13. LITERATURE OF KATIPUNAN
Decalogue of the Katipunan
•Love God with all your heart.
• Bear always in the mind that the love
of God is also the love of country,
and this too, is love one’s fellow
men.
• Engrave in your heart that the true
measure of honor and happiness is
to die for the freedom of your
country.
• Guard the mandates and aims of the
KKK as you guard your honor.

14. LITERATURE OF KATIPUNAN
Kartilya ng Katipunan
• To a person of honor, his/her word is a pledge.
• Don’t waste time; lost wealth can be retrieved, but
time lost is lost forever.
• A life that is not dedicated to a noble cause is like a
tree without a shade or a poisonous weed.
• Never regard a woman as an object for you to trifle
with: rather you should consider her as a partner and
helpmate.
• Don't do to wife, children, brothers, and sisters of
others what you do not want done to your wife,
children, brothers and sisters.
• A man’s worth is not measured by his station in life,
neither by the height of his nose nor the fairness of
skin.
