BIASES/INCONSISTENCIES/SHORTCOMINGS
 Biblical origin
 Cevantes
 Benjamin Franklin
 Jose Rizal

embodied Bonifacio's beliefs

official teachings of Katipunan
CONTENT ANALYSIS
COMPARISON WITH SIMILAR SOURCES
 Bonifacio's "Decalogue" resembled the

"Ten Commandments"
 Jacinto's "Kartilya" resembled the
declaration used in Manila's Masonic
Lodges
 Preamble in Kartilya echoed the
purpose of the masonic document
CONTENT ANALYSIS

 Kartilya's division between principles and
teachings broadly parallel the division in
Gran Oriente's manifesto
 Kartilya asks new members to pledge
allegiance to association's objectives
and affirm with signatures, just like in
Masonic document
 The line from Kartilya “A life which is not
dedicated to a great idea is useless”
was likely taken from Rizal
CONTENT ANALYSIS

 In Kartilya, women were regarded as
“helpmate” rather than a “plaything,”
which suggested it took inspiration from
bible
 The adage that "An honorable man's
word is his bond" may be traced back to
Cervantes
 "Time lost is lost forever" was mentioned
in the Kartilya, this idea may have been
borrowed from Benjamin Franklin.
CONTENT ANALYSIS
Relevance and meaning before
 Presented guiding principles and

teachings as aspirations and ethical
values, rather than a direct prescription
 "It was internal, not external,
qualifications that make human
greatness" (philippinemasonry.org, 2006)
CONTENT ANALYSIS
Relevance today
 Importance of core values, mission and

vision statements, and representation is
present until the present time
