seven years.
Ibarra begs Maria Clara to read a letter he sent her to further convince her of his loyalty.
The letter suddenly describes his last meeting with his father, in which he was punished
for refusing to go away to school. Ibarra told Don Rafael that he adored Mara Clara and
hence refused to travel to Europe. "The future opens its doors to you, but it closes them
to me." "Your love is being born, while mine is dying," his father said. "Yet you weep and
can't figure out how to give up today for a better tomorrow, for you and your country!""
Hearing Mara Clara recite these lines to him again, Ibarra becomes pale and tells her he
must leave because she has made him forget his responsibilities.

Chapter 8: Ibarra’s carriage passes through the busiest district of Manila, and
what he sees disturbs him.

He notices that the country's state has not changed since he left it seven years ago. He
finds that the government has made little progress or enacted any reforms. He notices
that the roads have not been paved and that the Puente de Barcas has been demolished
as a result of negligence. Seeing the Arroceros Cigar factory, the Botanical Garden, and
the Bagumbayan thereafter brings back good memories.
Chapter 9: This chapter features the three conversations between Padre Damaso
and Capitan Tiago, between Padre Sibyla and an unmanned priest, and between
the Governor-General and his men.

Angry at not being informed of the arranged marriage between Crisostomo and Maria
Clara, Padre Damaso now wants to stop the marriage planned for the lovers. Capitan
Tiago obeys the priest, and extinguishes the candles that were lit for Ibarra’s journey to
San Diego. Padre Sibyla and an unnamed priest discuss the dangerous implication to
the country of Crisostomo Ibarra’s foreign education. The Governor-General reveals to
his men that he is unhappy with the situation in the Philippines but that he is helpless in
changing the conditions of the country.

Chapter 10: San Diego, a town along the Laguna Lake, produces sugar, rice, coffee,
and fruit, which are sold to Chinese merchants.

Ibarra's family history is linked with the San Diego village. Legends abound about his
great-grandfather's final resting place, an elderly Spanish guy who came to San Diego
years ago, acquired the forest from those who deceitfully claimed ownership, fled into
the woods, and hung himself from a banana tree. Soon after, Ibarra's grandfather
appeared, raised a wall around the cemetery, married a woman from Manila, and gave
birth to Don Rafael. Don Rafael inherited his father's property and rapidly earned the
respect of his workers as San Diego expanded into what it is today.

Chapter 11: The Rulers

Two persons rule the town of San Diego which are Padre Bernardo Salvi and the Alferez
of the Guardia Civil. In contrast to Padre Damaso, Padre Salvi is portrayed as a thin,
sickly, and silent friar who is more likely to fine his subordinates. To undermine the
friar, Alfrez imposes a curfew that interferes with the citizens’ ability to attend church
services at the appropriate times. In retaliation, Salvi lets his goat run free on Alferez’s
property. Alferez frequently gets drunk and makes his soldiers conduct drills in the
scorching sun due to his unhappy marriage to the Doñ a Consolacion.

Chapter 12: All Saints

In the San Diego cemetery, two grave diggers are talking. One of them claims that a fat
clergyman gave him the order to remove a body from the cemetery and rebury it in the
Chinese cemetery. But since it was raining, the gravediggers just dumped the body into
the river. Tasio the sage arrives at the cemetery, unsuccessfully searching for the skull
of his dead wife.
Chapter 13: Signs of Storm

Arriving at the San Diego cemetery with a servant, Crisostomo Ibarra searches for his
father, Don Rafael Ibarra’s grave. His servant approaches the gravedigger for assistance
after failing to find the grave. The grave digger responds that, as told by Padre Damaso,
he had dug up the body of the Don Rafael and proceeded to bury it in the Chinese
cemetery. Yet he claims that because it was raining, he dropped the body into the river.
Hearing the story, Crisostomo becomes furious and walks away. He encounters Padre
Salvi at the cemetery gate and attacks the Curate because he believes him to be Father
Damaso.

across two boys, ages 10 and 7, he informs them that their mother has prepared a
supper for them to eat when they get home. Tasio accepts Don Filipo's invitation to visit
him at his home, where they talk about whether purgatory exists. As neither the bible
nor Jesus Christ make reference to purgatory, Tasio believes that it does not exist.

Chapter 15: The Sacristans

The San Diego church's sacristans are Crispin and Basilio. The two are concerned since
Crispin was ordered to stay in the church until the two gold pieces were returned after
being suspected of theft by the Curate and Sacristan Mayor. The regular beatings and

beats Crispin after ringing the church bells in an effort to force him to confess.

money from the "purgatory" since that "heaven is expensive" and the church will not

is married his husband with a gambling addiction that abuses her. On this particular
night Sisa prepared a feast for her children but unfortunately his husband appeared and
ate half of what Sisa prepared and telling his husband to spare some food for the
children. As the night goes deeply Sisa sobs and she prayed then moments after an

vision. "Mother, open up!" Basilio said while banging on the door.
