IN honor of our Independence Day, we give this reminder about the discussion on the fate of our country and people that Jose Rizal wrote in El Filibusterismo, using the words of Fr. Florentino and the dying anarchist hero-martyr Simoun.

This excerpt is from the final chapter of the novel (whose most popular English translation is The Reign of Greed by Charles Derbyshire).
