''Makamisa'' (English: After Mass) is an unfinished novel written by Filipino patriot and writer José Rizal. The original manuscript was found by historian Ambeth Ocampo in 1987 while he was going through a 245-page collection of papers. This draft was written in pure, vernacular ''Lagunense'' Tagalog and has no written direct signature or date of inscription. The novel has only one chapter. It runs for only ten pages and is handwritten with orthographic ancillary glyphs.〔Mga Sinulat ni Rizal: Mga Akdang Pampanitikan sa Tuluyan, 1961. José Rizal Centennial Commission, Manila.〕 Although written in a different language, its style, characterization and setting mirror those of Rizal's two previous works, ''Noli me tangere'' and ''El filibusterismo'' which he wrote in Spanish. The chapter ends with a short unfinished sentence: which in English is equivalent to: which therefore satisfies the theory of it being unfinished. The novel explores the mysterious ill-temperament of the town curate ''Padre'' Agaton. Rizal later restarted work on ''Makamisa'', using Spanish.〔http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/45479/did-young-rizal-really-write-poem-for-children〕〔http://www.amazon.com/Etikang-Tagalog-Ikatlong-Nobela-Rizal/dp/9719188707〕 However, the novel remained unfinished. The draft in Spanish was later translated to Filipino (under the name ''Etikang Tagalog: Ang Ikatlong Nobela ni Rizal'') by Nilo S. Ocampo,〔 of the University of the Philippines Diliman ].〔http://kal.upd.edu.ph/dfpl_index.php?p=53〕 ==Characters== Seven characters are mentioned in this 10-page unfinished novel: * ''Padre'' Agaton (Father Agaton) - the parochial curate of the fictitious town of Tulig, described as a cheerful, approachable and powerful man who loves the town and is not known for his bad temper.
