    Reflection Paper

    MW 9:00AM-10:30AM Ms. Lopez

    a. What were the changes from one generation to the next?

    Formerly known as the Eibarramendia Family, the Ibarra’s was of wealthy


    decent from San Diego. Such popularity was derived from the family’s influence around
    their environment, they greatly shaped the lives of the town’s residents.

    From his Great grandfather to Crisostomo, there were four generations of


    Ibarra/Eibarramendia. Don Pedro Eibarramendia, his great grandfather came from the
    Basque area of Spain. He was as Spaniard who turned up in San Diego and acquired
    wood in exchange for clothes, jewelry, and money. It was noted that Don Pedro started
    the misfortunes of Elias’ famiy. His descendants abbreviated their surname to “Ibarra”.
    Don Pedro died of unknown reasons, but was seen as a decaying corpse on a Balete tree.

    Don Saturnino Eibarramendia, father of Don Rafael and claimed to be the son of
    Don Pedro but it was never justified. He was known to be one of the developer of the
    town of San Diego. Described to be a cruel man but was also clever. Don Saturnino
    married a young woman from Manila and had a son, Rafael, becoming the favorite of
    the townspeople for his charity.

    Don Rafael Ibarra. Though he is the richest man in San Diego, he is also the
    most virtuous and generous. Don Rafael later married and had a son, Crisostomo, whom
    he sent to Europe to study. Years after, Don Rafael was imprisoned for accidentally
    killing a Spanish tax collector; he soon after died in prison and was supposed to be
    buried but was thrown into the river instead. A year later, Crisostomo returned to San
    Diego and attempted to establish a school there, before being implicated in a revolt
    orchestrated by Padre Salvi.

    Lastly, Juan Crisostomo Ibarra y Magsalin. Son of a Filipino businessman, Don


    Rafael Ibarra. Crisostomo studied in Europe for seven years. Upon his return, Ibarra
    requested the local government of San Diego to construct a public school to promote
    education in the town but later was implicated in a revolt orchestrated by Padre Salvi.
    Fleeing the authorities, Crisostomo changed his identity to the jeweler Simoun. He then
    attempted to instigate a revolution to save his former betrothed Maria Clara from the
    nunnery. After two failed attempts, Simoun's involvement was made known; he then
    fled to Tiani and hid at the house of Padre Florentino, where he took poison to evade
    capture.
    b.       What do these changes suggest about the Creole or full-blood Spaniard in the
    Philippines?

    Corruption is the abuse of entrusted power for private gain. It can be classified as
    grand, petty and political, depending on the amounts of money lost and the sector where
    it occurs. And in the context of Noli Me Tangere, none is safe with corruption. Whether
    you are full blooded or a creole, you are within the peril of corruption. As for the
    Ibarra’s, who clearly came from old money - Don Pedro Eibarramendia who turned up
    in San Diego and acquired wood in exchange for clothes, jewelry, and money. This
    fortune then descended to Crisostomo where it would be stripped-off of him. Allowing
    the corrupt countrymen to take over the Ibarra’s land but never their riches.
