However, he was surprised by the facts how his father had been treated during a trial and after he died. After learning about this, he decided to continue his father's plan of building a school while reuniting with Maria Clara, his childhood sweetheart from a wealthy family while the former parish priest Padre Damaso keeps on rejecting both.

Many characters who symbolize every type of Filipino during those times have revolved around these characters. Get a glimpse of how the Filipinos fight for their own right, in their own ways during the 17th century.
