Is it right for the Katipuneros to revolutionize their desire for freedom? Why?
Answers
Answer:
No
Explanation:
ON November 30, when the whole nation celebrated the 154th birth anniversary of the Supremo Andres Bonifacio, President Duterte encouraged all Filipinos to emulate the hero’s nationalism. It came largely unnoticed by many of those who read the president’s message, but it is something that may not be taken so lightly.
A tall order, to say the least, because the Katipuneros of Bonifacio’s time, and especially the Supremo himself, pledged in blood their loyalty for country and for their compatriots. The Katipuneros believed that it is only when people have good intentions for each other will true well-being and freedom be attained.
Emilio Jacinto, a general during the Philippine revolution and one of the country’s brave heroes, penned the Kartilya ng Katipunan, or the Katipunan’s Code of Ethics. The 14-point guideline served as the members’ touchstone when it came to behavior, character and intentions. Allow me to reprint here the Katipunan’s Code of Ethics, to inspire us to act, think and speak like the Supremo and his loyal Katipuneros.
