About this listen

Set in the Philippines during its tumultuous period as a Spanish colony, Filibusterismo explores a society dominated by powerful Catholic friars and simmering unrest. Amidst this backdrop, a band of outlaws takes justice into their own hands, targeting the wealth of the affluent. In bustling Manila, students rally for the right to be educated in their native Tagalog rather than Spanish. Follow the journey of Basilio, a determined medical student, as he grapples with the challenges of life in the city, while his fiancée faces her own struggles back home. Overarching this tale is the enigmatic Simoun, a wealthy jeweler with a plan to wield his riches for a greater cause. As the sequel to Noli me Tangere, this gripping narrative is not just a story of rebellion but also a significant part of the legacy that led to the execution of its author, now celebrated as a national hero of the Philippines.
