Chapter 24:

Dreams

(The Summary of “El Filibusterismo”)

Isagani meets Paulita at Malecon.  In their conversation, Isagani is revealed to be an idealist who envisions progress and economic development of his country.  He converses with Paulita about railway expansion, cooperation between Spaniards and Filipinos, and the imminent commercial trade.  Paulita dismisses these thoughts saying they are unattainable dreams.
