Emilio Jacinto y Dizon was born on December 15, 1875, at Tondo, Manila. He
was known as a Filipino General during the Philippine Revolution. At the age of 19,
he did not continue his college degree as a lawyer because he joined the secret
society called Katipunan. Emilio is very determined regarding the independence of
the Philippines. Therefore, he wrote textbooks that signaled the start of the
Revolution against the Spanish colonial government. His written works are Katipunan
nang Manga (Kartilya), Gising na mga Tagalog!!, Liwanag at Dilim, A la Patria, and
sa Bayang Tinubuan. He died because of malaria on April 16, 1899, in Laguna.
Emilio Jacinto and his writings were about how a Filipino should live by having
equal rights, justice, true piety, exemplary leadership, and love for fellowmen.
Moreover, he was known as a philosopher, an intellect, and a poet. Emilio Jacinto led
the Katipunans to attain freedom and equality where they have two commandments:
the love for the country and the love for the fellowman. Emilio Jacinto encourages
everyone, despite the differences, they should help each other with compassion. In
memory of Emilio Jacinto, he left a set of guiding principles for a free society reflected
in his works so that independent Filipinos will not succumb to darkness but will
continue to strive for enlightenment for all generations to come.

The NHCP's Emilio Jacinto: Utak ng Katipunan Documentary Film narrates all
the significant events and details in Emilio Jacinto's life, from his early years in the
Katipunan until his unfortunate death. At a very young age, he joined the Katipunan
movement and doubtlessly fought for the rights and freedom spared from the
Philippines' citizens. He courageously faced and sacrificed all he had to support the
movement; with his attitude and passion, he won the heart of the Katipuneros and
Andres Bonifacio, which paved the way for him to be the leader shortly after Bonifacio
died. His writings such as Primer of the Katipunan, A La Patria, and the Lightness
and Darkness firmly offered guiding principles and values on how every Filipino must
live. Despite the adverse events in the Katipunan, losing Andres Bonifacio, the chaos
in the Katipunan, and his very close death in their encounter with the civil guards, he
stood up honed heroes in the organization even though they are much older than he
is. The life of Emilio Jacinto shows that age is just a number, that we can do
everything for as long as we believe in ourselves.
Kartilya ng Katipunan made everyone, especially Filipinos, aware that the
Katipunan was a revolutionary Philippine society whose primary goal was to win
independence from Spain. This documentary demonstrates that there were
intellectual and moral revolutionaries working for the Philippines' independence.
Without them, we will not be able to inherit the bravery and courage of being real
Filipinos. Emilio Jacinto emphasizes the self-reflection and qualities that every
Katipuneros must embody. This document informs us that we are on the right track.
Living on the right track has an impact on others through serving as a role model.

Emilio Jacinto's Kartilya ng Katipunan was vital not only to the Katipuneros but
to all of the Filipinos. Especially at the time when the powerful forces of our foes
controlled our own country. Emilio Jacinto made rules and carried out his duties as a
leader, and this made the Filipinos realize that the only way to rescue the country and
be a better citizen is to be disciplined and follow orders. That is why our group is
amazed at how a single commander could change his people's attitudes.
