resistance against the colonial government.
• In 1895, Bonifacio became the top leader, or Presidente Supremo, of the
Katipunan.
• Bonifacio kicked off the revolt by leading thousands of his followers to
tear up their community tax certificates, or cedulas. This signaled their

sentence of Bonifacio, when the latter tried to rein him in.

A. KARTILYA NG KATIPUNAN BY ANDRES BONIFACIO

1. Ibigin mo ang Dios ng buong puso

2. Pakatandaang lagi na ang tunay na pagibig sa Dios ay siya ring pagibig sa
Tinubuan, at iyan din ang pagibig sa kapwa.
3. Itanim sa iyong puso na, ang tunay na kahalagahan ng puri’s kaginhawahan ay
ang ikaw’y mamatay dahil sa ikaliligtas ng Inang-Bayan

4. Lahat ng iyong mabuting hangad ay magwawagi kapay ikaw’y may hinahon,
tiyaga, katwiran at pag-asa sa iyong inaasal at ginagawa.
5. Pagingatan mo, kapara ng pagiingat sa sariling puri, ang mga pasya at adhikain
ng K.K.K.
6. Katungkulan ng lahat na, ang nabibingit sa malaking kapahamakan sa
pagtupad kanyang tungkulin ay iligtas sukdang ikapariwara ng sariling buhay
at kayamanan.
7. Ag kaugalian natin sa ating sarili at sa pagtupad ng ating tungkol ay siyang
kukunang halimbawa ng ating kapwa.
8. Bahaginan mo ng iyong makakayanan ang sino mang mahirap at kapus- palad
9. Ang sipag sa paggawa ng iyong ikabubuhay ay siyang tunay na sanhi ng pag-
ibig, pagmamahal sa sarili, sa iyong asawa’t mga anak, sa iyong kapatid at mga
kababayan.
10. Parusahan ang sinomang masamang tao’t taksil at purihin ang mabubuting
gawa. Dapat mong paniwalaan na ang tinutungo ng K.K.K. ay mga biyaya ng
Dios; na anopa’t ang mga ninasa ng Inang-Bayan, ay mga nasain din ng Dios.

B. KARTILYA NG KATIPUNAN BY EMILIO JACINTO

1. Ang buhay na hindi ginugugol sa isang malaki at banal na kadahilanan ay

kahoy na walang lilim, kundi damong makamandag.
2. Ang gawang magaling na nagbuhat sa paghahambog o pagpipita sa sarili, at
hindi talagang nasang gumawa ng kagalingan, ay di kabaitan.
3. Ang tunay na kabanalan ay ang pagkakawang-gawa, ang pag-ibig sa kapwa at
ang isukat ang bawat kilos, gawa't pangungusap sa talagang Katuwiran.

4. Ang buhay na hindi ginugugol sa isang malaki at banal na kadahilanan ay

kahoy na walang lilim, kundi damong makamandag.
5. Ang gawang magaling na nagbuhat sa paghahambog o pagpipita sa sarili, at
hindi talagang nasang gumawa ng kagalingan, ay di kabaitan.
6. Ang tunay na kabanalan ay ang pagkakawang-gawa, ang pag-ibig sa kapwa at
ang isukat ang bawat kilos, gawa't pangungusap sa talagang Katuwiran.
7. Maitim man o maputi ang kulay ng balat, lahat ng tao'y magkakapantay;
mangyayaring ang isa'y hihigtan sa dunong, sa yaman, sa ganda...; ngunit di
mahihigtan sa pagkatao.
8. Ang may mataas na kalooban, inuuna ang puri kaysa pagpipita sa sarili; ang
may hamak na kalooban, inuuna ang pagpipita sa sarili kaysa sa puri.
9. Sa taong may hiya, salita'y panunumba.
10. Huwag mong sayangin ang panahon; ang yamang nawala'y mangyayaring
magbalik; ngunit panahong nagdaan ay di na muli pang magdadaan.
11. Ipagtanggol mo ang inaapi; kabakahin ang umaapi.
12. Ang mga taong matalino'y ang may pag-iingat sa bawat sasabihin; matutong
ipaglihim ang dapat ipaglihim.
13. Sa daang matinik ng buhay, lalaki ang siyang patnugot ng asawa at mga anak;
kung ang umaakay ay tungo sa sama, ang pagtutunguhan ng inaakay ay
kasamaan din.
14. Ang babae ay huwag mong tingnang isang bagay na libangan lamang, kundi
isang katuwang at karamay sa mga kahirapan nitong buhay; gamitin mo nang
buong pagpipitagan ang kanyang kahinaan, at alalahanin ang inang
pinagbuharan at nag-iwi sa iyong kasanggulan.
15. Ang di mo ibig gawin sa asawa mo, anak at kapatid, ay huwag mong gagawin
sa asawa, anak at kapatid ng iba.

C. EL VERDADERO DECALOGO BY APOLINARIO MABINI

Written by Apolinario Mabini, “Ang Dakilang Lumpo”

• It is a set of rules inspired by The Ten Commandments of the Bible,
detailing beliefs of how the Filipino should act and live.

First. Love God and your honor over all things: God, as the source of all truth, all
justice and all activity; your honor, the only power that obliges you to be truthful,
just and industrious.

Second. Worship God in the form that your conscience that God speaks to you,
reproaching you for your misdeeds and applauding you for your good deeds.

Third. Develop the special talents that God has given you, working and studying
according to your capabilities, never straying from the path of good and justice, in
order to achieve your own perfection, and by this means you will contribute to the
progress of humanity: thus you will accomplish the mission that God himself has
given you in this life, and achieving this, you will have honor, and having honor,
you will be glorifying God.

Fourth. Love your country after God and your honor, and more than you love
yourself, because your country is the only paradise that God has given you in this
life; the only patrimony of your race; the only inheritance from your ancestors; and
the only future of your descendants: because of your country you have life, love
and interests; happiness, honor and God.

Fifth. Strive for the happiness of your country before your own, making her the
reigning influence for reason, justice and work; if your country is happy, you and
your family will also be happy.

Sixth. Strive for the independence of your country, because you alone can have a
real interest in her aggrandizement and ennoblement, since here independence
will mean your own freedom, her aggrandizement your own perfection, and her
ennoblement your own glory and immortality.

Seventh. In your country, do not recognize the authority of any person who has
not been elected by you and your compatriots, because all authority comes from
God, and as God speaks to the conscience of each individual, the person chosen and
proclaimed by the consciences of all the individuals of a whole town is the only one
that can exercise real authority.

Eighth. Strive that your country be constituted as a republic, and never as a

monarchy: a monarchy empowers one or several families and lays the foundation
for a dynasty; a republic ennobles and dignifies a country based on reason, it is
great because of its freedom, and is made prosperous and brilliant by dint of work.

Ninth. Love your neighbor as you love yourself, because God has imposed on him
and on you the obligation to help one another, and has dictated that he does not
do unto you what he does not want you to do unto him; but if your neighbor is
remiss in this sacred duty and makes an attempt on your life, your freedom and
your priorities, then you should destroy him and crush him, because the supreme
law of self-preservation must prevail.

Tenth. Always look on your countryman as more than a neighbor: you will find
in him a friend, a brother and at least the companion to whom you are tied by
only one destiny, by the same happiness and sorrows, and by the same
aspirations and interests.

Because of this, while the borders of the nations established and preserved by the
egoism of race and of family remain standing, you must remain united to your
country in perfect solidarity of views and interests in order to gain strength, not
only to combat the common enemy, but also to achieve all the objectives of human
life.

Historical Commission of the Philippines.
