Gat Emilio Jacinto: Dakilang Bayani ng Himagsikan at Digmaang Pilipino-Amerikano (1899-1914)

NGAYONG araw, 113 taon na ang nakakalipas, sa Mahayhay, Laguna, noong panahon ng Digmaang-Pilipino Amerikano (1899-1914), pumanaw ang isa sa pinaka-dakilang bayaning Pilipino/Tagalog/Taga-Ilog, si Emilio Jacinto y Dizon. Patnugot ng KALAYAAN, may akda ng KARTILYA, inihalal na KALIIHIM ng manghihimagsik na Pamahalaang Kataastaasang Kagalanggalangang Katipunan nang manga Anak nang Bayan (KKK), PUNONG HUKBO ng mga KATIPUNERO sa MAYNILA.

KAPATID sa Puso at Pakikibaka para sa Kalayaan at Bayan ni Supremo Andres BONIFACIO y de Castro.... namatay na ipinagpatuloy ang pakikiba laban sa Kastila at imperyalistang Amerikano matapos ipa-kidnap, litisin kuno, at ipaligpit ng kampo ni Hen. Emilio Aguinaldo si Generallissimo Bonifacio noong Mayo 10, 1897.


Sa larawan ay makikita na itinabi sa labi ni Jacinto ang kanyang baril. Hindi masyadong kita subali't isinama rin sa kanyang libing ang kanyang sipi ng Kartilya. Sinasabing nang namatay ang bayani ay hinubaran ito ng mga kaaway na Amerikano and the vile Bald Eagle forces supposedly even mutilated his body although a general allowed military honors for him. May kwento rin na mga natives (traydor?) na taga Laguna ang ang nagturo daw ng posisyon ni Aguinaldo. Sa account ng National Historical Commission of the Philippines ay malaria ang kanyang ikinamatay. May historyador ring nagsasabi na namatay siya mula sa tama ng bala o ng lagnat na sumunod dito.  


Mula sa nauna kong artikulo (excerpts) sa Blog by Taga-Ilog News:

He occupied several posts in the Katipunan. Jacinto was only a pre-law student (at the University of Santo Tomas) when he was elected as fiscal or No. 2 official in the Supreme Council of the Katipunan. He also served as the KKK's Secretary and a military leader. His last position was as Commanding General of the Northern District of Manila, accordingly appointed by Bonifacio on April 15, 1897.

Emilio Jacinto Seal as Punong Hukbo
of KKK forces in Manila, Morong,
Bulacan & Nueva Ecija (late 1896 - early 1897)

Jacinto is well known for the Katipunan ethics code, the Kartilya, and his editorship of the revolutionary newspapaper Kalayaan. His best politico-social treatise, however, he wrote some five months after the terrible anguish over the coup murder-by-execution of his brotherly friend, Bonifacio, who fell prey to the greed of the camp of then Capt. Emilio Aguinaldo y Famy. Jacinto elected to fight the colonial Spaniards separate from the forces of Aguinaldo who liquidated the Supremo and his brother on May 10, 1897. Jacinto remained loyal to Bonifacio and true to the cause of the Katipunan, turning down Aguinaldo's invitation for him to serve in the latter's new de facto revolutionary government.

Possibly nestled by the shade of some tree but under fire from the colonial enemy; hurting from the most unjust death of his Supremo friend who distinctly had the guts and wits to propel the Philippines into a nationalist revolution; and hands grimy from combat efforts, Tagalog (Filipino) patriot Jacinto wrote his masterpiece "A La Patria" (To My Fatherland) on October 8, 1897 in Sta. Cruz, Laguna

Mula sa Today in History:

1899 - Emilio Jacinto y Dizon, young Filipino patriot, revolutionary, and freedom-fighting leader dubbed the "Brains of the Revolution," dies from malaria and/or a gunshot wound in the mountains of Majayjay, Laguna during the bloody and protracted Philippine-American War (1899-1914)

- considered one of the greatest, noblest of Filipino heroes, Jacinto became a key revolutionary official during the first phase of the Revolution against Spain (1896-1898) when he became a confidante and trusted official of Supremo Andres Bonifacio y de Castro, leader of the underground-society-turned-revolutionary-government Kataastaasang Kagalanggalangang Katipunan nang manga Anak nang Bayan (KKK)

- Jacinto embraced with conviction and enthusiasm the Katipunan that sought the liberation of the Philippine archipelago from the yoke of Spanish rule when he was only a pre-law student, eventually occupying several posts including being Fiscal, KKK Secretary of State, and military leader

- when Generallissimo Bonifacio fell victim to the virtual coup of the fraudulent Tejeros Convention and eventual execution-cum-assassination perpetrated by the forces of Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo y Famy, Jacinto gravely grieved, refused the offer to join the new government, while continuing to fight the Spaniards and, later, the imperialist Americans, separate from the forces of Aguinaldo

- an ethical and very intelligent and cunning militant leader who escaped arrest and death during several bloody encounters with the enemies in Laguna, Jacinto managed the Katipunan printing press, also supervised the gunpowder, and would be noted in history for his important editorship of the revolutionary organ Kalayaan, authorship of the ten-point ethical code/primer of the KKK, the Kartilya, and of A La Patria, A Mi Madre and "Liwanag at Dilim," a series of articles dealing with liberty, human rights, equality, patriotism, and labor

- Jacinto's death came exactly a day and two years after his last Katipunan government appointment--Commanding General of the Northern District of Manila--less than a month before Bonifacio was eliminated by the camp of Aguinaldo.

Si Punong Hukbong Jacinto sa ating pera ng nakaraang siglo: 

Makikita sa larawan sa ibaba na si Jacinto, kasama si Bonifacio, ang mukha ng P20, English series, noong 1949 (P1 si Mabini; P2 si Rizal; P5 sina del Pilar at Jaena; at P10 sina Gomburza). Ang likod ay ang mga simbolo ng Katipunan, kabilang ang Kartilya sinulat ni Jacinto.

Nakakalungkot na wala na si Jacinto sa ating pera ngayon.... napalitan yata ng mga hindi dapat iluklok sa mukha ng ating piso na bills.... Sana ay hindi makalimutan ng kasalukuyan at darating pang henerasyon ang kadakilaan, ang moralidad, kagitingan at pagmamahal sa bayan ni Gat Emilio Jacinto. 

Nguni't paano mangyayari ito? Malabong mangyari ang ganitong muling pagtatanghal ng kabayanihan ni Jacinto at iba pa dahil mismong ang Ama ng Katipunan, ang kanyang matalik na kaibigan at kapatid sa pakikiba na si Bonifacio, ang unang Pangulong Manghihimagsik ng bayan, ay na.devalue* na rin sa pera ng mga Pilipino.Sa panahon ng mga Dilaw kung kailan nagumpisa o lumakas ang lalagay ng mga di masyadong kaaya-ayang personalidad sa ating pera. Kung si Supremo Bonifacio nga ay ibinaba mula P5 sa makabagong pera at inilagay na lamang sa P10 kasama si Gat Apolinario Mabini (na hindi naman tama dahil wala silang naging makasaysayang pagsasama). 

Maghintay na lamang siguro tayo ng grasya ng isang inaasam na maayos na panahon kung naniniwala tayong darating ang ganoon ng pawis at hirap sa ating bahagi...... Maari ring kumilos tayo at subukan na makamit ang tagumpay, ang ninanais na maayos, makatao, malakas na bayan tulad ng ginawa nina Jacinto, Bonifacio, at sampu ng mga tapat ng Katipunero.

The Most Dishonorable Bald Eagle Captors of the Capitulating Emilio Aguinaldo

NGAYONG araw, Marso 23, isandaan at labing-isang taon na ang nakakaraan ay bumagsak sa mga kamay ng imperyalistang Estados Unidos si Hen. Emilio Aguinaldo y Famy, Pangulo ng tumatakbong (First officially recognized) Republika ng Pilipinas noong kasagsagan ng Digmaang Pilipino-Amerikano (1899-1914). The Fil-Am War development showed the immorality and utter lack of honor of the Bald Eagle nation in its war conduct. As well, it revealed the lack of principle and patriotic resolve of the very de facto leader of our country when he rather readily swore allegiance to the enemy flag following his capture.

Aguinaldo was captured by imperialist American soldiers through a vile scheme involving trickery and the use of traitorous local mercenaries and two Philippine Republic army officers turned turncoats. Frederick Funston led the Bald Eagles who posed as prisoners of local Macabebe scouts who, in turn, pretended to form the reinforcements sent by Gen. Baldomero Aguinaldo and Gen. Urbano Lacuna in Palanan, Isabela. This method used by the U.S. military would be condemned by the Anti-Imperialist Americans, notably novelist Mark Twain who referred to Funston as having employed means "which would disgrace the lowest blatherskite that is doing time in any penitentiary."

Dapat alalahanin na sa Giyerang Pilipino-Amerikano noong nakaraang siglo ay nagpamalas ang mga kaaway na Kalbong Agila ng kanilang kahayupan. Noong una ay binubuhay pa ng mga Kano ang mahuhuling Pilipino pero kinalaunan nang ayaw magpa-awat ang magigiting na freedom fighters na Pinoy ay pinagpapapatay na lang nila ang natatalo nilang sumagupa sa kanila. Gumamit din sila ng brutal na torture tulad ng water torture, pagpatay kahit sa mga bata, concentration camps, at masaker kabilang sa mga Muslim sa Timog. Ang Samar, Batangas, at ang bundok ng Dajo ang tatlo sa mga piping lugar na nakakita ng kagimbal-gimbal na pagkitil ng buhay ng mananakop na Amerikano. Hindi nakakapagtakang siyam na Amerikanong sundalo ang naglabas ng open letter na nagsasabing: “the time has come to break the silence so that you will see the folly of ...fighting these people who are defending their country against the cruel American invasion....”

Maraming nag-aakala na ang mga Hapon noong Pangalawang Digmaang Pandaigdig ang tunay na malupit sa mga sumakop sa ating bayan. Kung isa-sang-alang-alang ang masidhing rasismo ng mga mga Amerikano, na tinawag pa tayong mga "savages" at mababa pa sa mga African American, ay mas barbaro sa kalupitan ang Kalbong Agila. Kahit papano ay hindi tayo tinuring na uncivilized na lahi ng mga Hapon. Kahit sabihin pang hindi lahat ng sundalo o opisyal na Amerikano ay rasista sa mga Pilipino, pinatupad ng imperyalista ang polisiyang pag-insulto sa ating lahi in the bid to justify its immoral, undemocratic conquest of our lands. Bald Eagle exponent of imperialism Sen. Albert J. Beveridge had the racist nerve to describe us as "not of a self-government race," and no less than fatso US President William Mckinley rationalized their conquest by claiming Filipinos are "unfit for self-government."

Sa mga hindi nakakaalam, ang Digmaang Pilipino-Amerikano (1899-1914), na sa matagal na panahon ay pilit na minamaliit ng Kalbong Agila bilang isang lamang "insureksyon" (nguni't napilitang itinama rin noong bandang 1980s sa records ng U.S. Library of Congress bilang "Philippine-American War), ay isa sa mga PINAKAMAHABA at PINAKAMALAKING giyerang pinasok nito labas sa Ikalawang Digmaang Pandaigdig. Ito ay kung pagbabasehan ang katotohanan na sa kasagsagan ng giyera ay nasa three quarters ng buong puwersa ng militar ng Amerika ay naka-deploy sa Pilipinas at umalis lamang ng buo ang mga sundalong Amerikano noong 1914.  

Maliban pa sa walang dangal na trickery ginamit ng Kalbong Agila, ang naging reaskyon ni Aguinaldo sa paghuli sa kanya ay nakakasulasok din. Instead of fighting the enemies to death if necessary as any military leader of a fighting nation is honorably expected to, he rather easily yielded to the imperialists. Ang masama pa, wala pang isang linggo mula nang mahuli ay sumumpa na ito katapatan sa kaaway na Estados Unidos.

Aguinaldo & Funston

Sinayang ni Aguinaldo ang pagkakataong linisin kahit papaano ang mga krimen niyang "asasinasyon" (terminong ginamit ni Apolinario Mabini) kina Supremo Andres Bonifacio at Hen. Antonio Luna, ika nga ni Julio Nakpil....na nagpatotoong siya rin ay pinagplanuhan ipapatay ni Aguinaldo. To quote Nakpil, it was "a cowardly act" not fighting his captors [and eventually swearing loyalty to the Bald Eagle]. Indeed, it was a cowardly act that demoralized the Philippine Republic soldiers and Katipuneros who kept fighting and laid to waste the bloody sacrifices of the likes of Gen. Gregorio del Pilar and men who let him escape while they delayed the pursuing imperialists.

Then again, his capture and swift swearing of fealty to the enemy only revealed Aguinaldo's true colors. A power-grabbing "leader" driven more by personal ambition and who coveted, and tried to maintain his hold on, the presidency by hook or by assassinating crook. By the way, Aguinaldo's full capitulation to the imperialist Americans got him handsomely paid--at least 300 hectares of choice friar lands that adjoin his Imus, Cavite hometown.

At hanggang ngayon ay narito pa rin ang mga pwersa ng Kalbong Agila sa bansang Pilipinas. Napatalsik nga ang mga Base Militar noon 1990s subali't ang mother treaty, ang RP-US Mutual Defense Treaty (MDT) [translation: really more of U.S. Imperialistic Defense] ay hindi ginagalaw. Kung kaya nga't nariyan pa rin ang Visiting Forces Agreement, ang tagong pakikialam tulad ng pagsira sa kandidatura at pagpatay kay Claro M. Recto at pagtutulak sa Moro substate, ang sinasabing tagong base militar sa Mindanao, ang panghahalay at pagpatay sa ilang mga Pilipina at Pilipino tulad ni Gregan Cardeño. Ang mga Aguinaldo ay hindi naman talaga nawala sa kapangyarihan o impluwensya kahit paano mula noon hanggang ngayon--pinaka-kilala na siguro si Cesar Virata, at hawak nila na naman ngayon ang lokal na kapangyarihan sa ilang bahagi ng Cavite.

At pati yung mga nauna nang yumakap sa kaaway na Amerikano mula sa kampo ni Aguinaldo, yang sina Pedro Paterno, Felipe Buencamino, at Cayetano Arellano--ang mga tulad nila ay namamayagpag pa rin. Ang pinakanakakasuka dito ay ang "Pangulo" B.S. Aquino na sinasabing iniluklok na patago ng--hulaan ninyo--Kalbong Agila sa pamamagitan ng kalokohang HOCUS PCOS na halalan noong Mayo 10, 2010 (nataong ika-113 na anibersaryo pa ng utos na pag-assassinate ni Aguinaldo sa inagawan-niya-ng-posisyon na si Supremo Andres Bonifacio)......... Ang nagsasabi lang naman na nakialam (na naman) ang Amerika sa halalan ng mga Pinoy ay ang rebolusyonaryong si Jose Maria Sison, ang Asian Nobel Prize recipient na si Nicanor Perlas, at ang napaka-ma.prinsipsyong at maka-simbahan na si JC de los Reyes.

Mukhang mawawala lamang ang damhong imperyalistang Kalbong Agila sa bayang ito pag ito ay bumagsak na. Ang ekonomiya niya ay medyo naghihingalo na kung kaya para na itong isang leong ulol de desperado na lahat ay gustong sakupin using puppet rebels in the guise of spreading and promoting "democracy" (yuk, our fallen freedom fighters should be tossing violently in their graves). Anupaman, hintay na lamang siguro tayong mga Pilipino/Tagalog/Taga-Ilog....
