The story of El Filibusterismo begins on board the clumsy, roundish-shaped steamer Tabo, so appropriately named. This steamer is sailing upstream of the Pasig from Manila to Laguna de Bay. Among the passengers are Simoun, the rich jeweler; Doรฑa Victorina, the ridiculously pro-Spanish native woman who is going to Laguna in search of her henpecked husband, Tiburcio de Espadaรฑa, who has deserted her; Paulita Gomez, her beautiful niece; Ben-Zayb (an anagram of Ibaรฑez), a Spanish journalist who writes silly articles about the Filipinos; Padre Sibyla, vice-rector of the University of Santo Tomas; Padre Camorra, the parish priest of the town of Tiani; Don Custodio, a pro-Spanish Filipino holding a position in the government; Padre Salvi, a thin Franciscan friar and former cura of San Diego; Padre Irene, a kind friar who was a friend of the Filipino students; Padre Florentino, a retired scholarly and patriotic Filipino priest; Isagani, a poet-nephew of Padre Florentino and a lover of Paulita; and Basilio, son of Sisa and promising medical student, whose medical education is financed by his patron, Capitan Tiago.
After a long time of illness brought about by the bitter loss of Maria Clara, Simoun perfects his plan to overthrow the government. On the occasion of the wedding of Paulita Gomez and Juanito Pelaez, he gives a wedding gift to them: a beautiful lamp. Only he and his confidential associate, Basilio (Sisaโs son who joined his revolutionary cause), know that when the wick of his lamp burns lower, the nitroglycerine, hidden in its secret compartment, will explode, destroying the house where the wedding feast is going to be held killing all the guests, including the governor-general, the friars, and the government officials. Simultaneously, all the government buildings in Manila will be blown by Simounโs followers. As the wedding feast begins, the poet Isagani, who has been rejected by Paulita because of his liberal ideas, is standing outside the house, watching sorrowfully the merriment inside. Basilio, his friend, warns him to go away because the lightened lamp will soon explode. Upon hearing the horrible secret of the lamp, Isagani realizes that his beloved Paulita is in grave danger. To save her life, he rushes into the house, seizes the lightened lamp, and hurls it.
