All people are equal regardless of physical attributes. Honorable people prioritize honor over wealth and keep their word. One should help the oppressed and keep secrets. Men should guide women and children responsibly. Treat others as you wish to be treated. True worth comes from good character and service, not status or privileges.

Katipunan Code

of Conduct
1. The life that is not consecrated to a lofty
and reasonable purpose is a tree without a
shade, if not a poisonous weed.

2. To do good for personal gain and not for its


own sake is not virtue.

3. 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.
4. 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.

5. The honorable man prefers honor to personal gain; the


scoundrel, gain to honor.

6. To the honorable man, his word is sacred.

7. Do not waste thy time: wealth can be recovered but not
time lost.

8. Defend the oppressed and fight the oppressor before the


law or in the field.
9. The prudent man is sparing in words and faithful in keeping
secrets.

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.
