The book El Filibusterismo (Subversion) is the second novel by Jose Rizal, national hero of the Philippines. Written as a sequel to the Noli Me Tangere, it was begun after the author returned to Europe in 1888, was published in Ghent in 1891, then shipped to Hong Kong, where many copies were confiscated by authorities who by then realized the impact of Rizal's writings on his people. It was serialized in El nuevo regimen in Madrid in 1891, and later translated into English, German, French, Japanese, Tagalog, Ilonggo and other foreign and local languages.
To this translation, Soledad Lacson-Locsin has restored the original dedication "Al Pueblo Filipino y su Gobierno" which was not in the printed edition, in order to heighten the change she saw from the softer emotions of the Noli to the anger and passion of the Fili.
