History

Emilio Jacinto was a great proof of “Kabataan ang Pag-asa ng Bayan” for the things he’s accomplished at
a young age for our beloved country and countrymen. The Kartilla ng Katipunan which Emilio Jacinto
wrote contained the policies and oaths that needs to be followed if you were to join the Katipuneros.
Those oaths emphasize on justice, unselfishness, unity, brotherhood, willingness, and patriotism all for
the good of our beloved country. It also talks about individuals are to be punished accordingly upon
breaking the rules. The teachings of the Katipunan contained morality, virtues, and direction in order to
guide our Katipuneros, Filipinos today should depict those traits in the teachings of the Katipunan. This
document is of great importance as it should be a guide for us Filipinos to become united and to
eliminate corruption, the government should portray those oaths made by the Katipunan.

The Kartilla ng Katipunan made us modern day Filipinos aware of the fact that Filipinos back in the day
we’re united, treated each other equally like brothers and unselfish for the sake of our country’s
independence. The document showed us the importance of morality of our Katipuneros in order to
achieve the independence we cherish today.
