Comparing the Kartilya ng Katipunan and the Decalogue

Instruction: Prior to the Kartilya ng Katipunan, Andres Bonifacio drafted the “ Decalogue of the
Duties of the Sons of the People “ or the “Decalogue”. It was patterned after the Ten
Commandments of the Roman Catholic Church to serve as the list of duties and responsibilities
to be followed by every member of the Katipunan. However, after seeing the draft of the
Kartilya ng Katipunan by Emlio Jacinto, he was impressed with Jacinto’s style of writing and
decided to adopt it as the official guidebook of the rules and regulations of the organization.
