    Emilio Jacinto (December 15, 1875 – April 16, 1899) was a Filipino General during the Philippine

    Revolution. He was one of the highest-ranking officers in the Philippine Revolution and was one of the
    highest-ranking officers of the revolutionary society Kataas-taasan, Kagalang-galang na Katipunan ng
    mga Anak ng Bayan, or simply and more popularly called Katipunan, being a member of its Supreme
    Council. He was elected Secretary of State for the Haring Bayang Katagalugan, a revolutionary
    government established during the outbreak of hostilities. He is popularly known in Philippine history
    textbooks as the Brains of the Katipunan while some contend he should be rightfully recognized as the
    "Brains of the Revolution" (Filipino: Utak ng Himagsikan, a title that is usually given to Apolinario
    Mabini). Jacinto was present in the so-called Cry of Pugad Lawin (or Cry of Balintawak) with Andrés
    Bonifacio, the Supremo (Supreme President) of the Katipunan, and others of its members which signaled
    the start of the Revolution against the Spanish colonial government in the islands.

    Born in Manila, Emilio Jacinto was proficient both in Spanish and Tagalog. He attended San
    Juan de Letran College, and later transferred to the University of Santo Tomas to study law.
    Manuel Quezon, Sergio Osmeña and Juan Sumulong were classmates. He did not finish college
    and, at the age of 19, joined the secret society called Katipunan. He became the advisor on fiscal
    matters and secretary to Andrés Bonifacio. He was later known as Utak ng Katipunan. He and
    Bonifacio also befriended Apolinario Mabini when they attempted to continue José Rizal's La
    Liga Filipina.

    Jacinto also wrote for the Katipunan newspaper called Kalayaan. He wrote in the newspaper
    under the pen name "Dimasilaw", and used the alias "Pingkian" in the Katipunan. Jacinto was the
    author of the Kartilya ng Katipunan as well.

    After Bonifacio's execution, Jacinto pressed on with the Katipunan's struggle. Like general
    Mariano Álvarez, he refused to join the forces of general Emilio Aguinaldo, the leader of the
    Katipunan's Magdalo faction. Jacinto lived in Laguna and also joined the militia fighting the
    Spaniards. Jacinto contracted malaria and died on April 16, 1899 in Brgy. Alipit, Santa Cruz,
    Laguna.[1] His remains were initially buried in Brgy. San Juan Santa Cruz, Laguna, and were
    transferred to Manila North Cemetery a few years later.

    He was married to Catalina de Jesús, who was pregnant at the time of his death.

    In the 1970s, Jacinto's remains were transferred and enshrined at Himlayang Pilipino Memorial
    Park in Quezon City. At the shrine is a life-size bronze sculpture of a defiant Jacinto riding a
    horse during his days as a revolutionary.[4] Another statue of Jacinto is located in Mehan Garden.
    [5]
    Another monument of Jacinto was unveiled in the town plaza of Magdalena, Laguna on April
    17, 2017.[6]

    Jacinto's likeness used to be featured on the old 20 peso bill that was circulated from 1949 to
    1969, and also on the old 20 centavo coin.
