Kabanata 23
Ang Piknik
Buod
Bata't matanda at mga kadalagahan ang maagang dumating sa tagpuan sa dalampasigan. Dalawang Bangkang nagagayakan ng iba't ibang kulay ns bulaklak ang naghihintay sa mga sasama sa pangingisda Madilim pa ay dumating na ang mga katulong na babae na mayroong dala-dalang mga pagkain at pinggan.
Meron ding mga sari-saring instrumentong dala ang mga kabataan.
Kasama ni
Maria Clara ang kaniyang matatalik na kaibigan.
Sila ay masayang naglalalad, nagkukuwentuhan at nagbibiruan.
Sinasaway sila ni Tiya Isabel at ang ibang mga matatanda sa kanilang maingay na usapan at tawanan.
Naghiwalay sila ng bangkang sinakyan sa takot na lumubog ito sa maraming sasakay na kabinataan.
Nagsama-sama ang mga lalaki kung saan meron silang nililigawan. Si Maria Clara naman ay nakasakay sa Bangka kung nasaan si
Crisostomo Ibarra.
Tumahimik ang mga dalaga sa harapan ng mga lalaking kanila ring nagugustuhan.
Ang piloto ng dalawang Bangka ay si Elias; isang matipuno, matikas at maitim. Mahaba rin ang buhok nito ngunit ang kaniyang katawan ay siksik ng laman.
Kumanta ng isang kundiman si Maria Calara habang naghihintay ng agahan.
Matamang nakinig ang mga kasama niya. Si Andeng na siyang naghahanda ng pagkain ay nagsabi na kulang na lang ang isda sa niluluto niyang sinigang.
Ang dalawang grupo ng nagpipiknik ay NASA baklad na ni Kapitan Tiyago. Isang anak ng mangingisda ang nagtangkang magpandaw sa palaisdaan. Wala siyang nahuli ni isa.
Si Leon ang katipan ng kaibigan ni Maria Clara na si Iday ay sumalok din sa baklad. Wala rin siyang nahuli.
Sinabi niya ang hinala niya na may kumakain sa mga isda sa baklad kaya nangawala.
Si Elias ay biglang tumalon sa tubig. Ang takot ng mga kababaihan. Ang mga lalaki ang nagsabi sa kanila na sanay si Elias sa paghuli ng buwaya.
Nahuli nga ni Elias ang buwaya pero malakas itong lumaban sa binata. Malapit nang matalo si Elias nang lumundag din si Ibarra sa tubig para tulungan si Elias.
Hindi hinimatay sa takot si Maria Clara. Hindi inaasahan ang dalagang magpakita ng takot sa pamamagitan ng paghihimatay.
Patuloy ang labanan sa ilalim ng tubog kaya isa pang anak ng mangingisda ang tumalon sa tubig na may dalang gulok.
Lumitaw na naman si Ibarra at si Elias. Iniligtas ni Ibarra ang buhay ni Elias.
Hindi man hinimatay si Maria Clara ay hindi naman ito nakakibo nang matagal. Natauhan lang siya nang Makita niyang ligtas ang kasintahan.
Marami namang isda ang nahuli ng mga nagpipiknik. Pumunta sila sa gubat na pag-aari ng pamilyang Ibarra.
Kumain sila sa lilim ng mga puno na malapit sa batisan.
The Rizal Law was approved on June 12, 1956.
Ang pamagat na "Placido Penitente" ng Kabanata 12 ay tumutukoy sa pangunahing tauhan na si Placido, na isang estudyante na nahaharap sa mga pagsubok at pang-aapi sa kanyang buhay. Ang salitang "penitente" ay nangangahulugang nagdurusa o nagdadalamhati, na nagpapakita ng kanyang mga pinagdaraanan at ang mga hamon sa kanyang edukasyon at prinsipyo. Sa kabanatang ito, itinatampok ang mga tema ng kawalang-katarungan at ang pagnanais ni Placido na magtagumpay sa kabila ng mga balakid. Ang pamagat ay nagbibigay-diin sa kanyang pagsisikap at pagninilay sa kanyang sitwasyon.
Yes because it is an independent sovereign nation. The Philippine ancestors had to defend the country for its people now to enjoy a unified sovereign, democratic and republican state. Many Philippine heroes fought for its independence like Andres Bonifacio, who founded the Katipunan, Dr. Jose Rizal who opened the minds of many Filipinos through his novels, Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo, Gregorio del Pilar, Emilio Jacinto, etc. General Emilio Aguinaldo declared the Philippine Independence on June 12, 1898.

Jose Rizal is the national hero of the Philippines... he is smarter than us.. and Jose has many jobs, i think it's 12.. yeah maybe.. he wrote a note on the fort Santiago I don't know if it's a church. The note was: ''MY LAST FAREWELL''
Region 12 in the Philippines is covered by a region called Soccsksargen. There are no known famous writers from region 12 in the Philippines.
The bill require all high schools and colleges to include in their curricula a course in the study of Rizal's literary works, mainly the Noli me Tangere and El Filibusterismo, to provide an in-depth study of nationalism and the shaping of national character invoked in these two novels. Although it met strong opposition from a contingent of Catholic groups because of the books' virulent attack on the Church and their perceived anti-clericalism, the bill was passed and approved on June 12, 1956 and became Republic Act 1425 known as Rizal Law. C.M recto sponsored the Rizal bill together with fellow senator Jose Laurel.Today there are many, especially among college and university students, who are calling for a repeal or revision of this law, questioning its essentiality to a high school and college diploma and its relevance to modern-day Filipino life.

(3 - 12/12)*12(3 - 12/12)*12(3 - 12/12)*12(3 - 12/12)*12
12 + 12 = 24 12 - 12 = 0 12 x 12 = 144 12/12 = 1
12+12=24 12-12=0 12x12=144 12/12=1 1/12 = 0.08333333333333333333
