 Twin Souls of the Katipunan

Andres Bonifacio and Emilio Jacinto

Its founder Andres Bonifacio was born on November 30,
1863 in Azcarraga St. near Manila Railroad Station
His parents Santiago Bonifacio and Catalina de Castro,
belonged to the lower middle class.
Has 3 brothers: Ciriaco, Procopio, and Troadio
Has 2 sisters: Espiridiona and Maxima
He sold canes and paper fans in his early years
He worked as a messenger of J.M. Fleming and Co., an
English trading firm; and later, as an agent of the
German.
 At night, he read newspapers and books , which were
all written in Spanish. He taught himself to read and
write in this language and in time he became literate in
Spanish.
He felt sad and angry when Rizal executed on
December 30, 1896 because great Filipino was
executed.
Bonifacio was anti-friar and anti-Spanish. To him, they
were all the same: greedy, immoral, cruel, and lazy.
His poems in Tagalog, Tapunan ng Lingap and Ang
Mga Cazadrones attacked the Spaniards furiously.
He called the Spaniards White Cattle.
His poem Huling Hikbi ng Pilipinas openly called for
independence from colonial rule
 Bonifacio found a twin soul in the Katipunan the
younger and intelligent Emilio Jacinto. Born in Tondo,
Manila on December 15, 1875.
Jacinto lived a hard life when he was young like
Bonifacio. His father died early which compelled his
mother to send him to his uncles house for support.
He first studied at San Juan de Letran and later
transferred to the University of Santo Tomas where he
studied Law.
At 18, Jacinto joined at the Katipunan leaving his
studies.
 Bonifacio warmed up to him and a deep friendship
developed between the two, then greatly influenced
the Katipunan.
He wrote in Tagalog, the language of the masses,
except one poem in Spanish, A Mi Patria (Country)
Jacinto believed that the people, the masses, could
be reached only through their own language, so
they both wrote in Tagalog.
It is for this reason that Bonifacio and Jacinto
succeeded in uniting the people behind them.
 He also wrote Kartilla, Liwanag at Dilim, Pahayag,
Sa Mga Kababayan and others.
Bonifacio assigned him to lead the rebels in
Laguna.
He died in Mahayhay, Laguna on April 6, 1899 at
the young age of twenty-four.
