"He stands up and he yells, how dare he. To the face of the Founder of the Katipunan? Is he serious? This convention would not have happened if he didn’t call for it, if he and men like him – the laborers with calloused hands and sun-beaten brows – weren’t brave enough to take a stand in the first place. Who is Tirona and his ilk, sitting across him with his finely trimmed hair and expensive suit? Who is Aguinaldo, perched now to take his seat on the table with his hands, trained by the best with a sword and a horse’s reins when Bonifacio had to learn it from nothing?"
