or lived by the Katipuneros. In other words, The kartilya ng katipunan is the
guiding principles of how a katipunero should behave or act. This text is
important because each one of Filipinos wanting to become part of the
revolutionary society should know, agree, and follow the set of principles to
be qualified. The Code of Conduct of the Katipunan aims to educate the
members of the revolution about rationality and moral values that are crucial
to one’s development of values, nationalism, and awareness to the situation of
the country.
2. Background text of the author

Emilio Jacinto, the author of the Katipunan Code of conduct, was born
in Tondo Manila and known to be poor like most of the Filipinos during the
colonization. He may be underprivileged but Jacinto is rich in knowledge and
is considered the brightest among members of the Katipunan, for he studied in
San Juan de Letran College and was a law student at the University of the
Santo Tomas. At the age of 18 years old, Emilio Jacinto became a member of
the KKK, making him the youngest and the brightest among the members, that
is why he is called the “brain of the revolution”. Emilio Jacinto became the
youngest general of the Katipunan and became part of the supreme council
where he was appointed as the secretary, advisor, and right-hand of Andres
Bonifacio, the supreme president of the Katipunan.
Aside from being the mind of KKK, Emilio Jacinto was also known as
“the soul of revolution”, the editor of the “Kalayaan”, or the newspaper
printing of the Katipunan, with the penname “dimasilaw”, and the writer of the
“Kartilya ng Katipunan. At the age of 24 years old, Emilio Jacinto died
because of Malaria and left his wife named, Catalina de Jesus, who was
pregnant at that time.
Emilio Jacinto as the director of the library of the Katipunan was a
bookworm and loves to read novels and books like Noli Me Tangere, El
Filibusterismo, La Solidaridad, and foreign books/novels that contain liberal
information which influenced knowledge and radical ideas to Jacinto. The
construction of the Katipunan or KKK was inspired by the propaganda
movement of the Triumvirate ( Jose Rizal, Graciano Lopez Jaena, and
Marcelo H. Del Pilar) wherein it brings the realization that reforms are not
effective in answering the issues raised by the propagandist and started a
revolution. Emilio Jacinto having the knowledge of liberty, equality and
fraternity, was influenced to wrote the primer of the Katipunan or known as
The Katipunan Code of Conduct, to serve as the guidelines of Katipunero for
them not to behave like the individuals they hate, which are the Spaniards, and
put into actions the values of liberty and equality among the Katipunan.

5. Do you think the Kartilya ng Katipunan was the basis in crafting our laws and
rules in our government?

The Katipunan Code of Conduct

 it contained fourteen rules that instruct the way a Katipunan should behave,
and which specific values should be uphold. Generally, the rules that are
contained in the Kartilya can be classified into two. The first group contains
the rules that will make the member an upright individual and the second
group contains the rules that will guide the way he treats his fellow men

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 

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. 
V. 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, man is the guide of woman (“parents”) and the children,
and if the guide leads to the 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.

 As the primary government document, which determine the rules of conduct in

the Katipunan, properly understanding the Kartilya will thus help in
understanding the values, ideals, aspirations and even the ideology of the
organization.
