In ''Po-on'' begins the narration of the experiences of one generation of the ''Samson'' family, through ''Eustaqio “Istak” Samson'', a farmer who joined the rebel forces. The peasant family reluctantly left their original hometown to escape further oppression from a corrupt Spanish priest and from the persecution of other colonial authorities. Their journey lead them to a new place at Rosales, Pangasinan. The novelist discusses the life and the origins of this family while embellished with the historical background of the Philippines during the late 1880s.〔〔〔〔〔〔〔〔
