(hanga)

The battle at Krotona lasted for 3 days straight
The fight between Florante and Heneral Osmalik lasted 5 hours.
Florante killed Osmalik.
The people of Krotona were overjoyed by the victory but were
even more happy when they found out that Florante, the one
who saved them, was from Krotona.

grandfather). They were all happy until they remembered
Prinsesa Floresca and her death.
Lesson: every happy moment is followed by a sad one.

he was too nice (Natural na Lei) too brutally kill people.

behead him but Heneral stopped this. Aladin was allowed to
leave pero he had to layas.
Sultans real reason was because he wanted to kill Aladin.
Aladin went to the forest.
Pagparaya= Aladin still respected his father.

XI.

Ang Pagtatagumpay Laban sa Kasamaan

Florante and Aladin were in the forest for 6 years. They heard
two girls talking; they were Laura and Flerida.
Flerida was explaining her story. She said that she allowed
herself to be with Sultan so that they wouldnt kill Aladin.
Although she is usually brave and independent, she sacrificed
herself for Aladin. When she was about to marry Sultan, Flerida
dressed as a soldier and escaped to find Aladin. She came
across Laura, who was about to be raped by Adolfo. Flerida
shoots Adolfo and he dies.
Laura explains her story. When Florante left for Etolyo, Adolfo
told the people of Albanya that Linceo wanted to starve them
and took over Albanya. Adolfo killed Linceo and Briseo. He
captured Laura and told her that she will marry him or else hell
kill her. Laura wrote to Florante for help. Unfortunately, Adolfos
letter reached Florante first. Menandro received Lauras letter
and went to Albanya. Menandro did not save Laura; Flerida did.
The four finally see each other and are very happy.
Laura represented women who stay at home (mahinhin) while
Flerida represented the women who are matapang.
