Kartilya ng Katipunan Who was Emilio Jacinto?  Jacinto is remembered as the Brains of the Katipunan. Born on December 15, 1875 in Trozo, Tondo, Manila, he lost his father, Mariano Jacinto, at very young age and he was raised by his mother, Josefa Dizon, and uncle. He studied at the Colegio de San Juan de Letran where he obtained the degree of bachiller en artes. Later he enrolled at the University of Santo Tomas to study law. It was during this time when Jacinto joined the Katipunan and he was one of the youngest members of the revolutionary society at the age of 18. As one of the main leaders of the Katipunan Jacinto authored the Kartilya or the primer of the Katipunan which was adopted by Bonifacio.  What were the circumstances of time and place? What is a kartilya? The Kartilya was about the fourteen (14) lessons that serve as the Katipuneros’ guide in living with morals and good values. It was like a code of conduct that shows how to be a true Filipino in words and action. I believe that this Kartilya ng Katipuan shows the path on how to live a meaningful life for every Filipino. Each lesson is unique in such a way that it tackle different aspects of person’s life. 1. Ang kabuhayang hindi ginugugol sa isang The first highlights the significance of living life with a purpose. “A Katipunero who does not have a purpose lives is malaki at banal na kadahilanan ay kahoy na a useless life”. Life is a gift given to everyone that must be walang lilim, kundi damong makamandag treasured by making it meaningful through setting up goals and achieving it no matter how hard it is. The second rule is about doing what is right. “A deed carried 2. Ang gawang magaling na nagbubuhat sa out for the sake of fame is not worthy of praise.” There are certain things in life that would make others proud because pagpipita sa sarili, at hindi sa talagang nasang of you but sometimes it’s done just to be popular. Everyone gumawa ng kagalingan, ay di kabaitan. must bear in mind that doing good must be accompanied with humbleness. A deed that is done must be because of what someone really feels like doing to help other people. 3. Ang tunay na kabanalan ay ang The third shows what the true meaning of kindness is. “True pagkakawang gawa, ang pagibig sa kapua at act of kindness for a Katipunero is in the love and service he render to other people and not the other way round.” It only ang isukat ang bawat kilos, gawa’t means that having an open hand to give help without pangungusap sa talagang Katuiran. expecting in return is one of the best example to show an act kindness.  The fourth rule highlights equality among people. 4. Maitim man at maputi ang kulay ng balat, lahat “Every Katipuneros are treated equally no matter what ng tao’y magkakapantay; mangyayaring ang isa’y race or educational background he has. “ higtan sa dunong, sa yaman, sa ganda…; ngunit di mahihigtan sa pagkatao. The Fifth shows what honor should mean for a 5. Ang may mataas na kalooban inuuna ang puri sa Katipunero. “A true Katipunero values Honor more pagpipita sa sarili; ang may hamak na kalooban than his personal interests.” inuuna ang pagpipita sa sarili sa puri. The sixth is about doing the “walk the talk” concept or 6. Sa taong may hiya, salita’y panunumpa. putting into action the words that has been promised. “A Katipunero who has a sense of shame must be a man of his own word.” 7. Huag mong sasayangin ang panahun; ang The seventh rule gives importance to how we manage our yamang nawala’y magyayaring magbalik; nguni’t time and give our best like tomorrow ends because time is as precious as a gold. “A Katipunero must give importance panahong nagdaan na’y di na muli pang to time. For the Katipunan, a time lost will never be back.” magdadaan. Value of time 8. Ipagtanggol mo ang inaapi, at kabakahin The eighth lesson simply tells everyone to fight for ang umaapi. what is right and fight with the persons who is at the right side. “A Katipunero must protect the weak and fight for those who oppress the weak.” The ninth is about the significance of trust that 9.

If the leader is consumed by evil, so patutunguhan ng iaakay ay kasamaan din. does his followers.”  The eleventh highlights everything a man 11. Ang babai ay huag mong tignang isang must look at woman’s identity. “A bagay na libangan lamang, kundi isang Katipunero must give importance to katuang at karamay sa mga kahirapan woman. He must not see her as an object, nitong kabuhayan; gamitan mo ng buong nor pat time. That whenever a Katipunero pagpipitagan ang kaniyang kahinaan, at sees a woman, he will remember his mother alalahanin ang inang pinagbuhata’t nagiwi who nurtured him.” sa iyong kasangulan.

Ang kamahalan ng tao’y wala sa pagkahari, wala sa tangus ng ilong at puti ng mukha, wala sa pagkaparing The thirteenth rule is about one’s kahalili ng Dios wala sa mataas na knowledge on how to have a right kalagayan sa balat ng lupa; wagas at character in dealing with life. “A tunay na mahal na tao, kahit laking Katipuneros’ life is not measured by gubat at walang nababatid kundi ang what is his status in life nor with the sariling wika, yaong may magandang things he possess. Instead, it is in his asal, may isang pangungusap, may character and his love for the native dangal at puri; yaong di napaaapi’t di land. nakikiapi; yaong marunong magdamdam at marunong lumingap sa bayang tinubuan.  14.
