On the morning of 29 June 1914 a crowd of tobacco-factory workers waits in the street at Azcárraga and Ilaya in Manila for news that will decide their livelihood, and one of them steps forward to lead. A short Tagalog tale of labour and solidarity in nine chapters, it won a prize from the Balintawak society in 1915. It is printed with a foreword by Carlos Ronquillo.
