Historical background of the Kartilya

Andres Bonifacio long wanted to have a codified document listing the duties and responsibilities of every member of the Katipunan. Incidentally, as Bonifacio was drafting the said document, Emilio Jacinto was writing one as well. By the time that Bonifacio was about to consult Jacinto for comments on his draft, the latter presented his work to the Supremo.

After seeing the draft of the Kartilya ng Katipunan by Emilio Jacinto, Bonifacio was impressed with Jacinto's style of writing and decided to adopt the Kartilya as the guidebook for the rules and regulations of Katipunan.
