Carmina and Patch discover just how colorful a life Balagtas lived. They discuss how artfully Balagtas infused the spirit of resistance in his famous masterpiece, “Florante at Laura,” by including themes and characters that defied the times in which he lived. They also make several other important discoveries, including how an almost-forgotten memory in Carmina’s childhood was unearthed because of a verse in “Florante at Laura.”
