    The Kartilya ng Katipunan was a document written in 1896 by Emilio Jacinto that outlined the rules and regulations to guide members of the Katipunan organization. At only 19 years old, Jacinto drafted the Kartilya after Andres Bonifacio recognized the superiority of Jacinto's writing over his own draft. The 14 rules in the Kartilya emphasized values like equality, charity, honor, justice and freedom that were influenced by Enlightenment thinking and the liberal ideals emerging in the 18th and 19th centuries. The Kartilya served as an alternative to the unjust hierarchy and oppression of the Spanish colonial regime.

    Bonifacio was drafting the said document, Emilio Jacinto was writing one as
    well. By the time that Bonifacio was about to consult Jacinto for comments on HISTORICAL
    his draft, the latter presented his work to the Supremo. After seeing he draft of
    the Kartilya ng Katipunan by Emilio Jacinto, Bonifacio was impressed with BACKGROUND OF
    Jacinto's style of writing and decided to adopt the Kartilya as the guidebook for
    the rules and regulations of the Katipunan.
    THE KARTILYA
     Aside from the maltreatment experienced by Filipinos from the Spaniards, the
    following are the other factors that were influential in the forming of the
    Katipunan and that of the Kartilya:

    1. The Age of Enlightenment

    2. The French Revolution

    3. Masonry

    4. Propaganda

    5. La Liga Filipina
    The KKK and the “Kartilya ng Katipunan”

    The Kataastaasan,Kagalanggalangang Katipunan ng mga Anak ng Bayan(KKK) or Katipunan


    is arguably the most important organization formed in the Philippine history. While anti-colonial
    movements, efforts, and organizations had already been established centuries prior to the foundation
    of the Katipunán, it was only this organization that envisioned （ 1) a united Filipino nation that
    would revolt against the Spaniards for (2) the total independence of the country from Spain.
    Previous armed revolts had already occurred before the foundation of the Katipunan, but none of
    them envisioned a unified Filipino nation revolting against the colonizers. For example, Diego
    Silang was known as an Ilocano who took up his arms and led one of the longest running revolts in
    the country. Silang, however, was mainly concerned about his locality and referred to himself as El
    Rey de Ilocos(The King of Ilocos). The imagination of the nation was largely absent in the
    aspirations of the local revolts before Katipunan. On the other hand, the propaganda movements led
    by the ilustrados like Marcelo H.del Pilar, Graciano López Jaena, and Jose Rizal did not envision a
    total separation of the Philippines from Spain, but only demanded equal rights, representation, and
    protection from the abuses of the friars.
    In the conduct of their struggle, Katipunan created a complex structure and a defined
    value system that would guide the organization as a collective aspiring for a single goal.
    One of the most important Katipunan documents was the Kartilya ng Katipunan. The
    original title of the document was ＂ Manga (sic) Aral Nang (sic) Katipunan ng mga
    A.N.B. or “Lessons of the Organization of the Sons of Country.” The document was
    written by Emilio Jacinto in the 1896. Jacinto was only 19 years old when he joined the
    movement. He was a law student at the Universidad de Santo Tomas. Despite his youth,
    Bonifacio recognized the value and intellect of Jacinto that upon seeing that Jacinto's
    Kartilya was much better than the Decalogue he wrote, he willingly favored that the
    Kartilya be distributed to their fellow Katipuneros. Jacinto became the secretary of the
    organization and took charge of the short-lived printing press of the Katipunan. On 15
    April 1897 Bonifacio appointed Jacinto as a commander of the Katipunan in Northern
    Luzon. Jacinto was 22 years old. He died of Malaria at a young age of 23 in the town of
    Magdalena, Laguna.
    The Kartilya can be treated as the Katipunan's code of
    conduct. It contains fourteen rules that instruct the way a
    Katipunero should behave, and which specific values should
    he uphold. Generally, the rules stated 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.
    KARTILYA NG KATIPUNAN
    – 1. Life which is not consecrated to a lofty and sacred cause is like a tree without a shadow, if not a poisonous weed.
    – 2. To do good for personal gain and not for its own sake is not virtue.
    – 3. 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 reasonable.
    – 4. 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.
    – 5. The honorable man prefers honor to personal gain; the scoundrel, gain to honor.
    – 6. To the honorable man, his word is sacred.
    – 7. Do not waste thy time: wealth can be recovered but not time lost.
    – 8. Defend the oppressed and fight the oppressor before the law or in the field.
    – 9. The prudent man is sparing in words and faithful in keeping secrets.
    – 10. On the thorny path of life, man is the guide of woman and the children, and if the guide leads to the precipice, those
    whom he guides will also go there
    KARTILYA NG KATIPUNAN
    – 11. 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.
    – 12. 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.
    – 13. 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.
    – 14. 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 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.
    Analysis of the “Kartilya ng Katipunan

    Similar to what we have done to the accounts of Pigafetta, this primary source
    also needs to be analyzed in terms of content and context. As a document written for a
    fraternity whose main purpose is to overthrow a colonial regime, we can explain the
    content and provisions of the Kartilya as a reaction and response to certain value
    systems that they found despicable in the present state of things that they struggled
    against with. For example, the fourth and the thirteenth rules in the Kartilya are an
    invocation of the inherent equality between and among men regardless of race,
    occupation or status. In the context of the Spanish colonial era where the indios were
    treated as the inferior of the white Europeans, the Katipunan saw to it that the
    alternative order that they wished to promulgate through their revolution necessarily
    destroyed this kind of unjust hierarchy.
    Moreover, one can analyze the values upheld in the document as consistent with the
    burgeoning rational and liberal ideals in the eighteenth and nineteenth century. Equality, tolerance,
    freedom, and liberty were values that first emerged in the eighteenth century French Revolution, which
    spread throughout Europe and reached the educated class of the colonies. Jacinto, an ilustrado himself,
    certainly got an understanding of these values. Aside from the liberal values that can be dissected in
    the document, we can also decipher certain Victorian and chivalrous values in the text. For example,
    various provisions in the Kartilya repeatedly emphasized the importance of honor in words and in
    action. The teaching of the Katipunan on how women should be treated with honor and respect, while
    positive in many respects and certainly a significant stride from the practice of raping and physically
    abusing women, can still be telling of the Katipunan's secondary regard for women in relation to men.
    For example, in the tenth rule, the document specifically stated that men should be the guide of women
    and children, and that he should set a good example, otherwise the women and the children would be
    guided in the path of evil. Nevertheless, the same document stated that women should be treated as
    companions by men and not as playthings that can be exploited for their pleasure.
    In the contemporary eyes, the Katipunan can be criticized because
    of these provisions. However, one must not forget the context where the
    organization was born. Not even in Europe or in the whole of the West at
    that juncture recognized the problem of gender inequality. Indeed, it can
    be argued that Katipunan's recognition of women as important partners
    in the struggle, as reflected not just in Kartilya but also in the
    organizational structure of the fraternity where a women's unit was
    established, is an endeavor advanced for its time. Aside from Rizal's
    known Letter to the Women of Malolos, no same effort by the supposed
    cosmopolitan Propaganda Movement was achieved until the movement's
    eventual disintegration in the latter part of the 1890s.
    Aside from this,the Kartilya was instructive not just of the
    Katipunan's conduct toward other people, but also for the members'
    development as individuals in their own rights. Generally speaking, the
    rules in the Kartilya can be classified as either directed to how one
    should treat his neighbor or to how one should develop and conduct
    one's self. Both are essential to the success and fulfillment of the
    Katipunan's ideals. For example, the Kartilya's teachings on honoring
    one's word and not wasting time are teachings directed toward self-
    development, while the rules on treating the neighbor's wife, children,
    and brothers the way that you want yours to be treated is an instruction
    on how Katipuneros should treat and regard their neighbors.
    All in all, proper reading of the Kartilya will reveal
    a more thorough understanding of the Katipunan and
    the significant role that it played in the revolution and in
    the unfolding of the Philippine history, as we know it.
    The End.
