Professor Barbara Watson Andaya in the documentary said: “Using the English word pirate is actually misleading in some aspects because it does not cover raiders, it does not cover people who act on behalf of the state.

Background of the Author (Emelio Jacinto) Brain of the Katipunan Artemio Ricarte called him the “Moses of the Filipino People” Epifanio De Los Santos considered him as the soul of revolution and the eyes of the katipunan. Emilio Jacinto was born in Tondo, Manila on December 15, 1875. His father was Mariano Jacinto who, according to Zaide, was a merchant. His mother Josefa Dizon was a manghihilot or midwife. He was proficient in both Tagalog and spanish. Was enrolled by his uncle at the colegio de san juan de letrán for his bachelor’s degree, and later transferred to the University of santo tomas to study law. Manuel Quezon (2nd president), Sergio Osmena (4th president), and Juan Sumulong (President of the opposition– main role is to question the government of the day and hold them accountable) were his classmates. He did not finish college. He joined the secret society called katipunan in 1894 and was the youngest member at 19 years old. He was the fiscal, secretary, editor, and later, general of the katipunan. He used the pen names: Pingkian Dimasilaw Ka Ilyong He also became the director of the printing shop and library of the katipunan. The library contains tactics and weaponry, the french revolution and works of demagogues. Jacinto was proclaimed generalissimo of the north (Punong Hukbo ng Hilagaan), became the adviser of the Supremo, and furnished Bonifacio with weapons, money, printing materials, and musical compositions. Was also the editor of the newspaper “kalayaan” Died from Malaria, April 16, 1899 (23 years old). Andres Bonifacio wanted to have a codified document Andres Bonifacio long listing the duties and responsibilities of every member of the katipunan. Bonifacio was drafting the said document (dekalogo ng katipunan), it happened that Emilio Jacinto was writing one as well. By the time that Bonifacio would consult his works to Jacinto for the comments of his drafts, the latter presented his work to the Supremo. Was impressed by Jacinto's work and decided to use it instead. The following are the other factors that were influential in the forming of the Katipunan and the Kartilya: Liberalism - political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed and equality before the law. (art movement) Classicism - in all media, has been to construct an ideal vision and version of human experience that should be inspire and instruct by its nobility, authority, rationality and truth and to provide convincing models of imitation, (art movements that prioritize human experience mostly) Modernism - is a period in literary history which started around the late 1900s and continued until the early 1940s. Modernist writers in general rebelled against clear-cut storytelling and formulaic verse from the 19th century. (art movement that communicates your message in direct and precise form) The french revolution was a period of social and political upheaval in france. It became the focal point for the development of all modern political ideologies. Led to the spread of radicalism, liberalism, and nationalism which greatly influenced the Ilustrados in the Philippines and in Europe. Masonry was introduced to the Philippines in 1856 when a Spanish officer organized a lodge in cavite under the auspices of the portuguese gran oriente lusitano. The roots of masonry sprouted in 1889 when Graciano Lopez Jaena organized the logia revolution in Barcelona under the auspices of grande oriente espanol. Masonry spread in the philippine circles, among Marcelo H. Del Pilar, Jose Alejandrino, brothers Antonio and Juan Luna, Jose Rizal, and more. The Propaganda movement was propelled by the execution of the three priests, GomBurZa, in 1872 which left a profound effect on many Filipinos including Jose Rizal. The La Liga de Filipina was established by Jose Rizal when he decided to return to the Philippines to continue to call for reforms through legal means. They ask for reform for a betterment (propaganda/la liga de filipina) change but when Bonifacio saw the exile of Jose Rizal in Dapitan, for him the reform was futile, so it led him to established the secret organization called Katipunan.
