Ang SAMPUNG UTOS at ang Kartilya ng Katipunan
Emilio Jacinto
Sometime in 1896, Andres Bonifacio, the father of the Philippine Revolution, and once the
President of the Supreme Council of the Katipunan, penned the Duties of the Sons of the
People, a list of the duties and responsibilities to be followed strictly by every member of the
organization.
The rules constituted a decalogue, and embodied Bonifacio’s passionate beliefs. In admiration
of Emilio Jacinto’s literary style, Bonifacio would later adopt Jacinto’s Kartilya as the official
teachings of the Katipunan. Similar to the Decalogue, the Kartilya was written to introduce new
recruits to the principles and values that should guide every member of the organization.
Decalogue of "The Duties of the Sons of the People"
by Andres Bonifacio

I. Love God full-heartedly.

II. Bear always in mind that the true love of God is love of Country, love which is also true love
of man.

III. Bear always in mind that the true measure of honor and of charity is to die in defense of your
Country.

IV. Serenity, constancy, reason, and faith in whatever act of endeavor, crown with success
every desire.

V. Guard, as you would your honor, the mandates and aims of the K.K.K.

VI. It is incumbent on all that he who runs a serious risk in complying with his duties should be
protected at the sacrifice of life and riches.

VII. Let the achievement of each, either in self-control or in compliance with duty, be an
example to his fellow.

VIII. Help to the limit of your endurance, share your wealth with the needy or unfortunate.

IX. Diligence in your daily work to earn a living is the true expression of love and affection for
yourself, for your wife, for your child, for your brother, and for your countryman.

X. Believe in the chastisement of the perverseand the treacherous and in the reward of all good
work. Believe, also, that the aims of the K.K.K. are the gifts of God; for the hopes of the Country
are also the hopes of God.

From the official program for the inauguration of the Bonifacio Monument, 1933
Kartilya ng Katipunan
1. Ang buhay na hindi ginugugol sa isang malaki at banal na kadahilanan ay kahoy na

walang lilim, kundi damong makamandag.
2. Ang gawang magaling na nagbuhat sa paghahambog o pagpipita sa sarili, at hindi
talagang nasang gumawa ng kagalingan, ay di kabaitan.
3. Ang tunay na kabanalan ay ang pagkakawang-gawa, ang pag-ibig sa kapwa at ang
isukat ang bawat kilos, gawa't pangungusap sa talagang Katuwiran.
4. Maitim man o maputi ang kulay ng balat, lahat ng tao'y magkakapantay; mangyayaring
ang isa'y hihigtan sa dunong, sa yaman, sa ganda...; ngunit di mahihigtan sa pagkatao.
5. Ang may mataas na kalooban, inuuna ang puri kaysa pagpipita sa sarili; ang may
hamak na kalooban, inuuna ang pagpipita sa sarili kaysa sa puri.
6. Sa taong may hiya, salita'y panunumba.
7. Huwag mong sayangin ang panahon; ang yamang nawala'y mangyayaring magbalik;
ngunit panahong nagdaan ay di na muli pang magdadaan.
8. Ipagtanggol mo ang inaapi; kabakahin ang umaapi.
9. Ang mga taong matalino'y ang may pag-iingat sa bawat sasabihin; matutong ipaglihim
ang dapat ipaglihim.
10. Sa daang matinik ng buhay, lalaki ang siyang patnugot ng asawa at mga anak; kung
ang umaakay ay tungo sa sama, ang pagtutunguhan ng inaakay ay kasamaan din.
11. Ang babae ay huwag mong tingnang isang bagay na libangan lamang, kundi isang
katuwang at karamay sa mga kahirapan nitong buhay; gamitin mo nang buong
pagpipitagan ang kanyang kahinaan, at alalahanin ang inang pinagbuharan at nag-iwi
sa iyong kasanggulan.
12. Ang di mo ibig gawin sa asawa mo, anak at kapatid, ay huwag mong gagawin sa asawa,
anak at kapatid ng iba.
