From the renowned Filipino reformist and national hero Dr. Jose Rizal comes a classic piece of literature that served as the spark for the nation's revolution and the eye-opener regarding the disease that has been festering within the Philippine society during the Spanish era. After seven years of studying in Europe, a wealthy young gentleman by the name of Juan Crisostomo Ibarra returns to the Philippines, filled with hope and inspired by dreams for the betterment of the country. Armed with sheer determination and a firm and positive outlook on things, he commits himself to continuing his father's philanthropical work, pioneering projects aiming at the development of the people's welfare by providing means to education and livelihood. While there are people who are avid supporters of the young man's cause, there exists in the shadows an entity as dark and malicious as the abyss it came from, shrouded deeply by lies and deceit and the hypocrisy that spawned it, hell-bent on destroying everything that stood in its path...

Makamisa, or "After Mass," is the completion of the unfinished novel of José Rizal, which was written in Tagalog and set in the late 19th-century Spanish colonial Philippines. The story explores societal transformation amidst ignorance, oppression, rebellion, and the interplay of power. The narrative centers on the fictional town of Tulig, where the Church, the Guardia Civil, and the principalia exploit and dominate the lives of the common people. Padre Agaton, a corrupt friar hiding dark secrets, wields immense influence over the town, manipulating both spiritual and material aspects of life. Capitan Nicasio, the brutal military commander, enforces obedience through fear and violence, while opportunistic figures like Kapitan Tibo and Don Roman perpetuate the oppressive colonial structure. Francisco, the son of Crisostomo Ibarra and raised under the guidance of Padre Florentino, emerges as the story's reluctant revolutionary. Instilled with the values of a true caballero, he grapples with balancing religious piety and civic duty while leading a movement for change. Francisco finds an ally in Marcela, a cultured intellectual from Manila, whose engagement with the brewing revolution in Tulig strengthens the resolve for liberation. Superstition, falsehoods, and defamation plague the town, highlighting the tools used to subjugate the people. The revolution culminates in fierce battles, the symbolic downfall of the Guardia Civil, and the exile of the corrupt Spaniards. Yet, victory remains bittersweet as Tulig confronts the cost of rebellion and the challenges of building a just society. Rizal's Makamisa combines satire, drama, and social critique, questioning religious hypocrisy, political oppression, social elitism, and cultural mediocrity. It reflects on whether true freedom and equality can be achieved in a society entrenched in colonial structures, offering a poignant exploration of national identity and the enduring struggle for justice.
