HULING ARAW NG AKING PAGKA-
CAPITAN MUNICIPAL
- Inilarawan ni Emilio Aguinaldo ang byahe
papuntang Cavite El Viejo iniwan ang kausap at
nagmadaling lumulan ng isang bangka. Habang
nagmamadali ay parang laong humihina ang takbo
ng bangka at lalong naiinip. Minit ang araw at
walng kahangin hangin inabot ng mahigit isang oras
ang byahe.Tuwang tuwa ang mga bangkero ng
inabutan ng limang piso sa halip n aisang salapi.
Nagbayd ng mahal dahil di nila natanto ang
kahalagahan ng lakad. Mag-aalas dos ng hapon ng
siya ay lumunsad sa bangka. Nagtuloy sa kumbento
ilang katok, nilaksan ang yabg, pumunta pa sa
silong ng kumbento pero walang sumasagot, Pero
nung palabas na ng silong ang siyang pagdungaw
ng Kura. Binalitang walng nangyari at bigo ang
lakad. Kung sanay nabigyan ng rekomendasyon ay
napagkatiwalaan sana siya ng sampung
baril.Napagpasyahan na din ni Excelentisimo
Capitan General de Guerra saw along lalawigan at
kadamay ang Cavite. Umuwi ng bahay at
nagmadaling bumalik sa Tribunal. Ibinalita ang
pagkabigo ng lakad sa Kabite ay declarado na ang
estado de Guerra ngunit ang dalwang Consejal. G.
Candido Tria Tirona at Santiago Dano ay
nagsabing, tayo’y magbangon na agad. Nasabihan
na ang mga kapatid sa Katipunan na ilabas na ang
mga balaraw at humanda ng lahat sa pagbababngon
at kailangan ng putulin ang tatlong Guardia Civil na
pumapatrolya dito sa atin. Kinontra ito ni Emilio na
dapat matahimik na gawan ng baril pra hindi
magkagulo.Ibinalita na wala ng oras dahil
nagbangon na at sinalakay na ang ibang mga
tribunal. Nagulat si Emilio Aguinaldo at
nagdesisyong sumunod pero huwag patayin ang
Guardia civil kung hindi ay paki usapan na lamang
pagkat sila ay kadugo din natin. Kinausap ang 2
Guardia Civil pro mukhang yung isa ay lalaban.
Pinakausapan ulit pero pinapawian ang baril pero
ayaw kaya napilitan naglaban hanggang maagaw
ang baril. Pagkatapos ay iniutos na maghubad ng
uniporme. Hinarap naman yung isamg malaking
Guardia Civil na nakikipagbuno kay Consejal
Tirona, hanggang nabitawan ang baril. Nakisali na
din ang mga Cuadrillero na inawat ni Emilio pero
nasaksak yung Guardia Civil, buti na lamang at
hindi mamamatay at ipinatawag ang medikilyo ng
bayan na si Tandang Julian. Sa pag-aagawan ay
nagdulot ng malaking gulo. Kalambugan at
pagsasara ng pinto at bintana ng mga bahay.
Pagdaluhong at pagtakbo ng mga tao pero
masayang nagbalikan nang malamang may
pagbabagong mangyayari. Ang Kura ay tumakas
Ang plano: Hintayin ang pagpasok ng kalaban sa
Binakayan, dahil pag lulusob sila sa Polvorin, kun
saan patungo ang Kura ay hindi sila matatalo lalo
na at malapit sa Kutang Artillera ng Arsenal ng
Kabite. Kinahating gabihan, dumating na ang tropa
galling Imus na nabigo din sa kanilang pagsalaky.
Iniuwi na ang kanyang tropa sa bayanan ng Cavite
el Viejo at doon sa kumbento nagtuloy. Sa kaba
niya, may kasama nag guni guni na
sumasalagimsim na ang buhay hanggang 3 araw,
pagkatapos 3 linggo. At ng hindi pa siya napapatay
ng guni guni, sumaloob naman na aabutin ng 3
buwan hanggang unti unti Nawala ang gayong
guniguni.

By Emilio Jacinto
The Kartilya ng Katipunan is all about the
fourteen lessons/rules in life that serves as guide for
Katipuneros in living with moral and good values
and also a code of conduct that shows how must be
a true Filipino will act and be responsible for their
words and actions.
About the Author
Emilio Jacinto y Dizon – was a Filipino
revolutionary hero and a prominent figure in the
Philippine revolution against Spanish colonial rule.
- Born on December 15, 1875, in Trozo
Manila.
- Died on April 16, 1899, during the
Philippine-American War.
- His parents were Mariano Jacinto – Farmer
and Josefa Dizon-Jacinto – a school teacher.
- Emilio is the 5th child of 6 siblings.
- Jacinto is known as the “ Brain of
Katipunan”.
- He joined the revolutionary secret society
known as the KKK at the age of 19.
- He served as the advisor on fiscal matters
and a secretary to Andres Bonifacio- the
leader of Katipunan.
- He also revised the revolutionary
newspapers of Katipunan called “Kalayaan”
under the pseudonym “Dimasilaw” and the
used moniker “Pingkian” in the secret
society.
- He also authored the“Kartilya ng
Katipunan” which served as the code of
conduct for the members of Katipunan.
The Kartilya ng Katipunan’s fourteen (14) Set of
Rules/Lessons
1st. Ang kabuhayang hindi ginugugol sa isang
malaki at banal na kadahilanan ay kahoy na walang
lilim, kun di damong makamandang.
- The First Code of Conduct simply tells us that we
must have a purpose-driven life. We must know
how to set our goals and find meaning in our lives,
because without knowing our purpose, we will
suffer from unwanted situations.
2nd Ang gawang magaling na nagbubuhat sa
pagpipita sa sarili, at hindi talagang nasang gumawa
ng kagalingan, ay di kabaitan.
- This means that we must not be selfish. We must
do good deeds not to earn praise but to show them
with our whole hearts, because a deed done only for
fame is not worthy of being called good.
3rd Ang tunay na kabanalan ay ang pagkakawang
gawa, ang pagibig sa kapwa at ang isukat ang bawat
kilos, gawa’t pangungusap sa talagang katuiran.
- It gives us the real definition of a true act of
kindness: being kind is simply seen in the service
and love one gives to his or her fellowmen without
asking anything in return.
4th 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.
- The 4th rule highlights equality. We are all born to
be equal, no matter what race, status, or educational
background we have. Our society may have divided
us into groups, but we must all understand that no
one is superior to anyone else.
5th Ang may mataas na kalooban, inuuna ang puri sa
pagpipita sa sarili; ang may hamak na kalooban,
inuuna ang pagpipita sa sarili sa puri.
- A good person must understand that honoring
oneself also means he or she values honor rather
than personal interest. True honor means having a
high moral standard behavior
6th Sa taong may hiya, salita’y panunumpa.
- Rule 6 tells us that we must be a man of our own
words. Whatever is said must be done. We must do
things that we promised because we can never take
back what we have said, so “walk the talk “.

7th Huwag mong sayangin ang panahun: ang
yamang nawala’y mangyayaring magbalik; ngunit
panahung nagdaan na’y di na muli pang
magdadaan.
- Everyone must understand the importance of time.
We usually focus ourselves on worrying about
different material things. This code of conduct tells
us to treasure time because we can never take it
back. At the end, we might end up regretting the
things we weren’t able to do. We have make use of
our time wisely.
8th Ipagtanggol mo ang inaapi; kabakahin ang
umaapi.
- We don’t have the same strengths, but we can help
one another. We must choose to fight for what is
right: fight with the weak people who need your
help and comfort, and fight those people who keep
on putting others down by oppressing them.
9th Ang taong matalino’y ang may pagiingat sa
bawat sasabihin, at matutong ipaglihim ang dapat
ipaglihim.
- This highlights the importance of trust and
confidentiality. A wise man is a man who thinks of
what he says and keeps what is needed to be kept.
10th Sa daang matinik ng kabuhayan, lalaki ay
siyang patugot ng asawa’t mga anak: kung ang
umaakay ay tungo sa sama, ang pagtutunguhan ng
inaakay ay kasamaan din.
- All of us need to be models for everyone, because
whatever they see in us will also be followed by the
people who see us. And a true man leads his family
down the right path by showing them that he is
righteous.
th
11 Ang babai ay huwag mong tignang isang bagay
na libangan lamang, kun di isang katuang at
karamay sa mga kahirapan nitong kabuhayan;
gamitan mo nag boong pagpipitagan ang kaniyang
kahinaan, at alalahanin ang inang pinagbuhatan at
nagiwi sa iyong kasanggulan.
- This principle is about women. Every woman
deserves to be respected, and no man shall see them
as an object or a past time. Just like they always
say, a man who doesn’t respect a woman does not
respect his mother, who gave him birth. Girls
deserve to be loved with full respect and care.
12th Ang di mo ibig na gawin sa asawa mo, anak at
kapatid, ay huag mong gagawin sa asawa, anak at
kapatid ng iba.
- Every action that any man takes is important.
Every action has its own consequences. We must
not do bad things against other people if we don’t
want other people to do bad things against us.
13th 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 kun
di ang sariling wika, yaon may magandang asal,
may isang pangungusap, may dangal at puri; yaon
di nagpapaapi’t di nakikiapi; yaong marunong
magdamdam at marunong lumingap sa bayang
tinubuan.
- The thirteenth principle is about having the right
character and good values. A man’s life is not
measured by his status in life or the things that he
possesses. Instead, it is in his character and his love
for the native land.
14th Paglagalap ng mga aral na itoat maningning na
sumikat ang araw ng mahal na Kalayaan dito sa
kaabaabang Sangkapuluan, at sabugan ng matamis
niyang liwanag ang nangagkaisang magkakalahi’t
magkakapatid na ligayang walang katapusan, ang
mga ginugol na buhay, pagud, at mga tiniis na
kahirapa’y labis nang natumbasan.
- The last code of conduct shows the desire of
Emilio Aguinaldo.
- When these rules of conduct shall be
known to all, the longed-for sun of Liberty shall rise
brilliant over this most unhappy portion of the globe
and its rays shall diffuse everlasting joy among the
confederated brethren of the same rays, the lives of
those who have gone before, the fatigues and the
well-paid sufferings will remain. If he who desires
to enter (the Katipunan) has informed himself of all
this and believes he will be able to perform what
will be his duties, he may fill out the application for
admission.
Declaration of Philippine Independence
(Proclamation)
In the town of Cavite-Viejo, Province of
Cavite, this 12th day of June 1898: BEFORE ME,
Ambrosio Rianzares Bautista, War Counsellor and
Special Delegate designated to proclaim and
solemnize this Declaration of Independence by the
Dictatorial Government of the Philippines, pursuant
to, and by the virtue of a Decree issued by the
Egregious Dictator Don Emilio Aguinaldo y Famy.
The undersigned assemblage of military
chiefs and others of the army who could not attend,
as well as the representative of the various towns.
Taking into account the fact that the people
of this country are already tired of bearing the
ominous joke of Spanish domination.
Because of arbitrary arrests and abuses of
the Civil Guards who cause deaths in connivance
with and even under the express orders of their
superior officers who at times would order the
shooting of those placed under arrest under the
pretext that they attempted to escape in violation of
known Rules and Regulations, which abuses were
left unpunished, and because of unjust deportations
of illustrious Filipinos, especially those decreed by
General Blanco at the instigation of the Archbishop
and the friars interested in keeping them in
ignorance for egoistic and selfish ends, which
deportations were carried out through processes
more execrable than those of the Inquisition which
every civilized nation repudiates as a trial without
hearing.
Had resolved to start a revolution in August
1896 in order to regain the independence and
sovereignty of which the people had been deprived
by Spain through Governor Miguel Lopez de
Legazpi who, continuing the course followed by his
predecessor Ferdinand Magellan who landed on the
shore of Cebu and occupied said Island by means of
a Pact of Friendship with Chief Tupas, although he
was killed in battle that took place in said shores to
which battle he was provoked by Chief Kalipulako
(now known as Lapu-Lapu) of Mactan who
suspected his evil designs, landed on the Island of
Bohol by entering also into a Blood Compact with
its Chief Sikatuna, with the purpose of later taking
by force he Island of Cebu, and because his
successor Tupas did not allow him to occupy it, he
went to Manila, the capital, winning likewise the
friendship of its Chiefs Soliman and Lakandula,
later taking possession of the city and the whole
Archipelago in the name of Spain by virtue of an
order of King Philip II, and with these historical
precedents and because in international law the
prescription established by law to legalize the
vicious acquisition of private property is not
recognized, the legitimacy of such revolution
cannot be put in doubt which was calmed but not
completely stifled by the pacification proposed by
Don Pedro A. Paterno with Don Emilio Aguinaldo
as President of the Republic established in Biak-na-
bato and accepted by Governor-General Don
Fernando Primo de Rivera under terms, both written
and oral, among them being a general amnesty for
all deported and convicted persons; that by reason
of the non-fulfillment of some of the terms, after the
destruction of the Spanish Squadron by the North
American Navy, and bombardment of the plaza of
Cavite, Don Emilio Aguinaldo returned in order to
initiate a new revolution and no sooner had he given
the order to rise on the 31st of last month when
several towns anticipating the revolution, rose in
revolt on the 28th, such that a Spanish contingent of
178 men, between Imus and Cavite-Viejo, under the
command of a major of the Marine Infantry
capitulated, the revolutionary movement spreading
like wild fire to other towns of Cavite and the other
provinces of Bataan, Pampanga, Batangas, Bulacan,
Laguna, and Morong, some of them with seaports
and such was the success of the victory of our arms,
truly marvelous and without equal in the history of
colonial revolutions that in the first mentioned
province only the Detachments in Naic and Indang
remained to surrender; in the second, all
Detachments had been wiped out; in the third, the
resistance of the Spanish forces was localized in the
town of San Fernando where the greater part of
them are concentrated, the remainder in Macabebe,
Sexmoan, and Guagua; in the fourth, in the town of
Lipa; in the fifth, in the capital and in Calumpit; and
in the last two remaining provinces, only in their
respective capitals, and the city of Manila will soon
be besieged by our forces as well as the provinces
of Nueva Ecija, Tarlac, Pangasinan, La Union,
Zambales, and some others in the Visayas where the
revolution at the time of the pacification and others
even before, so that the independence of our
country and the revindication of our sovereignty is
assured.
And having as witness to the rectitude of our
intentions the Supreme, Judge of the Universe, and
under the protection of the Powerful and
Humanitarian Nation, the United States of America,
we do hereby proclaim and declare solemnly in the
name and by authority.of the people of these
Philippine Islands,
That they are and have the right to be free
and independent; that they have ceased to have any
allegiance to the Crown of Spain; that all political
ties between them are and should be completely
severed and annulled; and that, like other free and
independent States, they enjoy the full power to
make War and Peace, conclude commercial treaties,
enter into alliances, regulate commerce, and do all
other acts and things which an Independent State
has a right to do,
And imbued with firm confidence in Divine
Providence, we hereby mutually bind ourselves to
support this Declaration with our lives, our fortunes,
and with our most sacred possession, our Honor.
We recognize, approve, and ratify, with all
the orders emanating from the same, the
Dictatorship established by Don Emilio Aguinaldo
whom we revere as the Supreme Head of this
Nation, which today begins to have a life of its own,
in the conviction that he has been the instrument
chosen by God, inspite of his humble origin, to
effectuate the redemption of this unfortunate
country as foretold by Dr. Don Jose Rizal in his
magnificent verses which he composed in his prison
cell prior to his execution, liberating it from the
Yoke of Spanish domination,
And in punishment for the impunity with
which the Government sanctioned the commission
of abuses by its officials, and for the unjust
execution of Rizal and others who were sacrificed
in order to please the insatiable friars in their
hydropical thirst for vengeance against and
extermination of all those who oppose their
Machiavellian ends, trampling upon the Penal Code
of these Islands, and of those suspected persons
arrested by the Chiefs of Detachments at the
instigation of the friars, without any form nor
semblance of trial and without any spiritual aid of
our sacred Religion; and likewise, and for the same.
ends, eminent Filipino priests, Doctor Don Jose
Burgos, Don Mariano Gomez, and Don Jacinto
Zamora were hanged whose innocent blood was
shed due to the intrigues of these so called religious
corporations which made the authorities to believe
that the military uprising at the fort of San Felipe in
Cavite on the night of January 21, 1872 was
instigated by those Filipino martyrs, thereby
impeding the execution of the decree-sentence
issued by the Council of State in the appeal in the
administrative case interposed by the secular clergy
against the Royal Orders that directed that the
parishes under them within the jurisdiction of this
Bishopric be turned over to the Recollects in
exchange for those controlled by them in Mindanao
which were to be transferred to the Jesuits, thus
revoking them completely and ordering the retum of
those parishes, all of which proceedings are on file
with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to which they
are sent last month of last year for the issuance of
the proper Royal Degree which, in turn, caused the
growth of the tree of liberty in our dear land that
grew more and more through the iniquitous
measures of oppression, until the last drop from our
chalice of suffering having been drained, the first
spark of revolution broke out in Caloocan, spread
out to Santamesa and continued its course to the
adjoining regions of the province where the
unequalled heroism of its inhabitants fought a one-
sided battle against superior forces of General
Blanco and General Polavieja for a period of three
months, without proper arms nor ammunitions,
except bolos, pointed bamboos, and arrows.
Moreover, we confer upon our
famous Dictator Don Emilio Aguinaldo all
the powers necessary to enable him to
discharge the duties of Government,
including the prerogatives of granting
pardon and amnesty,
And lastly, it was resolved unanimously that this
Nation, already free and independent as of this day,
must use the same flag which up to now is being
used, whose design and colors are found described
in the attached drawing, the white triangle
signifying the distinctive emblem of the famous
Society of the "Katipunan" which by means of its
blood compact inspired the masses to rise in
revolution; the three stars, signifying the three
principal Islands of this Archipelago - Luzon,
Mindanao, and Panay where this revolutionary
movement started; the sun representing the gigantic
steps made by the sons of the country along the path
of Progress and Civilization; the eight rays
signifying the eight provinces - Manila, Cavite,
Bulacan, Pampanga, Nueva Ecija, Bataan, Laguna,
and Batangas - which declared themselves in a state
of war as soon as the first revolt was initiated; and
the colors of Blue, Red, and White, commemorating
the flag of the United States of North America, as a
manifestation of our profound gratitude towards this
Great Nation for its disinterested protection which it
lent us and continues lending us.
And holding up this flag of ours, I present
it to the gentlemen here assembled -
Don Segundo Arellano
Don Tiburcio del Rosario
Sergio Matias
Don Agapito Zialcita
Don Flaviano Alonzo
Don Mariano Legazpi
Don Jose Turiano Santiago y Acosta Don Aurelio
Tolentino
Don Felix Ferrer
Don Felipe Buencamino
Don Fernando Canon Faustino
Don Anastacio Pinzun
Don Timoteo Bernabe
Don Flaviano Rodriguez
Don Gavino Masancay
Who solemnly swear to recognize and
defend it unto the last drop of their blood.
In witness thereof, I certify that this Act of
Declaration of Independence was signed by me and
by all those here assembled including the only
stranger who attended those proceedings, a citizen
of the U.S.A., Mr. L. M. Johnson, a Colonel of
Artillery.
Additional Notes from PPT:
Ambrosio Rianzares Bautista - In 1898, Bautista
became the first adviser to President Emilio
Aguinaldo and subsequently wrote the Declaration
of Philippine Independence.
Emilio Aguinaldo - Emilio Aguinaldo was born on
March 22, 1869, in Kawit, Cavite, Philippines.
- In 1898, he achieved independence of the
Philippines from Spain and was elected the first
president of the new republic under the Malolos
Congress. He also led the Philippine-American War
against U.S. resistance to Philippine independence.
List of the wrong doings of the Spaniards:
 Arbitrary Arrests and Abuses
- It describes how civil guards, acting either
independently or under orders from their superiors,
engage in arbitrary arrests and abuse their power.
These abuses sometimes result in deaths, with
superiors ordering shootings under false pretexts
such as escape attempts.
 Lack of Accountability
- The abuses mentioned are not punished, indicating
a lack of accountability within the system.
 Unjust Deportations
- There are mentions of unjust deportations of
prominent Filipinos, orchestrated by General
Blanco and influenced by the Archbishop and the
friars. These deportations are motivated by selfish
interests, such as maintaining control and
perpetuating ignorance among the populace.
 Comparison to the Inquisition
- The deportations are likened to processes
worse than those of the Inquisition, a historical
institution known for its severe and often unjust
methods of interrogation and punishment. This
comparison underscores the severity and injustice of
the deportations.
Miguel Lopez de Legazpi
 He left Acapulco with five ships and
reached Cebu, one of the southern
islands of the archipelago, in April
1565, founding the first Spanish
settlement on the site of modern
Cebu City.
  Legazpi served as the first governor
of the Philippines, from 1565 until
his death.

Ferdinand Magellan

 After several weeks in the

Philippines, Magellan had converted
as many as 2,200 locals to
Christianity, including Rajah
Humabon of Cebu and most leaders
of the islands around Cebu.
