PH honors Emilio Jacinto on his 150th birth anniversary
San Juan City commemorated the 150th birth anniversary of Emilio Jacinto, the "Brain of the Katipunan," with a flag-raising and wreath-laying ceremony at the Pinaglabanan Memorial Complex led by Mayor Francis Zamora.
Jacinto, a key figure in the Philippine Revolution, served as the chief adviser and strategist for the Katipunan, playing a crucial role in drafting its laws, regulations, and propaganda materials.
He authored the "Kartilya ng Katipunan," a foundational guide detailing the moral and ethical principles for the revolutionary society's members.
Mayor Zamora emphasized that Jacinto was not just a revolutionary who "fought with arms" but a "teacher of honor, intelligence, and true freedom," whose ideals continue to resonate today.
The National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) is also marking the occasion with activities nationwide to honor Jacinto's legacy and encourage patriotism and unity.
