    (1) a united Filipino nation that would revolt against the Spaniards for (2) the total
    independence of the country from Spain

    Ex. Diego Silang and the Ilustrados


    KARTILYA NG KATIPUNAN
    ◊ One of the most important Katipunan document
    ◊ Manga Aral Nang Katipunan ng mga A.N.B or Lessons of the Organization of the Sons
    of Country is the original title of this document
    ◊ This document was written by Emilio Jacinto in 1896
    ◊ It can be treated as the Katipunan’s code of conduct
    ◊ It contains 14 rules that instruct the way a Katipunero should behave, and which
    specific values should he uphold

    EMILIO JACINTO
    ◊ he was only 18 years old when he joined the movement
    ◊ a Law student at the Universidad de Santo Tomas
    ◊ Bonifacio recognized the value and intellect of Jacinto
    ◊ became the secretary of the organization and took charge of the short-lived
    printing press of the Katipunan
    ◊ he was appointed as a commander of the Katipunan in Northern Luzon on
    April 15, 1897 at the age of 22.
    ◊ he died of Malaria at a young age of 24 in the town of Magdalena, Laguna
    Below is the translated version of the rules in Kartilya:

    I. The life that is not consecrated to a lofty and reasonable purpose is a tree without a shade, if not a poisonous
    weed.

    II. To do good for personal gain and not for its own sake is not virtue.

    III. It is rational to be charitable and love one’s fellow creature, and to adjust one’s conduct, acts and words to
    what is in itself reasonable.

    IV. Whether our skin be black or white, we are all born equal: superiority in knowledge, wealth and beauty are
    to be understood, but not superiority by nature.

    V. The honorable man prefers honor to personal gain; the scoundrel, gain to honor.

    VI. To the honorable man, his word is sacred.

    VII. Do not waste thy time: wealth can be recovered but not time lost.
    VIII Defend the oppressed and fight the oppressor before the law or in the field

    IX The prudent man is sparing in words and faithful in keeping secrets.

    X On the thorny path of life, a man is the guide of woman and the children, and if the guide leads to
    precipice, those whom he guides will also go there.

    XI Thou must not look upon woman as a mere plaything, but as a faithful companion who will share with thee the
    penalties of life; her (physical) weakness will increase thy interest in her and she will remind thee of the mother
    who bore thee and reared thee.

    XII What thou dost not desire done unto thy wife, children, brothers and sisters, that do not unto the wife,
    children, brothers and sisters of thy neighbor.

    XIII Man is not worth more because he is a king, because his nose is aquiline, and his color white, not because he is
    a priest, a servant of God, nor because of the high prerogative that he enjoys upon earth, but he is worth most who is
    a man of proven and real value, who does good, keeps his words, is worthy and honest; he who does not oppress
    nor consent to being oppressed, he who loves and cherishes his fatherland, though he be born in the wilderness and
    know no tongue but his own.
    XIV When these rules of conduct shall be known to all, the longed-for sun of liberty shall rise brilliant over this
    most unhappy portion of the globe and its rays shall diffuse everlasting joy among the confederated brethren of
    the same rays, the lives of those who have gone before, the fatigues and the well-paid sufferings will remain. If
    he who desires to enter (the katipunan) has informed himself of all this and believes he will be able to perform
    what will be his duties, he may fill out the application for admission.
    ANALYSIS OF THE KARTILYA NG KATIPUNAN

    Similar to what we have done to the accounts of Pigafetta, this primary source also needs to be
    analyzed in terms of content and context.

    4th & 13th rules in the Kartilya are an invocation of the inherent equality between and among men
    regardless of race, occupation or status.
