    Chapter 3: The Dinner

    Everyone heads to the lunch table to seat themselves. Padre Damaso


    and Sibyla offer each other the head seat by the end of the table with fake
    kindness. Ibarra tells stories of his time spent abroad, where he reveals that
    he has been to many countries and has learned a lot of other languages and
    cultures. Ibarra realizes the feast was prepared in his honor when he is
    served the meatiest part of the tinola (A well-known Filipino dish). This
    enrages Padre Damaso even more, and the padre starts to taunt Ibarra with
    his haughty and bitter comments. Ibarra simply remains calm. A while later,
    Ibarra stands up to leave. Kapitan Tiago halts him, informing the young man
    that the love of his life, Maria Clara, will be arriving soon. Ibarra, however,
    takes his leave, but promises to come back again the next day.

    Chapter 4: The Heretic and the Filibuster

    Ibarra is now walking the streets of San Diego when Tenyente


    Guevarra catches up with him. The Tenyente warns him to be careful, or
    else he will end up like his father. Surprised, Ibarra immediately questions
    Tenyente Guevarra about the fate of his father. The Tenyente goes on to tell
    Ibarra that although his father Don Rafael was one of the wealthiest and
    most respected men in the town, there were many Spaniards and priests
    who were angry at Don Rafael. A few months after Ibarra had left for
    Europe, Don Rafael and Padre Damaso had a big conflict. Don Rafael's
    enemies ganged up on him, accusing him of killing a tax collector, being a
    heretic and filibuster, insulting the priests behind their backs, and many
    more. He was convicted and placed behind bars. Tenyente Guevarra tried to
    help by getting Don Rafael a good lawyer. When Don Rafael was about to be
    set free (the lawyer won the case), he died inside his prison cell due to the
    sickness he had developed during his captivity. Tenyente Guevarra ends
    there, telling Ibarra that Kapitan Tiago will continue the rest of the story
    next time. Ibarra rides a kalesa (horse-drawn carriage) to his temporary
    residence, Fonda de Lala.

    Notes:
    Heretic - someone who does not believe in God or has betrayed Him and
    the Roman Catholic Church. Don Rafael was convicted of this because he
    was accused of reading the controversial book "El Correo de Ultramar."

    Filibuster - enemy of the state/government; someone who has gone


    against laws or people of the government. One of the reasons Don Rafael
    was convicted of this is because he frequently wore a Barong Tagalog, a
    formal Filipino suit, which apparently was a sign of rebellion for the
    Spaniards.

    Story of the tax collector and Don Rafael - A Filipino child was making fun
    of a tax collector. In his fury, the tax collector started to beat the child
    severely. Don Rafael, to save the child, hit the tax collector with a rock, and
    the tax collector died.
