INTRODUCTION

The first move towards independence began on July 7, 1892 when the
Katipunan was established by Andres Bonifacio. This was a result of the failure of
the Reforms Movement in Spain in which Filipinos attempted to demand reforms
for the Philippines from the Spanish government. Bonifacio saw the futility of the
efforts of the Filipino propagandists and organized and underground movement
against Spain. Below is the edited document of Kartilya ng Katipunan authored by
Emilio Jacinto.

 ABSTRACTION

Emilio Jacinto was born on December 15, 1875 in the district of Trozo in
Tondo, Manila. He was the son of Mariano Jacinto, a bookkeeper, and Josefa Dizon.
Living a life of poverty, Jacinto still managed to get a good education. He finished his
elementary education in a private school then took up his secondary education at the
Colegio de San Juan de Letran. He later studied law at the University of Santo
Tomas where he developed a love of reading and improved his skills in Spanish.
Unfortunately, he had to stop his studies when the Philippine Revolution (Torres,
2018).
In his study of the Katipunan history and its documents, Jim Richardson said
that “the Kartilya is the finest known of all Katipunan texts” and that it is “the only
document of any extent set in print by the Katipunan previous to August 1896 that is
known to be still extant. “The Kartilya was printed as a small pamphlet that was
spread to the associates of the Katipunan. Its term was derived from the Spanish
cartilla which was the primer used for grade school during the Spanish era.

The present relevance of the Kartilya lies in the fact that it recognized not only
the rules for the associates of the association but the principles for the citizens of a
nation once independence had been attained. Through written in the 19 th century,
the Kartilya is significant to the lives of modern Filipinos as it reads like a simple
creed for living in the light of the many charges occurring at present.
