KARTILYA NG KATIPUNAN BY EMILIO JACINTO

Background of the Author

Emilio Jacinto y Dizon known as the “Brains of the Katipunan” was born in Trozo, Manila ,on December 15, 1875. He was the only son of Mariano Jacinto and Josefa Dizon. Shortly after he was born, his father passed away and his mother sent him to live with his uncle, Don Jose Dizon, one of the founders of Katipunan.

Very little is known about Emilio’s early childhood up until the point that he went to college. Emilio attended the San Juan de Latran College when he first embarked on his college career. However, he later attended the University of San Tomas in order to study law. Emilio left college before completing his law degree.

In 1894, he joined the Katipunan at the age of nineteen. He had the potential to be a brilliant lawyer like Apolinario Mabini, but his education was cut short when he gave his all to the group's objectives and activities.

When the leader of the Katipunan passed away, Emilio continued to carry out the wishes of Bonifacio. The Katipunan at this time had many factions and not all of them operated in the same way in their efforts to gain their independence from Spain. As with his predecessor before him, Jacinto refused to join with these factions who had different views. This included refusing to join the Magdalo faction of the Katipunan under the leadership of Emilio Aguinaldo.

He revised the Kartilya ng Katipunan which is first written by Andres Bonifacio. He also wrote poetry. Emilio was given a new name when he was part of this group. To the Katipunan, he was often referred to as Utak ng Katipunan. However, he wrote under the pseudonym Dimasailaw when writing for the newspaper and he was more commonly referred to in the group as Pingkian.

His most well-known literary work, the nationalistic A La Patria (To My Fatherland), published on October 8, 1897, was signed Dimasilaw. It was inspired by Rizal’s Mi Ultimo Adios. Jacinto was appointed secretary and reported directly to the Katipunan leader. He rose to the position of this secret society's chief adviser. Emilio also wrote for the society's newspaper, the Kalayaan, in addition to his other responsibilities.

Emilio loved reading. He loved it so much that he even read about the art of battle, military tactics, and how to make war weaponry. At 24, Emilio Jacinto passed away on April 16, 1899. Malaria was the reason for his death. His remains were moved from Mahahay, Laguna to the cemetery at Manila North.

Historical Background of the Document

The document was allegedly titled Katungkulang Gagawin ng mga Z.LI. (Duties of the sons of the People). The document's original version has 14 paragraphs that contain the values that a Katipunero should have. Each paragraph contained a unique discussion of the different aspects of a person's life.

Andres Bonifacio first wrote, “Duties of the Sons of the People” which were strictly followed by the members of the Katipunan. This Decalogue showed the beliefs of Bonifacio on,Bonifacio adopted Emilio Jacinto’s Kartilya ng Katipunan as the official teaching of the Katipunan. The difference between Bonifacio’s Decalogue and Kartilya ng Katipunan is much longer and philosophical, showing concepts of virtuous living as lessons for self-reflection.

Kartilya ng Katipunan was not only a leader for the members of the Katipunan but also embodied moral and nationalistic principles for all Filipinos. In addition to serving as a model for Katipunan members, the Kartilya ng Katipunan served as a symbol of morality and patriotism for all Filipinos. The Kartilya ng Katipunan (English: Primer of the Katipunan) functioned as the manual for prospective organization members, which spelled forth the group's regulations and values. Emilio Jacinto authored the Kartilya's initial publication. Later, Andrés Bonifacio rewrote the Decalogue

Content Presentation & Analysis of the Important Historical Information

Kartilya ng Katipunan is a guidebook for new members or those who want to join Katipunan or KKK. The Katipunan has 3 primary objectives: political, moral, and civic. Political—For the separation of the Philippines from Spain Moral—Good manners, hygiene, good morals, and rejection of religious fanaticism and weakness of character Civic—Self-help, and defense of the poor and the oppressed

Upon joining the Katipunan, members were required to read the Kartilya and adhere to its code of conduct. Newcomers were also asked to swear and pledge their allegiance to the organization’s objections to affirm with their signature that they are becoming members of their own free will. Also, they should promise to help sick comrades and their families and adhere to the Katipunan’s ideals outlined in the Kartilyang Katipunan. Payment of due is also required upon entry (12 ½ cents each month).

The Kartilya ng Katipunan comprises lessons and principles that don’t detail only the vision of Katipunan, but the vision for a fairer and morally sound Filipino nation. These are the 14 Codes of Conduct: The Katipunan Code of Conduct

  1. The life that is not consecrated to a lofty and reasonable purpose is a tree without a shade, if not a poisonous weed.

Kartilya ng Katipunan was written before the August 1896 revolutionary movement of the Katipunan. Emilio Jacinto considered the following factors in writing the document: to make sure that members of the society have the quality of a Katipunero and to make Filipinos understand what a real Katipunero is.

Contribution & Relevance of the document in Understanding the Narrative of Phil. History

The intellectual and moral underpinning of our people, the Filipinos, and the equality of races, origins, education, and religion are the contribution of Katilya ng Katipunan. The fact that they had a purpose and a set of guidelines demonstrated that they were the product of intelligent thought, demonstrating that our heroes are just as intelligent as people with more schooling. The document also demonstrated the dignity and respect that Filipinos have for one another. They bravely fought for our freedom.

Additionally, women and children should be treated with great respect and care and be given the same human rights as everyone else. These literary masterpieces represent Philippine history and reflect our country's essential values and traditions.

Identify Argument, Biases & Claims based on Evidence; Compare Points of View

ARGUMENT The KKK and The Kartilya ng Katipunan are unlike the other organizations differs, which is because it is the only rebellion that sees in one man’s eye total separation from the Spanish Government.

BIASES & CLAIMS The Kartilya is prejudiced against both Emilio Jacinto, the writer of the kartilya and commander of the Katipunan in Northern Luzon, and Andres Bonifacio the head of the katipuneros. Also, the documents that are written are biased from the point of view of Antonio Pigafetta, a scholar, who is one of the crew members of Ferdinand Magellan. Magellan traveled around the world because of the spices but the truth is he was subsidized by the King of Spain because of the gold that can be found in Butuan, Philippines.
