*Party/club scene nag uusap si Ben Zayb, Simoun, Dona Victorina,Don Tiburcio, at dalawang
extra
Scene sa barko
Extra 1: I heard that there is a rumor spreading around that Crisostomo Ibarra survived the
shooting incident that happened 13 years ago.
xtra 2: Yeah, I heard that one too. They say that he's with someone during the chase and that
E
person is the one who dies from the shooting and Ibarra escapes.
xtra 2: And where is the corpse of the alleged Ibarra? There was no corpse found to justify that
E
it is Ibarra after the incident.
Victorina: Hmm, and where do you hear this nonsense rumor from?
xtra 1: We just heard it when we passed by a store in town. We don`t know where the humor
E
came from or when it started.
xtra 2: Because we have no intention or motives to spread humor that kind. We know that
E
creating humor like that will lead us to our death.
imoun: If we caught that both of you bastards are bluffing, do you have any idea what will
S
happen to you?
Extra 2: Spare us, mister. We`re telling the truth and if you don`t believe us, ask around in town.
Tiburcio: Calm down, Simoun. We need to get to the bottom of this before we make any moves.
Victorina to extras: Well, I guess you`re telling the truth after all.
Padre Salvi: How can you prove that your claims are true?
adre Salvi: Are you aware that if you are saying a false statement, you could be incarcerated
P
for the rest of your life?
en Zayb: As I said a while ago, this is a rumor for now but I am gathering information from my
B
sources to know the truth and this rumor does not start with me. I heard it a few days ago when
I came back to town.
Padre Camorra to other priests: We need to know the truth if his claims are true.
adre Salvi to guards: Find out the truth and don`t come back until you have something good to
P
tell us.
Extra Guard: Copy *command other guards to follow him and leave
Quiroga: But first, we need to know if the the humor is true that Ibarra is still alive.
uliana: I know you`re doing the right thing but I`m still worried about you and if the outcome will
J
do anything good to us, to both of you.
asilio: You don`t have to worry about Juli, we will be careful to our every move besides Ibarra
B
is worth saving for. He`s a good man, he`s a good friend to us.
uiroga: Ibarra did a lot of unimaginable things for this town, for the both of us and saving him
Q
will be the least that we can do.
uliana: If I can`t stop you from doing this, I wish you both good luck and I hope your plan
J
works.

Basilio: Thank you Pareng Simoun, but we don't drink alcohol (PAGTANGGI)
Simoun: Don't drink? Father Camorra said it was bad to only drink water (Sarcastic)
asilio: Also inform Padre Camorra, if he just drank water instead of what he knew, everything

abesang Tales: But I begged the beggars to avoid their confusion and now that I don't want to
K
pay, abay mapipilit ba nila ako?
Padre: It's different because it's your negligence. It just means you have no right to your land.
(Pagalit)
abesang Tales: It used to be a small amount, but now it's two hundred pesos?, Abay

napakalaki naman. The land is mine!!!

* Scene 6
Scene ni Simoun at Basilio na nalaman nyang si Simoun ay si Ibarra
Setting: Gitna ng Kagubatan
asilio: It's been a long time since I came here, but I still remember the events. Everything is still
B
in my mind,parang kailan lang. Ang sakit ang sinapit ko. (Nasa isip habang naglalakad)
asilio: If you can remember, thirteen years ago, it was here in this forest that we first met. And
B
if I'm not mistaken, you are the person who gave me sympathy.
asilio: A person who is thought to be great. Someone everyone knew except me, that you
B
were dead. That your death deeply grieved me.
Simoun: You have found out a big secret. A secret that can destroy you. Did you not think of
that? Saiyonnalaman, pwede kang masawi sa aking kamay. Indeed, I came here thirteen years
ago, the only friend who gave his life to fight for the Filipinos against the oppressed. And now,
I'm back to continue what I started. And I can't fully imagine that the poison left behind has
completely spread through society. And the youth did nothing but follow, enslaved and not
listened to.
asilio: You are wrong, Simoun. If the youth do not learn the Spanish language, the government
B
will not listen to us. This language will forever unite Filipinos.
imoun: A mistake, it will never be a national language. Let's take this language, this fake
S
language will only hide our humanity and our rights.
asilio: But what do you want me to do? I'm just a humble student. There is nothing in life, I
B
can't dig up my mother and make her suffer in court. And accuse someone who is Spanish.\
imoun: Now you know a secret that if revealed will cost me my life. Now my whole life is in
S
your hands, Basilio. We are the people who are thirsty for justice and help me overthrow the
government
asilo: Now you know a secret that if revealed will cost me my life. Now my whole life is in your
B
hands, Basilio. We are the people who thirst for reason and help me overthrow the government
I will think about it first, Pareng Simoun. (Sabay hawak sa braso ni simoun)
imoun: You die weak, the strong will remain. Just be patient. I am about to succeed. Just wait
S
a little longer!

*Hangang naglalakad si Simoun at nakasalubong ang tatlong bata na hindi siya pinansin sinabi
ata 1: I'm sorry Sir, are you the reason why our plan to establish a Spanish language academy
B
failed?.
imoun: Do you intend to increase the four languages in our country? Especially we will not
S
understand each other!.
ata 1: But Sir, the more the Spanish language spreads, the closer we will be to the government
B
and the better we will understand each other.
ata 3: And because of what you did, the development of the Philippines will be delayed by a
B
hundred years.
imoun: A big mistake. What are you planning to do? Kill your person? Leave your brain to what
S
to think? Especially if you are lame and dumb.
Bata 1: What do you mean?
imoun: Language is a reflection of the soul. When that is removed there is no justice. And the
S
country can die. If you think like that, you will be bound to the Spanish power without freedom
for life.
ata 2: That is your belief. But just by dying, you cannot stop us. We will raise our shovels. We
B
are on the side of the law, we are on the righteous side.

asambahay: His pulse is weak and he has no appetite. The poison is constantly spreading in
K
his body. What are you up to Mr. Simoun?
imoun: I came here for two things. Your death or your future? On the side of the oppressor or
S
the side of your people?
asambahay: On the side of the oppressor or the side of the oppressed? that's what I don't
K
know
imoun: Make up your mind, you have to decide. In just one hour the rebellion will begin.
S
Tomorrow, there will be no more universities, no more students and no more hardships.
asambahay: Hope lies in the wisdom. But wisdom is the only immortal thing. Faith in wisdom
K
and words of love for the people will have meaning.
imoun: Alright!, For the sake of Elias' memory. Lead the army. Invade Santa Clara and take the
S
one person you only know besides Kapitan Tyago, and Maria Clara.
asambahay: (Sinasabi hang paupo) You are too late, Senyor Simoun, because Maria Clara is
K
dead.
Simon: (Sinasabi hang paupo) Dead! How did that happen? no,
asambahay: He died at six in the afternoon. I went to the convent to find out what everyone
K
told me. When I came back, there was a letter. Letter from Pabre Salve. It was immediately sent
to Captain Tyago and this is also the reason why the Captain was absent.
Simon: No! Maria Clara is not dead yet. I'll save her. I will save him now!.
Kasambahay: Mr. Simoun, calm down, there is nothing we can do if we accept the truth.
imoun:(Naiiyak) He died not knowing that I had returned. He died without knowing that I was
S
alive.

*Flashback galing sa Noli kung bakit maghihinganti si Crisostomo ay namatay ang pamilya at
kaibigan nya
Setting: Party
Padre Damaso: Why would I expect a bastard like you in this kind of festive?
Ibarra: I just want to create good memories in my return, father, I don`t want to cause any
trouble and want to make this party as memorable as it could possibly be.
adre Damaso: Well, I guess your father`s decision is a big mistake. You became an imbecile
P
while studying abroad.
Ibarra: I guess I am supposed to leave you now and enjoy the rest of the evening.
eniente Guevarra: What a surprise to see you here. I would like to express my deepest
T
condolences for the unfortunate event that happened to your family.
eniente Guevarra: I`m not fond that I am the one who will relay to you the bad news. Your
T
father died in incarceration after accidentally killing the Spanish tax collector and was branded
as filibuster.
eniente Guevarra: Based on your reaction, I guess you have no idea at all. Apologies for the
T
unfortunate news and I should leave you here. I do not intend to cause any trouble.
Ibarra: I have had better thoughts, and I believe that making my father's wishes come true is
worth more than weeping for him, and much more than avenging him.

*Flashback ni Ibarra at Maria Clara
Setting: Sa Park
Ibarra: Mahal, ang tagal na namasyal ano? Ang sarap gawin ulit na makasama ka sa simpleng
parke. Nakakamiss yung ganitong sitwasyon na tumingin sa mga pamilyang naglalaro at
makinig sa mga huni ng ibon.
aria Clara: Tama ka, mahal. Minsan naiisip ko yung araw ang bubuo ng sarili nating pamilya at
M
tayo naman ang manonood sa ating mga supling na magtatakbuhan sa parke at maglaro.
Ibarra: Matagal pa bago mangyari yun dahil sa mga kaguluhan dito sa bayan natin pero
sinisigurado ko sayo na mangyayari iyon.
aria Clara: Kelan kaya matatapos ang kaguluhan sa bayan na ito? Hindi ba napapagod ang
M
gobyerno at simbahan na magsimula ng kaguluhan?
Ibarra: Ayan ang tanong na hindi ko kayang sagutin ngunit natitiyak kong madaming Pilipino na
nais lumaya sa kalupitan ng mga dayuhan.
aria Clara: Sana malapit na ang araw na makakalaya tayo sa kalupitan ng dayuhan sa sarili
M
nating bayan.

attention, to help me find the truth and if there is really a traitor.

Quiroga: A lot of things did not go according to plan, what is your plan about that?
Simoun: Whatever happens, just follow and execute everything according to plan.
imoun: Yes, this is our only time to make a move. If we miss this, we might never have a
S
chance to avenge our countrymen who died at the hands of this cruel administration. I am
certain that one of your family or friends died because of them. Don`t you want to avenge their
unjust death?

P
about some important matters.
adre Sybila: So, what is the important matter we need to settle that we have to take a break
P
from the enjoyable party?
obernador General: First and foremost, we heard that the humors are true that Crisostomo
G
Ibarra is still breathing. Second, to confirm this humor, we received a message from him stating
that he is really here and will attend this party.
adre Damaso: How could I not be? I saw all his exchanged letters with Maria Clara and this is
P
his handwriting.
Gobernador General: What should we do, father? What are you thinking?
adre Damaso: The humor states that he is hiding among us and getting as much loyalty as he
P
can to create alliances. It might be humor but it will not spread into the town if there is no basis
for the claim
adre Damaso: I am always adamant about the identity of Simoun. He just got here but he
P
established himself quite well his reputation and created a relationship with a lot of people within
a short period of his stay here in our town
Padre Camarro: I agree that it is suspicious but how could you prove your idea?

P
perfect time to use it.
Isagani: Don`t.
Padre Damaso: And why would you prevent the owner of the house from using their own lamp?
Padre Damaso: Answer me or I will let the guard put you behind the cell.
