By the by: these are only the keypoints of the chapters. Any small details were probably
neglected. If you wish to know these details, just read the goddamn book :))
Chapter 6: Basilio
− Basilio goes to mom's grave, and remember's his childhood
− served in Captain Tiago's home in exchange for tuition
− went to San Juan De Letran
− classmates disliked him
− won at cockfighting, bought shoes and hat
− fended against the attempted mockery of his teacher
− fought a saber-wielding maniac cadet with a cane, and won (norris in the
making)
− transferred to Ateneo for medicine
− originally, Tiago wanted law so he could get easy service, but he could also get
special poison for his cockfighters from the blood of diseased Chinese people.
Win-Win situation
− was able to treat people
− he treated a lepper, who gave him Maria Clara's locket (Maria Clara →
Lepper → Basilio → Juli)
Chapter 7: Simoun
− Enter Simoun (again....)
− he digs for the treasure buried 13 years ago
− Basilio recognizes him, and reveals himself
− Simoun = Crisostomo Ibarra (for those of you who slept during Filipino in both
3rd AND 2nd year)
− both have an argument regarding how handle the situation
− Simoun wants bloody revolution by nurturing the corrupt government
− Basilio just wants knowledge, which he claims should attain him justice
Chapter 9: Pilates
− there were 3 Pilates thought to have been connected with the events of Selo
− Alferes
− took away the guns, leaving Tales helpless
− said he was just following orders
− Hermana Penchange
− didn't help Juli pay for Tales's randsom
− blames this event on God (b*tch)
− Padre Clemente
− called for the gunban, leading to Tales's capture
− yet again, blames it on God
− Tales eventually goes home, realizing that his already-poor father is mute, his land's
been taken away, and his young, beautiful daughter Juli is now scrubbing the toilets of
an over-zealous nun.
Great.
