The Spanish authorities at the time believed that José Rizal's writings which was heavily critical of the Catholic Church (basically the government at the time) incited a rebellion that eventually turned into The Philippine Revolution.
This novel is very reminiscent of my all-time favorite classic 'The Count of Monte Cristo'. It's the love story of two innocent young people + the good ol' politics and corruption backdrop two-piece combo meal.
