The Kartilya ng Katipunan is a set of principles that outlines how each and every Filipino must
live their life to the fullest while upholding moral standards. It centralizes for love of the country
and countrymen to fight for the truth, dignity, honor, equality, and freedom. Every Katipunero must
embody the qualities and self-reflection expressed in the Kartilya ng Katipunan and was created
to alter people's perceptions of the inappropriate behavior displayed by all Filipinos.
The document's main issue focuses on how Filipinos maintained their dignity and patriotism
at the time. This Kartilya of Katipunero attest on how intellectual Filipinos are back then, when
they established organization based on Masonic rites and principles to organize armed resistance
and terrorist assassinations in complete secrecy. It functioned as a parallel Filipino government,
complete with a president and cabinet. Their goal was to unite the people and prepare them for
an armed conflict in order to free the country from Spanish tyranny. To be a katipunero, Andres
first developed a code of conduct, to which the Dekalogo ng Katipunan was attributed. However,
it was never published; rather, it was claimed that after learning Jacinto's Kartilya, Bonifacio
ordered that it was preferable to his Dekalogo and approved it as the Katipunan's official primer.
