KARTILYA NG KATIPUNAN
KARTILYA NG KATIPUNAN
"Do not waste time: wealth can be recovered but not time wasted."
-Kartilya 8, Emilio Jacinto

mga nagnanais sumapi sa kilusang ito laban sa kolonyalismong
Espanyol.

 THE KARTILYA OF THE
• A life that is not dedicated to a greatKATIPUNAN
and sacred cause is like a tree without a shade, or a poisonous weed.
• A good deed lacks virtue if it springs from a desire for personal profit and not from a sincere desire to do
good.
• True charity resides in acts of compassion, in love for one's fellow men, and in making true.
• Reason the measure of every move, deed, and word.
• Be their skin dark or pale, all men are equal. One can be superior to another in knowledge, wealth, and
beauty... but not in being.
• A person with a noble character values honor above self-interest, while a person with an ignoble
character values self-interest above honor.
• An honorable man's word is his blood.
• Don't waste time; lot wealth may be recovered, but time lost is forever.
• Defend the oppressed and fight the oppressor.
 THE KARTILYA OF THE
• An intelligent man is he who takes care in everything he says and keeps quite about what must be kept secret
KATIPUNAN
• Along the thorny path of life, the man leads the way and his wife and children follow. If the leader goes the way of
perdition, then so do those who are led.
• Do not regard a woman as a mere playing, but as a helpmate and partner in the hardships of this existence. Have due
regard to her weakness, and remember the mother who brought you into this world and nurtured you in your infancy.
• What you would not want done to your wife, daughter and sister, do not do to the wife, daughter and sister of another. A
man's worth does not come from him being a king, or in the height of his nose and the whiteness of his face, or in him
being a priest, a REPRESENATIVE OF GOD, or in his exalted position on the face of this earth. Pure and truly noble is
he who, though born in the forest and able to speak only his own tongue, behaves decently, is true to his word, has dignity
and honor, who is not an oppressor and does not abet oppressors, who knows how to cherish and look after the land of his
birth.
• When these doctrines have spread and the brilliant sun of beloved liberty shines on these poor islands, and sheds its sweet
light upon a united race, a people in everlasting happiness, then the lives lost, the struggle and the suffering will have been
more than recompensed.
• Liberalism, Classicism, and Modernism replaced the Age of Enlightenment. Secret fraternal
organizations like the Freemasons emerged, along with venues such as coffeehouses and literary
salons, fostering diverse discussions.

• The French Revolution in the 18th century sparked social and political unrest in France. It became
the catalyst for the growth and development of contemporary political ideologies. The Ilustrados
in both the Philippines and Europe were deeply influenced by these events, leading to the spread
of radicalism, liberalism, and nationalism.

• Masonry played a significant role in the Philippines, with the establishment of the Logia
Revolucion in Barcelona by Graciar Lopez-Jaena in 1889. This event is widely considered the
birthplace of modern masonry in the country. Prominent Filipino members such as Marcelo H. del
Pilar, Jose Alejandrino, the Luna brothers Juan and Antonio, and Jose Rizal further spread
Masonry in the Philippines. The dynamics of the Katipunan, a civic movement, were influenced
by Masonry. The Spanish friars blamed Masonry for the problems afflicting the Philippines and
the rise of the Katipunan. According to Jesuit Fransis Foradada, Filipino filibusterism
(subversion) and Masonry were seen as enemies
• The execution of the three priests, known as Gomburza, in 1872 had a profound impact on many
Filipinos, including Jose Rizal. This tragic event played a crucial role in propelling the
Propaganda Movement.

• The La Liga Filipina was formed by Dr. Jose Rizal upon his return to the Philippines to advocate
for reform through legal means. However, Rizal's arrest and exile to Dapitan led to the halt of La
Liga's activities. The organization split into two factions: the Katipunan, led by Andres Bonifacio,
and the Cuerpo de Compromisa, led by Numeriano Adriano. The Cuerpo members were seen as
conservative and remained loyal to Rizal's original ideals, while the Katipunan was considered
radical. Bonifacio believed that Rizal's exile validated the futility of seeking change through legal
channels, leading him to establish the revolutionary group known as the Katipunan, which
operated clandestinely.
