Chapte 27

Posted by Develos

Isagani is summoned by Padre Fernandez. The priest wants to talk to him about his involvement in the celebration held at the panciteria.  Their discussion, however, focuses on the ways by which the friars conduct education.  According to Isagani, the friars are intentionally delivering antiquated education to keep the Filipinos from aspiring for freedom and civil liberties. He argues further that those who yearn for such dreams are immediately labeled as filibusters, revolutionaries, and rebels.  In response to the youth’s claims, Padre Fernandez says that not all friars are backward and are against the idea of educating the natives and the people. Education, he says, can only be given to minds that are ready and deserving.
