With all due to respect to Andres Bonifacio and all, we need to let the public know about the all-out efforts by our adversary in taking this Website off the face of the Net. When the opposite counsel files a motion to keep a webmaster from speaking in court, one begins to wonder. But when they object to almost every word and even image on the Website, then you know. There is more behind their lawsuit than I think. The use of the word humor is similarly frowned upon by them. In effect they insist to portray the site as did all the paper columnists who issued similar opinions a few days after their lawsuit was filed. Going by their rabid ridiculing of the site, to include downgrading the usefulness, if not the existence and validity of a search engine called "Google", you wonder, what else can they do? They seem to think that physical threats on the life of a webmaster and his family will get him off the stand weeks before testimony, and after three years in court at that. Hehe. Sorry kiddos, but no banana. Still, we credit some people out there at least with being consistent in believing that there is indeed nothing wrong with their company's service, that Erap and the cronies are cool, Imelda hip and East Timor was a blast. Sorry, but I disagree. So shoot me.

 

Mga Aral ng Katipunan sa Kartilya
ni Emilio Jacinto (English version below)

1. Ang buhay na hindi ginugugol sa isang malaki at banal na kadahilanan ay kahoy (puno) na walang lilim, kundi (man) damong makamandag. 

2. Ang gawang magaling na nagbubuhat sa paghahambog o papipita sa sarili (paghahangad na makasarili), 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 hihigitan sa dunong, sa yaman, sa ganda; ngunit di mahihigitan sa pagkatao. 

5. Ang may mataas na kalooban, inuuna ang (dangal o) puri kaysa pagpipita sa sarili; ang may hamak na kalooban, inuuna ang pagpipita sa sarili sa puri. 

6. Sa taong may hiya, salita'y panunumpa. 

7. Huwag mong sayangin ang panahon; ang yamang nawala'y mangyayaring magbalik; ngunit panahong nagdaan nay di na muli pang magdadaan. 

8. Ipagtanggol mo ang inaapi;kabakahin (labanan) ang umaapi. 

9. Ang 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, patutunguhan ng inaakay ay kasamaan din. (Ang simula nito ay obserbasyon sa ugnayan ng babae at lalaki sa panahon ng Katipunan; para sa kasalukuyan, iminumungkahing ipalit ang sumusunod: "Sa daang matinik ng buhay, ang mga magulang ang patnugot ng mag-anak; kung ang umaakay ay tungo sa sama, and patutunguhan ng inaakay ay kasamaan din.) 

11. Ang babae ay huwag mong tingnang isang bagay na libangan lamang, kundi isnag katuwang at karamay (ng lalaki) sa mga kahirapan nitong buhay; gamitin mo nang buong pagpipitagan ang kanyang (pisikal na ) kahinaan, alalahanin ang inang pinagbuhatan 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. 

13. Ang kamahalan ng tao'y wala sa pagkahari, wala sa tangos ng ilong at puti ng mukha, wala sa pagkaparing kahalili ng Diyos, wala sa mataas na kalagayan sa balat ng lupa: wagas at tunay na mahal na tao, kahit laking gubat at walang nababatid kundi sariling wika, yaong may magandang asal, may isang pangungusap, may dangal at puri, yaong di nagpaaapi't di nakikiapi; yaong marunong magdam-dam at marunong lumingap sa bayang tinubuan. 

14. Paglaganap ng mga aral na ito, at maningning na sisikat ang araw ng mahal na kalayaan dito sa kaaba-abang Sangkapuluan at sabungan ng matamis niyang liwanag ang nangagkaisang magkakalahi't magkakapatid, ng liwanag ng walang katapusan, ang mga ginugol na buhay, pagod, at mga tiniis na kahirapa'y labis nang matutumbasan.



The Katipunan Code of Conduct
by Emilio Jacinto (translated version of Gregorio Nieva)

THE LIFE THAT IS NOT consecrated to a lofty and reasonable purpose is a tree without a shade, if not a poisonous weed.

To do good for personal gain and not for its own sake is not virtue.

It is rational to be charitable and love one's fellow creature, and to adjust one's conduct, acts and words to what is in itself reasonable.

Whether our skin be black or white, we are all born equal: superiority in knowledge, wealth and beauty are to be understood, but not superiority by nature.

The honorable man prefers honor to personal gain; the scoundrel, gain to honor.

To the honorable man, his word is sacred.

Do not waste thy time: wealth can be recovered but not time lost.

Defend the oppressed and fight the oppressor before the law or in the field.

The prudent man is sparing in words and faithful in keeping secrets.

On the thorny path of life, man is the guide of woman and the children, and if the guide leads to the precipice, those whom he guides will also go there.

Thou must not look upon woman as a mere plaything, but as a faithful companion who will share with thee the penalties of life; her (physical) weakness will increase thy interest in her and she will remind thee of the mother who bore thee and reared thee.

What thou dost not desire done unto thy wife, children, brothers and sisters, that do not unto the wife, children, brothers and sisters of thy neighbor.

Man is not worth more because he is a king, because his nose is aquiline, and his color white, not because he is a priest, a servant of God, nor because of the high prerogative that he enjoys upon earth, but he is worth most who is a man of proven and real value, who does good, keeps his words, is worthy and honest; he who does not oppress nor consent to being oppressed, he who loves and cherishes his fatherland, though he be born in the wilderness and know no tongue but his own.

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.

(The above is the English translation of Jacinto's Cartilla by Gregorio Nieva. In popularizing the Tagalog original through the monthly holding of small-group solemn commemorations called Pagtitipon ng mga Anak ng Bayan the Kampanya para sa Kamalayan sa Kasaysayan (KAMALAYSAYAN) suggests for the tenth point here the substitution of the word "parents" for "man" and the cleletion of woman from those being guided. This enumeration of points reflected the stark gender imbalance of the period and would run afoul with present-day feminists; but the tenth point is really about the responsibility of guiding, in the present case, both parents together. )
