Background of the Period:

- The revolutionary society or Samahang Kataas-taasan Kagalang

galangang, Katipunan ng mga Anak ng Bayan (KKK) was established on
July 07, 1892 by the anti-Spanish Filipino at Tondo, Manila in response
to the news of Rizal's exilement. And result of the failure of the reform
movement in Spain, in which Filipinos attempted to demand reforms
for the Philippines from the Spanish Government. The Katipunan was
formally founded on the year 1892 by Andres Bonifacio, Teodoro Plata,
Losido Diwa. Deodato Arellano, Valentine Diaz and others, in response
to the news of Rizal's deputation. During that time, the aim of the
Kartilya ng Katipunan is to fight for the Philippine independence from
Spain and to unite the Filipinos into one nation.
- During this period the reform movement or propaganda movemen had
an impact to build a new organization which is the Katipunan. The
reforms are also have a huge impact on Filipinos, by inspiring them
throughout their works and most of them had been joined the said
Katipunan. In 1896 there is what we called "Duties of the sons of the
Filipino" that was written by Andres Bonifacio that strictly followed by
the members of organization. This dialogue embodied that Bonifacio's
belief. Bonifacio would then later adopt Jacinto's Kartilya ng Katipunan
as the official teaching of the Katipunan.

Ang Kartilya ng Katipunan

- was the moral and political guidebook of the Katipunan, the secret
revolutionary society that fought for Philippine independence from
Spanish rule. The Kartilya consists of a set of principles and values that
guided the members of the Katipunan in their conduct and
 revolutionary struggle. It emphasized virtues such as honor, equality,
respect for others, and the importance of education and self-
improvement.

Principles of the Kartilya ng Katipunan

- 1. Ang kabuhayang hindi ginugugol sa isang malaki at banal na

kadahilanan ay kahoy na walang lilim, kundi damong makamandag
- 2. Ang gawang magaling na nagbubuhat sa pagpipita sa sarili, at hindi
sa talagang nasang gumawa ng kagalingan, ay di kabaitan.
- 3. Ang tunay na kabanalan ay ang pagkakawang gawa, ang pagibig sa
kapua at ang isukat ang bawat kilos, gawa’t pangungusap sa talagang
Katuiran
- .4. 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.
- 5. Ang may mataas na kalooban inuuna ang puri sa pagpipita sa sarili;
ang may hamak na kalooban inuuna ang pagpipita sa sarili sa puri.
- 6. Sa taong may hiya, salita’y panunumpa.
- 7. Huag mong sasayangin ang panahun; ang yamang nawala’y
magyayaring magbalik; nguni’t panahong nagdaan na’y di na muli
pang magdadaan. Value of time
- 8. Ipagtanggol mo ang inaapi, at kabakahin ang umaapi.
- 9. Ang taong matalino’y ang may pagiingat sa bawat sasabihin, at
matutong ipaglihim ang dapat ipaglihim.
- 10. 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.
- 11. 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.
- 12. Ang di mo ibig na gawin sa asawa mo, anak at kapatid, ay huag
mong gagawin sa asawa, anak, at kapatid ng iba.
- 13. 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.
- 14. 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.

• The Kartilya ng Katipunan functioned as a guide or handbook for incoming

members of the organization. The primer also elucidated the group's
regulations and beliefs. It called upon Filipinos to rise against Spanish
colonial rule, uphold principles of freedom and equality, and work together
as a united front to achieve their shared goal of independence.

• The Kartilya consists 14 moral and ethical values that directly emphasized
this valuable concepts; Freedom. Brotherhood. Righteousness, Excellence,
Enlightenment. Liberty and Equality. There are two major classifications of
rules and values stated inside the Kartilya. The first group contains the rules
that will make the member upright individual and the second group contains
the rules that will guide the way he traits his fellow men. In a deeper
perception and comprehension about the content and provisions of the
Kartilya, it is served as a direct response to certain value system that has
been found noticeably unfair during their recent times.

• The Kartilya encompasses its "Instructive traits" as member's development

as individuals in their own rights has been validated too. The Kartilya of
Katipunan pertains to focus of "what Katipuneros should do" rather than
stating Do's and Dont's of a certain individual. The analyzation of the values
of the values uphold in the document as consistent with the burgeoning
rational and liberal in the eighteen and nineteenth century.
