(The Summary of “Noli Me Tangere”)

The town discusses the incident between Padre Damaso and Ibarra.  The town captain criticizes Ibarra for his lack of self-control, while others opine that Ibarra will be branded as a filibuster and will be excommunicated by the Church. Don Filipo and Capitana Maria, however, both agree that Ibarra did the right thing in protecting his father’s honor and memory.
