Ibarra meets with a young man by the lake where his father’s body was dumped. The other man explains that the elder Ibarra helped him in his work as a schoolmaster. Ibarra tells him that he’s realized that “the realization of my father’s ideas matters more than my crying over him, and more than my vengeance,” and says that he wants to help the schoolmaster. The schoolmaster explains that school has little practical purpose because of the lack of opportunities for students. Additionally, he is subject to the authority of the priest, whose parish house he teaches in, and is not respected by his students. Father Dámaso demands that he only teach in Tagalog, not Spanish, despite its prominence in the colonial Philippines, and orders him to beat the children, which makes them resent him.

Chapter 19: Problems of Teachers

1. They don’t have funds- The schools lack libraries, chairs, books, tables, and most importantly

teachers.2. Students have no motivation3. Parents give no support4. Their system/administration is wrong - They whip students if they make mistakes

Summarythe town officials meet in the town hall to discuss the fiesta celebration. The council approves

the proposal of Don Filipo, but the Gobernadorcillo tells them that the curate’s alternate proposal must be followed instead. Although the council objects to the Curate’s proposal, they are powerless

to stop implementation of the plan. Don Filipo and Tasio the sage go home dejected.

Chapter 20: Narration

Ibarra attends a meeting at the city hall, hoping to bring up the schoolmaster’s concerns. At the meeting, an upcoming festival is discussed. The liberals, represented by younger men such as the deputy mayor, Don Filipo, generally oppose such events, seeing them as wasteful expenses encouraged by the church, while the conservatives—the mayor and other older men—support them. Don Filipo says that Tasio told him to suggest spending a large amount of money on the festival because the conservatives will oppose anything he says, tricking them into advocating for his actual position.

Chapter 20: Narration

The plan works, but the mayor says the proposal won’t be put into effect because the priest (Padre damaso) opposes it in favor of a series of religious services and performances, which angers the crowd. “Is the priest paying for the festival or are we?” asks Tasio, but the mayor says the matter has already been settled, and the liberals’ contributions to the event have already been collected. Tasio and Don Filipo leave together unhappily, complaining that the mayor is a slave to the priest.

SummarySisa was taken and imprisoned by 2 guards because she couldn’t provide the money that “crispin

stole”. After being imprisoned for 2 hours the alperes let her go because he found the accusation of the priest insignificant. Later on, as Sisa tries to find her kids she starts talking to rocks and trees and has basically gone crazy after being imprisoned. (it is rumored that she was raped in

prison which is what triggered her to go crazy)

Chapter 21: NarrationSisa was rushing home to find her sons, but when she got home instead of seeing her 2 sons she was confronted by 2 civil guards. The guards wanted to know where the money that “Crispin stole” was kept but sisa kept pushing that her sons were innocent and stole nothing. The guards asked sisa to pay for the money stolen instead, but when sisa didn’t give them any money they decided to take sisa back as prisoner because they were unable to bring crispin or basilio or the money. Sisa was like super embarrassed so she cover her face with cloth, she was walking in between the 2 guards and unluckily it was after mass so many of sisa’s neighbors saw her but none of them defended her. Instead of helping sisa, her neighbors just stared, others gossiped in front of her, they didn’t care, nobody had any sympathy.

Chapter 21: NarrationSisa was locked up in a prison cell and she was in a crouched position, later on the alperes came and saw sisa, his first thought was how insignificant the accusations of the priest was. So he let sisa go and sisa went to her home, but since she’s clueless what’s going around her, like her only focus is finding her sons. She spends the rest of the day as well as the next day wandering aimlessly while looking for her children and talking to stuff like rocks or trees.

So here, we can see that she has already gone crazy, some scholars who studied noli me tangere say that inside the prison sisa was raped and that kinda triggered her to go crazy.

*Remember that Alperes and padre salvi are like enemies

When Crisostomo ibarra went to visit maria clara, he saw that padre salvi had also gone to visit maria clara. Ibarra had planned a picnic/outing with friends but maria clara had a special request to not invite padre salvi because she felt uncomfortable around him and felt a bit weirded/creeped out by him. However, Crisostomo ibarra didn’t agree to her request because to him it is like tradition or like to pay respect to invite Padre Salvi. He then invited Padre Salvi to which Padre salvi agreed to come.

Chapter 22: Narration

On Crisostomo Ibarra’s way home he was approached by a man who was seeking help because his children were missing and his wife was crazy. This person just so happened to be Pedro (sisa’s husband). The reason why he approached crisostomo ibarra instead of local authorities or friends is because he has bad reputation already and no one wanted to help him, in the previous chapters he was described as an neglectful father.

They were using a net to catch some fish but instead of catching a fish they ended up catching a crocodile. So when the people saw the crocodile, of course they were shocked, and they were more shocked when elias jumped into the water, crisostomo ibarra also jumped into the water with a knife and later on they can see that the crocodile was dead.

SummaryA backstory of Elias’ love life

“Elias and Salome” was originally the twenty-fifth chapter of the Noli. However, Rizal removed it during the actual printing of the book due to financial constraints. ... The reason Rizal deleted this chapter, according to

historians, is to save on the cost of printing,without disturbing the flow of events in the story.

> ELias left the place where he brought ibarra

> He went to the home of his beloved, salome

> Salome is a simple woman who doesn’t wear any jewelry except the black rosary on her neck.

> That afternoon, she was happy that elias arrived

> Even if they call each other “just friends”, deep inside they both know they’re both not “just friends”

> Elias noticed that salome was crying because she had to leave to go live with her relatives in mindoro

> so elias adviced salome to go to mindoro to find another person to be her husband

SummaryCrisostomo Ibarra went to Pilosopo tasio’s house to seek some advice on his plans to build a school, and as much as he doesn’t want to be a kissass he decides to suck up his pride and

follow tasio’s advice.

Chapter 25: Narration

When Ibarra got to Pilosopo Tasio’s house he saw that the sage was writing in hieroglyphs. He then asked why the man was writing in hieroglyphs and the reason was because tasio didn’t want anyone to understand his ideas. Ibarra wanted to build a school (his father also planned to do build a school) and went to tasio for some advice. Pilosopong tasio then gave him 2 important pieces of advice, the first one was to not go near crazy people because many people view tasio as a crazy person and if they were to find out that ibarra consulted tasio, then they would believe that ibarra is also crazy.

Chapter 25: Narration

The second one was to go near a priest and ask advice from them instead, he said that the citizens and priests need to know ibarra’s plan for the school so that things would go smoothly. He said that people would give ibarra bad advice but he had to pretend that he was going to consider them. He said that the people would give Ibarra plans scorn unless he got the approval of the church and government, all this is doing is to show that that Ibarra means no harm and has clean intentions. However Ibarra didn’t want to do as tasio said because he thought that he could succeed on his own, but tasio insisted that he had to “kiss the hand” in order to continue his plans to build a school for san diego.

Chapter 25: narration and terms

As much as Ibarra was disgusted by the fact that he had to do that because those same people who hold the power killed his father, in the end he decided to bear with it and do as tasio advised.

*Ibarra had multiple reasons why he wanted to build a school, Maria clara was on of them

In the procession you have to fall in line and there were guards who were keeping things in line, however ibarra noticed that even if everyone was in line following the order, the guards would still hit people (they basically abused their power as guards) and this bothered him a lot so he talked to the alkalde about it.

since donya consolacion used to be a labandera, she wasn't super pretty or anything so the alperes kept her in the house, and since she was bored she called a guard to bring sisa in and spoke to the guard in spanish and have him translate it into tagalog for sisa to understand.

Chapter 39: Narration

She had sis be her entertainer by singing and dancing. Sisa sang a song called "Kundiman ng Gabi" and after donya consolacion listened to it she was super touched and this action ended up revealing that she could actually speak and understand tagalog. Sisa stopped singing and the guard was shocked because they thought donya consolacion was a true spaniard. So donya consolacion was super embarrassed about this and sent the guard away, she then closed the doors and continued ordering sisa to do things in spanish.

Whenever sisa stopped singing or dancing, donya consolacion would get a whip and whipped sisa’s feet till they bleed.
