Episode 21: El Filibusterismo, Part 2

After discussing some of the old and new characters of the El Fili, we now focus on the main plot of the novel (Simoun's revenge) and the other story arcs and subplots of the novel, such as the story of Kabesang Tales, his quest for justice, and how the system was so rotten he decided to seek justice through other means. The Fili is a more political novel, and the story itself stands as proof of this. Listen up to find out more.
