Filibusterismo Script Kabanata 17 ((top)) — El

They say the earth devours its children. They are right. But sometimes, the child must devour the earth first to survive. You two, with your books... you want to save the country? Do it with your pens. But remember this: while you write, the ground is shaking. And those who do not know how to hold a gun will be buried by the landslide.

(wincing and rolling his eyes) Calm yourself, Padre. You are worse than a schoolboy. The whole plaza can see your delight.
