    would explode when the lid of the light pulled. The explosion would be the cue for the rebels to attack. But his plan did not
    materialize because on the day of the wedding Basilio warned Isagani about the explosion. And so Isagani went to the
    venue and threw the oil lamp to the river. The explosion did not happen and the rebels thought that they were deceived by
