Week 3
Lesson 5 Duties of the Katipunan of the Sons of the People (KKK)
By the end of this lesson, the student will be able to:
 Recite the Decalogue of the Katipunan
 Examine the practicality of the Decalogue during the time of revolution
 Compare the Decalogue with the vision and mission of the Philippine National
Police and Philippine Army
 Construct a personalized Decalogue for the present-day heroes

Although unpublished during Bonifacio’s lifetime, this Decalogue is today


well known, printed in schoolbooks and inscribed on monuments. The format in
which Bonifacio sets out the duties of KKK members obviously derives from the Old
Testament, and in content the injunctions echo the “Programa Masonica” and “Codigo
Masonico” of the Gran Oriente Espanol. The “Codigo” for instance, similarly opens
with the direction to exalt the Creator, and similarly extols charity and love for one’s
fellows. It, too, enjoins lodge members to be calm, to be guided by reason, and to
support one another, “even at the cost of one’s life.” It, too, says members who break
their obligations will be duly punished.
The crucial difference between the, masonic credo and Bonifacio’s Decalogue
is one of ultimate purpose. The mission of masonry, according to the Gran Oriente’s
“Programa”, is exclusively humanitarian: it strives to “foster charity and philanthropy
among free men of good standing” and to establish a “fraternity among mankind.”
The mission of the Katipunan, the Decalogue makes clear, is to liberate the country
from enslavement.
Duties of the Sons of the People:
1. Believe with a fervent heart in the creator.
2. Reflect always that a sincere faith in him involves love of one’s native land,
because this shows true love for one’s fellows.
3. Engrave on the heart the conviction that to die for the liberation of the country
from enslavement is the highest honor and fortune.
4. In any endeavor, the realization of good aspirations depends on calmness,
perseverance, reason and hope.
5. Guard the instructions and plan of the K K K as you would guard your own
honor.
6. Anyone who falls into danger whist carrying out their duties should be supported
by all, and rescued even at the cost of life and riches.
7. Let each of us strive in the performance our duty to set a good example for others
to follow.
8. Share whatever you can with whoever is needy.
9. Diligence in earning a livelihood is a true expression of love and affection for
self, spouse, children, brothers or compatriots.
10. Believe absolutely that scoundrels and traitors will be punished and good deeds
will be rewarded. Believe, likewise, that the aims of the K K K are blessed by
creator, for the will of the people is also His will.
