<P> The Kartilya ng Katipunan (English: Primer of the Katipunan) served as the guidebook for new members of the organization, which laid out the group's rules and principles . The first edition of the Kartilya was written by Andres Bonifacio, Emilio Jacinto will later pen a revised Decalogue . </P> <Ol> <Li> A life that is not dedicated to a noble and divine cause is like a tree without a shade, if not, a poisonous weed . </Li> <Li> A deed that is motivated by self - interest or self - pity and done without sincerity lacks nobility . </Li> <Li> True piety is the act of being charitable, loving one's fellowmen, and being judicious in behavior, speech and deed . </Li> <Li> We are all equal, regardless of the color of their skin; While one could have more education, wealth or beauty than the other, none of them can overpass one's identity . </Li> <Li> A person with a noble character values honor above self - interest, while a person with a base character values self - interest above honor . </Li> <Li> To a man with a sense of shame, his word is inviolate . </Li> <Li> Do not waste your time; lost wealth can be retrieved, but time lost is lost forever . </Li> <Li> Defend the oppressed and fight the oppressor . </Li> <Li> A wise man is someone who is careful in all that he says; learn to keep the things that need to be kept secret . </Li> <Li> In the thorny path of life, the man leads the way and his wife and children follow; If the leader goes the way of evil, so do the followers . </Li> <Li> Never regard a woman as an object for you to trifle with; rather you should consider her as a partner and a friend in times of need; Give proper considerations to a woman's frailty and never forget that your own mother, who brought you forth and nurtured you from infancy, is herself such a person . </Li> <Li> Do not do to the wife, children and brothers and sisters of others what you do not want others to do to your wife, children and brothers and sisters . </Li> <Li> A (person's) worth is not measured by his / her status in life, neither by the length of his nose nor the fairness of skin, and certainly not by whether he is a priest claiming to be God's deputy . Even if he is a tribesman / tribeswoman from the hills and speaks only his / her own tongue, a (person) is honorable if he / she possesses a good character, is true to his / her word, has fine perceptions and is loyal to his / her native land . </Li> <Li> When these teachings shall have been propagated and the glorious sun of freedom begins to shine on these poor islands to enlighten a united race and people, then all the loves lost, all the struggle and sacrifices shall not have been in vain . </Li> </Ol>
