❖ Emilio Jacinto was the author of “Kartilya ng
Katipunan” ethics code or the guidebook for
members of the Katipunan in fighting the Spanish
colonizers that also contained the constitution and
by–laws of the Katipunan.
❖It consist of fourteen “teachings” which the
members of the Katipunan were expected to
follow.
I.
Ang kabuhayang hindi ginugugol sa isang malaki at banal
na kadahilanan ay kahoy na walang lilim, kundi damong
makamandag.

The life that is not consecrated to a lofty and reasonable


purpose is a tree without a shade, if not a poisonous
weed.
II.
Ang gawang magaling na nagbubuhat sa pagpipita sa
sarili, at hindi sa talagang nasang gumawa ng kagalingan,
ay di kabaitan.

To do good for personal gain and not for its own sake is
not virtue.
III.
Ang tunay na kabanalan ay ang pagkakawang gawa, ang
pagibig sa kapua at ang isukat ang bawat kilos, gawa’t
pangungusap sa talagang Katuiran.

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.
IV.
Maitim man at maputi ang kulay ng balat, lahat ng tao’y
magkakapantay; mangyayaring ang isa’y higtan sa dunong, sa
yaman, sa ganda…; ngunit di mahihigtan sa pagkatao.

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.
V.
Ang may mataas na kalooban inuuna ang puri sa
pagpipita sa sarili; ang may hamak na kalooban inuuna
ang pagpipita sa sarili sa puri.

The honorable man prefers honor to personal gain; the


scoundrel, gain to honor.
VI.
Sa taong may hiya, salita’y panunumpa.

To the honorable man, his word is sacred.


VII.
Huwag mong sasayangin ang panahun; ang yamang
nawala’y magyayaring magbalik; nguni’t panahong
nagdaan na’y di na muli pang magdadaan.

Do not waste thy time: wealth can be recovered but not


time lost.(Value of time.)
VIII.
Ipagtanggol mo ang inaapi, at kabakahin ang umaapi.

Defend the oppressed and fight the oppressor before


the law or in the field.
IX.
Ang taong matalino’y ang may pagiingat sa bawat sasabihin,
at matutong ipaglihim ang dapat ipaglihim.

The prudent man is sparing in words and faithful in keeping


secrets.
X.
Sa daang matinik ng kabuhayan, lalaki ay siyang patnugot ng
asawa’t mga anak; kung ang umaakay ay tungo sa sama, ang
patutunguhan ng iaakay ay kasamaan din.

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.
XI.
Ang babai ay huag mong tignang isang bagay na
libangan lamang, kundi isang katuang at karamay sa
mga kahirapan nitong kabuhayan; gamitan mo ng buong
pagpipitagan ang kaniyang kahinaan, at alalahanin ang
inang pinagbuhata’t nagiwi sa iyong kasangulan.
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.
XII.
Ang di mo ibig na gawin sa asawa mo, anak at kapatid, ay
huag mong gagawin sa asawa, anak, at kapatid ng iba.

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.
XIII.
Ang kamahalan ng tao’y wala sa pagkahari, wala sa tangus ng ilong
at puti ng mukha, wala sa pagkaparing kahalili ng Dios wala sa
mataas na kalagayan sa balat ng lupa; wagas at tunay na mahal na
tao, kahit laking gubat at walang nababatid kundi ang sariling wika,
yaong may magandang asal, may isang pangungusap, may dangal at
puri; yaong di napaaapi’t di nakikiapi; yaong marunong
magdamdam at marunong lumingap sa bayang tinubuan.
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.
XIV.
Paglaganap ng mga aral na ito at maningning na sumikat ang araw
ng mahal na Kalayaan dito sa kaabaabang Sangkalupuan, at
sabugan ng matamis niyang liwanag ang nangagkaisang
magkalahi’t magkakapatid ng ligaya ng walang katapusan, ang mga
ginugol na buhay, pagud, at mga tiniis na kahirapa’y labis nang
natumbasan. Kung lahat ng ito’y mataruk na ng nagiibig pumasuk at
inaakala niyang matutupad ang mga tutungkulin, maitatala ang
kaniyang ninanasa sa kasunod nito.
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 (the Katipunan) 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.
❖ Emilio was present in the Cry of Pugad Lawin (Cry of
Balintawak) with Andres Bonifacio and others of Katipunan’s
members,
❖ which signaled the start of the revolution against the Spanish
colonial government in the Philippines.
❖ During the revolution, Andres Bonifacio and Emilio Jacinto led
the siege of Polvorin, San Juan Del Monte, also known as the
Battle of Pinaglabanan.
❖ Jacinto planned and disguised himself to help Dr. Jose Rizal
escape, which later declined.
❖ Supremo Andres Bonifacio, at that time, is the president of
the Haring Bayan (Great nation), named Jacinto as the
commander of the Revolution’s Northern Forces.
❖ After Bonifacio's execution, Jacinto lived in Laguna and
joined the militia fighting the Spaniards.
❖ Emilio continued to do the wishes of Bonifacio.

❖ He refused to join the forces of General Emilio Aguinaldo,


a leader of the Katipunan's Magdalo faction and by then
the President of the Revolutionary Government. Because
they had different views.
❖ On October 8, 1897, Jacinto wrote his masterpiece “A La
Patria” (To My Fatherland) in Sta. Cruz, Laguna. The poem
was inspired by Jose Rizal's “Mi Ultimo Adios”.

❖ Jacinto's poem nevertheless overflows with patriotic


sincerity and he is said to equal Rizal in nobility and loftiness
of thought.
❖ In 1898, while leading his troops against the Spaniards in
the Battle of Maimpis in Magdalena, Laguna, Jacinto was
captured in one of their encounters with the Spaniards.
❖ He was taken to a church and was tortured there.
❖ He was saved by an identity pass which belonged to
another man identifying him as a Spanish spy.
❖ His wounds were treated and he was released.
❖ After escaping from the hands of his enemies, Jacinto
became a meat vendor.

❖ He contracted malaria and died in Majayjay, Laguna.

❖ He died on April 16, 1899 at the age of 23.


Emilio Jacinto is truly a remarkable man. His contribution to the Philippines will always be
remembered. He is someone who should be looked up to by the young generation of today in
terms of bravery and patriotism.
