 The Title
"The word filibustero is little known in the Philippines. The
masses do not know it yet. I heard it for the first time in 1872
when the tragic executions took place. I still remember the
panic that this word created. Our father forbade us to utter it, as
well as the words Cavite, Burgos, etc. The Manila newspapers
and the Spaniards apply this word to one whom they want to
make a revolutionary suspect. The Filipinos belonging to the
educated class fear the reach of the word. It does not have the
meaning of freebooters; it rather means a dangerous patriot
who will soon be hanged or well, a presumptuous man."
