Plot
Daluyong begins where Franciscos novel 'Maganda pa ang Daigdig' ("The World Be Beautiful Still") ends. Lino Rivero, a former ranch worker, is given an opportunity to own a portion of land by the priest Padre Echevarria. Lino becomes an avatar who, through his efforts and good will, is able to free himself from the oppressive "tenant farmer" system. Apart from the "waves of changes" that might happen due to agrarian reform and because of the hope of the Filipino lower class for a good future, 'Daluyong' tackled the "waves of forces" that prevents such changes and hopes from being realized.
