Here is the summary of Chapter 38 of the El Filibusterismo…

Chapter 38: A Twist of Fate (Sawimpalad)

You’ll learn about how the lives of certain characters are met with a string of bad luck. What makes it even more painfully poignant is that their misfortune is brought about by their own hand, or by their own doing.

We learn that the bandit Matanglawin (Kabesang Tales) has attacked several places in Luzon. He murdered the justice of the peace in the town of Tiani, burned some places to the ground, and hopped from province to province. He moves about freely: sometimes he’s in Batangas, next he’s in Cavite, and is soon spotted in Tayabas, Pangasinan, or in far-away Bicol.
