Answer (1)
The passage explains that the Katipunan sought to achieve the independence of the Philippines from Spanish rule through a secret organization and armed struggle. It united Filipinos to stand together against colonial oppression. The members played vital roles—as recruiters, messengers, fighters, and protectors of the organization’s ideals. Despite the dangers to their lives, they continued to work to expand the movement and advance the fight for freedom.It also states that Emilio Jacinto’s Kartilya was considered the moral guide of the Katipunan because it contained teachings and principles that shaped the character of a true Anak ng Bayan (Child of the Nation)—love of country, equality, honor, and selfless service. It reflected Filipino values during the colonial period such as loyalty, respect, and patriotism. Even today, the Kartilya’s teachings remain important in building a society that is honest, united, and dedicated to serving the greater good.
