However, the planned revolt one night was not carried out because Simoun, upon hearing that Maria Clara died in the nunnery, decided not to give the signal for the outbreak of the uprising.Īnother plan was made some months later. Using his influence, Simoun encourages corruption, decadence, and more oppressive government policies so that the citizens may become more infuriated.
Simoun also makes an alliance with the revolutionary group of Kabesang Tales, a former ‘cabeza de barangay’ who suffered maltreatments from the hands of the friars. One of his recruits is Basilio, the son of Sisa, who with Capitan Tiago’s help was able to study in Manila. Planning to stage a revolution, he smuggles arms and looks for followers, mainly from the exploited and abused natives.
In reality however, everything Simoun does is just part of his grand plan to take revenge against the Spanish officials and rescue Maria Clara from the convent.
