The filibusterism; The Subversive or The Subversion, as in the Locsín glish translation, are also possible translations), also known by its alternative glish title The Reign of Greed,
Is the second novel writt by Philippine national hero José Rizal. It is the sequel to Noli Me Tángere and, like the first book, was writt in Spanish. It was first published in 1891 in Ght.

The novel cters on the Noli-El fili duology's main character Crisóstomo Ibarra, now returning for vgeance as Simoun. The novel's dark theme departs dramatically from the previous novel's hopeful and romantic atmosphere, signifying Ibarra's resort to solving his country's issues through violt means, after his previous attempt in reforming the country's system made no effect and seemed impossible with the corrupt attitude of the Spaniards toward the Filipinos.
The novel, along with its predecessor, was banned in some parts of the Philippines as a result of their portrayals of the Spanish governmt's abuses and corruption. These novels, along with Rizal's involvemt in organizations that aimed to address and reform the Spanish system and its issues, led to Rizal's exile to Dapitan and evtual execution. Both the novel and its predecessor, along with Rizal's last poem, are now considered Rizal's literary masterpieces.
Both of Rizal's novels had a profound effect on Philippine society in terms of views about national idtity, the Catholic faith and its influce on the Filipino's choice, and the governmt's issues in corruption, abuse of power, and discrimination, and on a larger scale, the issues related to the effect of colonization on people's lives and the cause for indepdce. These novels later on indirectly became the inspiration to start the Philippine Revolution.
Noli Me Tángere (novel)
Throughout the Philippines, the reading of both the novel and its predecessor is now mandatory for high school studts throughout the archipelago, although it is now read using glish, Filipino, and the Philippines' regional languages.
In the evts of the previous novel, Crisóstomo Ibarra, a reform-minded mestizo who tried to establish a modern school in his hometown of San Diego and marry his childhood sweetheart, was falsely accused of rebellion and presumed dead after a shootout following his escape from prison. Elías, his frid who was also a reformer, sacrificed his life to give Crisóstomo a chance to regain his treasure and flee the country, and hopefully continue their crusade for reforms from abroad. After a thirte-year absce from the country, a more revolutionary Crisóstomo has returned, having tak the idtity of Simoun, a mysterious wealthy jeweler whose objective is to drive the governmt to commit as much abuse as possible in order to drive people into revolution.
Simoun goes from town to town presumably to sell his jewels. Reaching San Diego, he detours to a forested land once owned by the Ibarras to retrieve more of his treasures buried in the mausoleum. There his true idtity as Crisóstomo Ibarra is discovered by a now-grown Basilio, who was also in the mausoleum visiting his mother's grave. In the years since the death of his mother, Basilio had be serving as Capitán Tiago's servant in exchange for being allowed to study, and is now an aspiring doctor on his last year at university as well as administrator and appart heir to Capitán Tiago's wealth. Simoun reveals his motives to Basilio and offers him a place in his plans. Too secure of his place in the world, Basilio declines.

At Barrio Sagpang in the town of Tiani, Simoun stays at the house of the village's cabeza de barangay, Tales. Having suffered misfortune after misfortune in rect years, Kabesang Tales is unable to resist the temptation to steal Simoun's revolver and join the bandits. In Los Baños, Simoun joins his frid, the Captain-Geral, who is th taking a break from a hunting excursion. In a fridly game of cards with him and his cronies, Simoun raises the stakes higher and higher and half-jokingly secures blank orders for deportation, imprisonmt, and summary execution from the Captain-Geral.
A wealthy Chinese businessman and aspiring consul-geral for the Chinese empire. Knowing Quiroga is heavily in his debt, Simoun offers him a steep discount if the former stores his massive arsal of rifles in Quiroga's warehouses, to be used presumably for extortion activities with Manila's elite. Despite his hatred of guns and weaponry, Quiroga reluctantly agrees to do the job and uses his bazaar as a front.

Attds one of the performances. The exhibit is set in Ptolemaic Egypt but features a tale that closely resembled that of Crisóstomo Ibarra and María Clara, and their fate under Salví.

Months pass and the night of Simoun's revolution comes. Simoun visits Basilio in Tiago's house and tries to convince him again to join his revolution. He reveals his plan for the attack: a cannon volley shall be fired, at which point Kabesang Tales, now a bandit idtifying himself as Matanglawin, and Simoun who managed to deceive and recruit a sizable rogue force among the governmt troops, will lead their forces into the city. The leaders of the Church, the University, scores of bureaucrats, the Captain-Geral himself, as well as the bulk of officers guarding them are all convitly located in one location, the theater where a controversial and much-hyped performance of Les cloches de Corneville
Is taking place. While Simoun and Matanglawin direct their forces, Basilio and several others are to raid the Convt of the Poor Clares and rescue María Clara.

However, Basilio reports to Simoun that María Clara died just that afternoon, after suffering the travails of monastic life under Salví, who always lusted after her. Simoun, driv by grief, aborts the attack and becomes crestfall throughout the night. It will be reported later on that he suffered an accidt that night, leaving him confined to his bed.
The following day, posters threating violce to the leaders of the university and the governmt are found at the university doors. A reform-orited studt group to which Basilio belonged is named the primary suspects; the members are arrested, including Basilio, despite his absce from the group's mock dinner the night before. They are evtually freed through the intercession of relatives, except for Basilio who is an orphan and has no means to pay for his freedom. During his imprisonmt, he learns that Capitán Tiago has died, leaving him with nothing; it is revealed that Tiago's will was actually forged by his spiritual advisor Padre Íre, who also supplies him with opium; his childhood sweetheart Juli has committed suicide to avoid getting raped by parish priest Camorra wh she tried asking for help on Basilio's behalf; and that he has missed his graduation and will be required to study for another year, but now with no funds to go by. Released through the intercession of Simoun, a darked, disillusioned Basilio joins Simoun's cause wholeheartedly.
Simoun, meanwhile, has be organizing a new revolution, and he reveals his plans to a now committed Basilio. The wedding of Juanito Peláez and Paulita Gómez will be used to coordinate the attack upon the city. As the Peláez and Gómez families are promint members of the Manila elite, leaders of the church and civil governmt are invited to the reception. The Captain-Geral, who declined to extd his ture despite Simoun's urging, is leaving in two days and is the guest of honor.

Simoun will personally deliver a pomegranate-shaped crystal lamp as a wedding gift. The lamp is to be placed on a plinth at the reception vue and will be bright ough to illuminate the tire hall, which was also walled with mirrors. After some time the light will flicker as if to go out. Wh someone attempts to raise the wick, a mechanism hidd within the lamp containing fulminated mercury will detonate, igniting the lamp which is actually filled with nitroglycerin, killing everyone in an ormous blast.
At the sound of the explosion, Simoun's mercaries will attack, reinforced by Matanglawin and his bandits who will descd upon the city from the surrounding hills. Simoun postulates that at the chaos, the masses, already worked to a panic by the governmt's heavy-handed response to the poster incidt, as well as rumors of German ships at the bay to ld their firepower to any uprising against the Spanish governmt, will step out in desperation to kill or be killed. Basilio and a few others are to put themselves at their head and lead them to Quiroga's warehouses, where Simoun's guns are still being kept. The plan thus finalized, Simoun gives Basilio a loaded revolver and sds him away to await further
