Chapter 12:

Placido Penitente

(The Summary of “El Filibusterismo”)

Placido enters the class in physics conducted by Padre Millon.  The class has no laboratory equipment, while the instruments bought by the university are never used.  At a class recitation, Placido argues with the professor when he gets a bad mark even if he had been marked as being absent.  From disgust and frustration, Placido Penitente walks out of the class.
