Kartilya
 The Kartilya ng Katipunan

 ( Primer of the Katipunan)

 Served as the guidebook for new members
of the organization, which laid out the group's
rules and principles.
 The first edition of the Kartilya was written by
Emilio Jacinto.
 TEACHINGS OF THE
KATIPUNAN
 A life that is not dedicated to a noble cause is like a tree without a
shade or a poisonous weed.
 A deed lacks nobility if it is motivated by self-interest and not by a
sincere desire to help.
 True piety consists of being charitable, loving one’s fellow men,
and being judicious in behavior, speech and deed.
 All persons are equal, regardless of the color of their skin. While
one could have more schooling, wealth, or beauty than another,
all that does not make one more human than anybody else.
 A person with a noble character values honor above self-interest,
while a person with a base character values self-interest above
honor.
 To a person of honor, his/her word is a pledge.
 Don’t waste time; lost wealth can be retrieved, but time lost is lost
forever.
 Defend the oppressed and fight the oppressor.
 The wise person is careful in all he/she has to say and is discreet
about things that need to be kept secret./ An intelligent man is he
who is cautious in speech and knows how to keep the secrets
that must be guarded.
 In the thorny path of life, the man leads the way and his wife and
children follow. If the leader goes the way to perdition, so do the
followers. (Note: This begins with an observation of the vertical
relationship of husband and wife during the time of the Katipunan;
now, we can say that the parents lead the way and the children
follow.)
 Never regard a woman as an object for you to trifle with; rather
you should consider her as a partner and helpmate. Give proper
consideration to a woman’s frailty and never forget that your own
mother, who brought you forth and nurtured you from infancy, is
herself such a person.
 Don’t do to the wife, children, brothers, and sisters of others what
you do not want done to your wife, children, brothers, and sisters.
 A man’s worth is not measured by his station in life, neither by
the height of his nose nor the fairness of skin, and certainly not
by whether he is a priest claiming to be God’s deputy. Even if he
a tribesman from the hills and speaks only his tongue, a man has
fine perceptions and is loyal to his native land.
 When these teachings shall have been propagated and the
glorious sun of freedom begins to shine on these poor Islands to
enlighten a united race and people, then all the lives lost, all the
struggle and the sacrifices will not have been in vain.

 The Tejeros Convention is a manifestation of
how the vested interests of the members
ruined their idealism and their dreams for the
Katipunan. The convention witnessed the
factionalism within the Katipunan.
Katipunan Factions

Magdalo (Aguinaldo)
vs
Magdiwang (Bonifacio)
 As early as December of 1896, the Katipuneros gathered
in Imus, Cavite to solve the problem of revolutionary
leadership in the province. But, the gathering ended
without a definite resolution since both factions had their
arguments. The Magdalo group claimed that a new
government should be formed to replace the Katipunan
since it ceased to exist as a secret society. On the other
hand, the Magdiwang group contended that the
Katipunan should remain as their government since it
has its constitution and by-laws approved and followed
by its members.
 Because of the unresolved issues among the members
of the Katipunan, another convention was held in Barrio
Tejeros, San Francisco de Malabon, Cavite on March
22, 1897. Majority of the attendees were from the
Magdalo group of the Katipunan. During the convention,
Jacinto Lumbreras acted as the presiding officer, and
Teodoro Gonzales acted as the secretary. Again, the
Katipuneros argued on the issue of the creation of a new
government until Bonifacio agreed to have an election of
a new government.
 The following were elected as officers:
Emilio Aguinaldo as President (elected in
absentia);
Mariano Trias as Vice President;
Artemio Ricarte as Captain-general;
Emiliano Riego de Dios as Director of War; and
Andres Bonifacio as Director of Interior.
Tejeros Convention

Pact of Biak na Bato
(December 15, 1897)
 It is an agreement between Aguinaldo and
Gov. Gen. Fernando Primo de Rivera to end
the revolution in exchange of Php 800, 000.
Aguinaldo’s group went into voluntary exile in
Hongkong.
 This was considered as a betrayal of the
genuine aspirations of the people and many
leaders defied the order to surrender and
continued the struggle in the provinces.
