    REFLECTION
    This novel tell us how cruel and how purely evil the Spaniards was.
    Nevertheless, it also tackles the bravery of the Filipino community. It shows the
    unimagined bravery of our countrymen on fighting the greediness and cruelty
    of the Spaniards.
    El Filibusterismo showed us how anger and vengeance can take over a person's
    being. I also find very much delight in the conversation between Ibarra and
    Father Florentino. El FIlibusterismo also shares the theme that violence is not
    the answer with Noli Me Tangere.
    As a Filipino, we should always be righteous and still choose what is right over
    what is wrong. As the saying goes, “Do not do unto others what you don't want
    others do unto you”. We should be good so that people around will also do
    good to us.
