In Kabanata 25, "Sa Tahanan ng Pantas", where Crisostomo is seeking advice from Pilosopong Tasyo for his plans of building a new school for boys and girls in San diego. Tasyo calls it "pangarap ng baliw" or "a madman's dream" because no matter how much effort one would put in giving education, if the student himself/herself is discouraged by both the church and his/her own parents and also by the long held beliefs of the people then they will lose the drive to learn.

Education, back then, was seen as this unattainable thing for "indios", it was reserved for the wealthy, and as it was portrayed, the "wealthy" (Kapitan tiago, don tiburcio and donya victorina) back then were held in a vice grip by the church. And we see that those who dare to defy the church (don rafael ibarra) would receive dire consequences.

That's why Tasyo advices Crisostomo ibarra to "halikan ang kamay ng mga makapangyarihan" because he knows that if they decide to fight him, he will fail.

It really showcases how society was controlled by the church and how much we lean on them. The country could not evolve because we were always asking for their permission, we relied on them, and we believed in them. They lied.
