El Filibusterismo by: Jose Rizal. Chapter 25-32.

CHAPTER 25:Laughter and Tears. Makaraig the other students celebrate their loss at a pansiteria and put on an air offorced gaiety. They then dedicate the lumpia to Padre Irene, the crab omelette to the friars for the crabs that they are, and the stewed noodles to the disorganized government. Pecson then jestingly takes the aspect of an Augustinian preacher..

The students later notice they are being watched. They spot Padre Sibyla’s man leaving the pansiteria and entering Simoun’s carriage with an unknown man..

CHAPTER 26: Pasquinades. Basilio sets out early to inquire at the university about his license and to ask Makaraig for help with the costs, having spent most of his money in ransoming Juli. Along the way he learns from acquaintances that subversive posters had been found at the university gates and that the students’ union of which he is a member, is being blamed for it. He meets Sandoval who seems unable to hear his call, and then Tadeo, who, though ecstatic over the cancellation of classes, thinks every union member will be arrested. He also encounters Juanito Pelaez who denounces his involvement with the union..

At the university, he hears Isagani berating students for fleeing at the threat of imprisonment. Basilio turns away from him and proceeds to Makaraig’s house where he and Makaraig are both arrested..

CHAPTER 27: The Friar and the Filipino. Padre Fernandez hears Isagani’s impassioned speech to his fellow students and asks to speak with him. He asks Isagani what the students want of the friars. Isagani tells him to do their duty to improve the development of the youth, and not to stifle the pursuit of education..

Padre Fernandez deflects blame by reasoning that the friars are limited by the the government’s laws. He asks Isagani for a simpler request that the friars can grant, and Isagani asks that students be treated better, to which the priest responds that the students should change first. Isagani reminds him of what happens to students who stand up to their professors..

The priest commits to speaking with his brethren about Isagani’s thoughts. He envies the Jesuits who were responsible for Isagani’s early education. The Jesuits however, openly denounce Isagani..

Chapter 28: Tatakut. The incident about the subversive posters results in a great deal of unease among many people. Quiroga sets off to see Simoun about the rifles the jeweller had stored in his warehouse. Simoun, still refusing to see anyone, leaves a message for Quiroga to keep the rifles where they are..

In the afternoon, there is talk of the students having allied themselves with outlaws to take the city by surprise. Padre Irene tells Capitan Tiago that some have advised the Captain-General to implement a reign of terror. The more moderate suggest only a show of force. Capitan Tiago passes away of fright from the priest’s stories..

In other places, the prevailing feeling of anxiety leads to a number of unfortunate consequences, such as an officer mistaking the commotion at a baptism for a riot, and two individuals getting shot by mistake..

At the silversmith’s where Placido Penitente lodges, he and Simoun’s pyrotechnist join the smith workers just as they finish swapping theories about the posters. The pyrotechnist cautions everyone to prepare, as there may be a massacre in the evening..

Chapter 29: Exit Capitan Tiago. Padre Irene is the executor of Capitan Tiago’s last will and testament which divides most of his wealth among the nunnery of St. Clare, and various other religious entities and orders. He revokes Basilio’s legacy of twenty-five pesos, but Padre Irene declares he will pay this anyway out of his own pocket..

It is said Capitan Tiago appeared to the nuns, radiant and dressed in a frock coat. People believe he has been saved due to his numerous masses and pious legacies. His funeral rites are first class, filled with many prayers, rites, incense, holy water and tolling of the bells..

Chapter 30: Juli. News of Basilio’s arrest reaches San Diego and Juli is devastated, more so because people say the arrest was motivated by revenge against her and her father. Juli thinks Padre Camorra may be able to help free Basilio, but shrinks from approaching him when she remembers how the priest asked her for certain sacrifices in exchange for his having procured Juli’s grandfather’s freedom..

A traveler from Manila soon relates that all the prisoners have been released except for Basilio who has no influential protector. This finally convinces Juli to see Padre Camorra. On the same day she visits the priest, a girl is said to have thrown herself from a parish window and died. The following day, Tandang Selo, grieved and stricken, takes his hunting spear and leaves the village forever..

Chapter 31: The High Official. The girl’s death and even her identity are largely left unremarked by both the newspapers and the locals, even as Padre Camorra leaves town for another. Meanwhile, through the intervention of their relatives, the detained students are released, except for Basilio who is further accused of possessing prohibited books. The Captain-General keeps him detained to maintain the appearance of authority..

One high official advocates for Basilio, believing he is innocent, and argues with the Captain-General. The official tells the Captain-General to treat the Filipinos better to give them no cause to reproach Spain. The official ends up resigning shortly after the argument and heads back to Spain..

Chapter 32: Effect of the Pasquinades. As a result of the events involving the students, Pecson, Tadeo and Pelaez are suspended from their courses, and Makaraig leaves for Europe. Isagani passes only Padre Fernandez’s course but is suspended from the others. Only Sandoval is able to sway the examiners in his favor. Basilio remains in jail, where someone brings him the news of Juli’s passing..

Simoun recovers from his illness and is rumored to be leaving soon with the Captain-General at the end of his term. In the interval, he is purported to have become the business partner of Don Timoteo, Juanito’s father. Paulita ditches Isagani and decides to marry Juanito Pelaez. It is rumored that Simoun is responsible for arranging all the particulars of the couple’s celebratory party, where the Captain-General will be present as the couple’s wedding patron..
