Emilio Jacinto

 Emilio Jacinto was born in 1875 on the 15th of December.


 He was the only son of a man named Mariano Jacinto and a woman named Josefa
Dizon.
 Emilio attended the San Juan de Letran College when he first embarked on his college
career. However, he later attended the University of San Tomas in order to study law.
Emilio left college before completing his law degree.
 After dropping out of college at the age of 20, Emilio joined the Katipunan, a secret
revolutionary society. This was a group whose objective was to
gain Philippine independence from Spain in 1892.
 Jacinto became the secretary, directly reporting to the leader of the Katipunan. He also
became the chief advisor on fiscal matters concerning this secret society. In addition to
these duties, Emilio also wrote the society's newspaper, the Kalayaan.
 Emilio was given a new name when he was part of this group. To the Katipunan, he was
often referred to as Utak ng Katipunan. However, he wrote under the pseudonym
Dimasailaw when writing for the newspaper and he was more commonly referred to in
the group as Pingkian. Jacinto was also placed in charge of writing the guidebook for
new members and current members of the Katipunan, which was called Kartilya ng
Katipunan.
 When the leader of the Katipunan passed away, Emilio continued to carry out the
wishes of Bonifacio. The Katipunan at this time had many factions and not all of them
operated in the same way in their efforts to gain their independence from Spain. As with
his predecessor before him, Jacinto refused to join with these factions who had different
views. This included refusing to join the Magdalo faction of the Katipunan under the
leadership of Emilio Aguinaldo.
 Emilio Jacinto died on April 16, 1899 at the age of 24. The cause of his death at such a
young age was malaria, which he had contracted while in Majayjay, Laguna. 
 It was Andres Bonifacio who first formulated a code of conduct and to whom
the Dekalogo ng Katipunan was attributed.
 The Dekalogo had only ten points and dealt primarily with one’s duties to God, country,
family, neighbor, the Katipunan and himself. It spoke of honor, charity and self-sacrifice
but warned of penalty to the traitor and disobedient.   
 The Kartilya was longer, more literary and philosophical.  It presented its concept of
virtuous living as lessons for self-reflection, rather than as direct prescriptions.  It
asserted that it was the internal, not the external qualifications that make human
greatness. In the third statement, Jacinto defined true piety (kabanalan) as charity, love
for one another, and actions, deeds and speech guided by judicious reasons (“talagang
katuiran”, literally, true reason).  Written more than a hundred years ago at a time when
the idea of nationhood was still a dream, the Kartilya reflected  a vision, “bright sun of
freedom in the islands, spreading its light upon brothers and a race united.”
    Instead of simply reproducing Karapatan ng Tawo, Jacinto and Bonifacio adapted and
changed it in order that it may be implanted more deeply into the minds and hearts of
Katipunan followers.
