Inside The Complete Jose Rizal
Featured Publication
"Por teléfono"
Jose Rizal's By Telephone is a satirical work on the friars. Describing an imaginary telephone conversation between Father Salvadorcito Tont, the Augustinians' procurator in Madrid, and the Order's Father Provincial in Manila, the dialog focuses on the offer of the Minister for the Colonies to the Augustinians of a large estate. The Father Provincial questions Father Tont's judgment for even considering the offer, considering that that is exactly what their enemies want them to do: fulfill their vows of wealth, pride, and licentiousness. Father Tont is reminded of his duties and is then ordered to do penance for his action. The procurator expresses his desire to return to the Philippines to avoid the temptation of pretty girls and beautiful women present in Spain. Finally, when the matter of bistirufelismo is brought up, Father Tont is ordered to tell the Minister that the idea is simply nonexistent in the Philippines.
