14 Rules of Kartilya ng Katipunan ni Emilio Aguinaldo 1. Ang kabuhayang hindi ginugugol sa isang malaki at banal na kadahilanan ay kahoy na walang lilim, kun di damong makamandang. The life that is not consecrated to a lofty and reasonable purpose is a tree without a shade, if not a poisonous weed. The First code of conduct simple tells us that we must have a purpose-driven life. We must know how to set our goals and find meaning to our life because without knowing our purpose, we will suffer from unwanted situations. 2. Ang gawang magaling na nagbubuhat sa pagpipita sa sarili, at hindi talagang nasang gumawa ng kagalingan, ay di kabaitan To do good for personal gain and not for its own sake is not virtue. This means that we must not be selfish. We must do good deed not to earn praises but to show it with our whole heart because a deed done only for fame is not worthy to be called good. 3. Ang tunay na kabanalan ay ang pagkakawang gawa, ang pagibig sa kapwa at ang isukat ang bawat kilos, gawa’t pangungusap sa talagang katuiran. 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. It gives us the real definition of true act of kindness – Being kind is simply seen by the service and love one gives to his/her fellowmen without asking anything in return. 4.

Maitim man at maputi ang kulay ng balat, lahat ng tao’y magkakapantay: mangyayaring ang isa’y higtan sa dunong, sa yaman, sa ganda…, ngunit di mahihigtan sa pagkatao. 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 4th rule highlights EQUALITY. We are all born to be equal no matter what rrace, status, and educational background we have. Our society may have divided us into groups but we must all understant that no one is a superior of anyone.

5. Ang may mataas na kalooban inuuna ang puri sa pagpipita sa sarili; ang may hamak na kalooban, inuuna ang pagpipita sa sarili sa puri. The honorable man prefers honor to personal gain; the scoundrel, gain to honor. A good person must understand that honoring oneself also means he or she values honor rather than personal interest. True honor means having a high moral standard behavior. 6. Sa taong may hiya, salita’y panunumpa.

To the honorable man, his word is sacred. The rule 6 tells us that we must be a man of our own words. Whatever said must be done. We must do things that we promised because we can never take back what we have been said so ” walk the talk “. 7. Huwag mong sayangin ang panahun: ang yamang nawala’y mangyayaring magbalik; ngunit panahung nagdaan na’y di na muli pang magdadaan. Do not waste thy time: wealth can be recovered but not time lost. Everyone must understand the importance of time. We usually focus ourselves on worrying from different material things. This code of conduct tells us to treasure time because we can never take it back. At the end we might end up having regreting for the things we weren’t able to do. We have make use of our time wisely. 8. Ipagtanggol mo ang inaapi; kabakahin ang umaapi. Defend the oppressed and fight the oppressor before the law or in the field. We don’t have the same strenghts but we can help one another. We must choose to fight for what is right – Fight with the weak people who needs your help and comfort and Fight those people who keep on putting others down by oppressing them. 9. Ang taong matalino’y ang may pagiingat sa bawat sasabihin, at matutong ipaglihim ang dapat ipaglihim. The prudent man is sparing in words and faithful in keeping secrets This highlights the importance of trust and comfidentiality. A wise man is a man who thinks of what he says and keeps what is needed to be kept. 10. Sa daang matinik ng kabuhayan, lalaki ay siyang patugot ng asawa’t mga anak: kung ang umaakay ay tungo sa sama, ang pagtutunguhan ng inaakay ay kasamaan din. 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. All of us needs to be a model for everyone because whatever they saw in us will also be followed by the people who sees us. And a true man leads his family to the right path by showing them that he is righteous. 11. Ang babai ay huwag mong tignang isang bagay na libangan lamang, kun di isang katuang at karamay sa mga kahirapan nitong kabuhayan; gamitan mo nag boong pagpipitagan ang kaniyang kahinaan, at alalahanin ang inang pinagbuhatan at nagiwi sa iyong kasanggulan.

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. This principle is about women. That every woman deserves to be respected and no man shall see them as an object nor a past time. Just like what they always say, a man who don’t respect a woman do not respect his mother who gave him birth. Girls deserve to be loved with full respect and care. 12. Ang di mo ibig na gawin sa asawa mo, anak at kapatid, ay huag mong gagawin sa asawa, anak at kapatid ng iba. 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. Every action that any man do is important. Every action has its own consequences. We must not do bad things against other people if we don’t want other people to do bad things against us. 13. Ang kamahalan ng tao’y wala sa pagkahari, wala sa tangus ng ilong at puti ng mukha, wala sa pagkaparing kahalili ng Dios, wala sa mataas na kalagayan sa balat ng lupa: wagas at tunay na mahal na tao, kahit laking gubat at walang nababatid kun di ang sariling wika, yaon may magandang asal, may isang pangungusap, may dangal at puri; yaon di nagpapaapi’t di nakikiapi; yaong marunong magdamdam at marunong lumingap sa bayang tinubuan. 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. The thirteenth principle is about having the right character and good values. A Man’s life is not measured by what is his status in life nor with the things that he possess. Instead, it is in his character and his love for the native land. 14. Paglagalap ng mga aral na itoat maningning na sumikat ang araw ng mahal na Kalayaan dito sa kaabaabang Sangkapuluan, at sabugan ng matamis niyang liwanag ang nangagkaisang magkakalahi’t magkakapatid na ligayang walang katapusan, ang mga ginugol na buhay, pagud, at mga tiniis na kahirapa’y labis nang natumbasan. 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 last code of conduct shows the desire of Emilio Aguinaldo....
