Spanish Mayor in Manila
Prologue
Long time ago, Simoun, a rich jeweler sporting a beard and blue-tinted glasses, and a confidant of the Captain-General. Abandoning his idealism, he becomes a cynical saboteur, the titular filibustero, seeking revenge against the system responsible for his misfortunes by plotting a revolution. Simoun insinuates himself into Manila high society and influences every decision of the Captain-General to mismanage the country's affairs so that a revolution will break out. His revenge is to kill everyone using pomegranate-styled lamp during inside the wedding reception of Paulita Gomez and Juanito Pelaez at the former home of the late Captain Tiago. However, his plan backfires, as people begin to panic, the lamp flickers. Father Irene tries to turn the wick up when Isagani, due to his undying love for Paulita, bursts in the room and throws the lamp into the river, sabotaging Simoun's plans. He escapes by diving into the river as guards chase after him. He later regrets his impulsive action because he had contradicted his own belief that he loved his nation more than Paulita and that the explosion and revolution could have fulfilled his ideals for Filipino society.
Simoun unmasks as the perpetrator and becomes a fugitive getting pursued by Guardia Civil Soldiers and took refuge at Padre Florentino's home. Simoun takes poison in order for him not to be captured alive by the authorities. Before he dies, he reveals his real identity to Father Florentino while they exchange thoughts about the failure of his revolution and why God forsook him. Father Florentino opines that God did not forsake him and that his plans were not for the greater good but for personal gain. Simoun, finally accepting Father Florentino's explanation, squeezes his hand and dies. Father Florentino then takes Simoun's remaining jewels and throws them into the sea, hoping that they would not be used by the greedy, and that when the time came that it would be used for the greater good, when the nation would be finally deserving liberty for themselves, the sea would reveal the treasures.
At the present day in Madrid the capital of Spain, a man with no real discipline beats up the guys who make all the rants against him. He is really known as the "Spanish Brawler" and also a matador who is a bullfighter revealing to be Miguel Caballero Rojo and he was found by the government officials.
"Who are you and what do you want?" Miguel asked the government officials and one of them answered.
"We came here to look for you. I know that you were the ones hope?"
"Oh… you want me to get in with you, people. Oh come on…"
"We don't mean to hesitate on you. We came here just in time to find you. Mr. Rojo."
"Oh, you mean you people to find me here."
"We'll talk about this later now come with us…"
And so Miguel joined with the government officials and he thinks that this for his dead sister just to help these officials and this is the beginning of his adventure of the lifetime.
