Shortcomings or Inconsistencies - Decalogue of Katipunan

The document discusses three works of literature from Philippine history that were created during the same time period to explain events involving the Spanish and the Katipunan movement. The Decalogue of Katipunan contained typographical errors and lacked clear evidence for some claims. Emilio Jacinto's speech was inconsistent in that it was signed with a different alias than usual.

In “Bonifacio’s Decalogue of Katipunan and Emilio Jacinto, "Katipunan nang manga A.

N. B. - Sa may nasang makisanib sa katipunang ito" (The "Kartilya") and Emilio Jacinto’s

Speech,” despite serving various purposes, each of the three works of literature was created at the

same time in history and was used to explain events including what the Spanish did to the

Filipinos and what the Katipunan did to advance equality and freedom in our nation.

The Decalogue of katipunan “Kasaysayan; Pinag-kasundoan; Manga dakuilang kautusan”

tended to have typographical errors. Errors like typing K x x x or Kat x x x instead of katipunan, and

adding degree sign (° ) in other numbers. In addition, some of the information were not stated

clearly which may leave confusion to some readers, especially for young ones. Moreover, some

of the contents of this document failed to find concrete evidence to support the claims or to clear

up the history of what really happened, particularly on where the Katipunan was founded and

information regarding the "Triangles.” In other words, some dates and addresses were

inconsistent and different from what was written by others, which may leave confusion for the

readers.

Moreover, in Emilio Jacinto’s speech, inconsistencies were found. It is known that he

always used his usual alias “Pingkian.” However, for some unknown reason, in his handwritten

speech, he signed it with “J. Aging” rather with his usual alias. Furthermore, this stirring rallying

call to the patriotic cause has the rhythm of oratory, and so far as is known it was never

published.
