 The 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 po
isonous 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 wor
ds to what is in itself reasonable.
4. Whether our skin be black or white, we are all born equal: superiority in knowledge, wealth and beaut
y 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 pre
cipice, 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 t
hee the penalties of life; her (physical) weakness will increase thy interest in her and she will remind thee o
f 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, c
hildren, 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 beca
use 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 hone
st; he who does not oppress nor consent to being oppressed, he who loves and cherishes his fatherland, th
ough 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 mo
st unhappy portion of the globe and its rays shall diffuse everlasting joy among the confederated brethren of the s
ame 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 b
e his duties, he may fill out the application for admission.
