He received his education in +the "Colegio de San Juan de Letran." Manila, and in the University of +Santo Tomas.

Thou shalt love God and thy honor above all things: God as the +fountain of all truth, of all justice and of all activity; and thy +honor, the only power which will oblige thee to be faithful, just and +industrious. + +Second. Thou shalt worship God in the form which thy conscience may +deem most righteous and worthy: for in thy conscience, which condemns +thy evil deeds and praises thy good ones, speaks thy God. + +Third. Thou shalt cultivate the special gifts which God has granted +thee, working and studying according to thy ability, never leaving the +path of righteousness and justice, in order to attain thy own +perfection, by means whereof thou shalt contribute to the progress of +humanity; thus; thou shalt fulfill the mission to which God has +appointed thee in this life and by so doing, thou shalt be honored, +and being honored, thou shalt glorify thy God. + +Fourth. Thou shalt love thy country after God and thy honor and more +than thyself: for she is the only Paradise which God has given thee in +this life, the only patrimony of thy race, the only inheritance of thy +ancestors and the only hope of thy posterity; because of her, thou +hast life, love and interests, happiness, honor and God. + +Fifth. Thou shalt strive for the happiness of thy country before thy +own, making of her the kingdom of reason, of justice and of labor: for +if she be happy, thou, together with thy family, shalt likewise be +happy. + +Sixth. Thou shalt strive for the independence of thy country: for only +thou canst have any real interest in her advancement and exaltation, +because her independence constitutes thy own liberty; her advancement, +thy perfection; and her exaltation, thy own glory and immortality. + +Seventh. Thou shalt not recognize in thy country the authority of any +person who has not been elected by thee and thy countrymen; for +authority emanates from God, and as God speaks in the conscience of +every man, the person designated and proclaimed by the conscience of a +whole people is the only one who can use true authority. + +Eighth. Thou shalt strive for a Republic and never for a monarchy in +thy country: for the latter exalts one or several families and founds +a dynasty; the former makes a people noble and worthy through reason, +great through liberty, and prosperous and brilliant through labor. + +Ninth. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: for God has imposed +upon him, as well as upon thee, the obligation to help thee and not to +do unto thee what he would not have thee do unto him; but if thy +neighbor, failing in this sacred duty, attempt against thy life, thy +liberty and thy interests, then thou shalt destroy and annihilate him +for the supreme law of self-preservation prevails. + +Tenth. Thou shalt consider thy countryman more than thy neighbor; thou +shalt see him thy friend, thy brother or at least thy comrade, with +whom thou art bound by one fate, by the same joys and sorrows and by +common aspirations and interests. + +Therefore, as long as national frontiers subsist, raised and +maintained by the selfishness of race and of family, with thy +countryman alone shalt thou unite in a perfect solidarity of purpose +and interest, in order to have force, not only to resist the common +enemy but also to attain all the aims of human life. + + + + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Mabini's Decalogue for Filipinos +by Apolinario Mabini + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK 14660 *** diff --git a/14660-h/14660-h.htm b/14660-h/14660-h.htm new file mode 100644 index 0000000..710b25a --- /dev/null +++ b/14660-h/14660-h.htm @@ -0,0 +1,222 @@ +<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" + "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> +<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> +<head> +<meta name="generator" content="HTML Tidy, see www.w3.org" /> +<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" +content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> +<title>The Project Gutenberg eBook of Mabini's Decalogue For +Filipinos, by Apolinario Mabini.</title> +<style type="text/css"> +/*<![CDATA[ XML blockout */ +<!-- + P { margin-top: .75em; + text-align: justify; + margin-bottom: .75em; + } + H1,H2,H3,H4,H5,H6 { + text-align: center; /* all headings centered */ + } + HR { width: 33%; + margin-top: 1em; + margin-bottom: 1em; + } + BODY{margin-left: 10%; + margin-right: 10%; + } + .linenum {position: absolute; top: auto; left: 4%;} /* poetry number */ + .note {margin-left: 2em; margin-right: 2em; margin-bottom: 1em;} /* footnote */ + .blkquot {margin-left: 4em; margin-right: 4em;} /* block indent */ + .pagenum {position: absolute; left: 92%; font-size: smaller; text-align: right;} /* page numbers */ + .sidenote {width: 20%; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding-left: 1em; font-size: smaller; float: right; clear: right;} + + .poem {margin-left:10%; margin-right:10%; text-align: left;} + .poem br {display: none;} + .poem .stanza {margin: 1em 0em 1em 0em;} + .poem span {display: block; margin: 0; padding-left: 3em; text-indent: -3em;} + .poem span.i2 {display: block; margin-left: 2em;} + .poem span.i4 {display: block; margin-left: 4em;} + .poem .caesura {vertical-align: -200%;} + // --> + /* XML end ]]>*/ + +</style> +</head> +<body> +<div>*** START OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK 14660 ***</div> + +<h1><b>MABINI'S DECALOGUE FOR FILIPINOS</b></h1> + +<h1><a href="images/002.jpg"><img src="images/002.jpg" border="0" +alt="Apolinario Mabini" width="225" height="321" /></a></h1> + +<br /> + + +<h3>Apolinario Mabini, Martyr.</h3> + +<p>"Thou shalt love thy country after God and they honor and more +than thyself: for she is the only Paradise which God has given thee +in this life, the only inheritance of thy ancestors and the only +hope of thy posterity."</p> + +<h3>PHILIPPINE PRESS BUREAU<br /> +Washington, D.

C. + +1922 + + + + +MABINI + + +Mabini was undoubtedly the most profound thinker and political +philosopher that the Pilipino race ever produced. Some day, when his +works are fully published, but not until then, Mabini will come into +his own. A great name awaits him, not only in the Philippines, for he +is already appreciated there, but in every land where the cause of +liberty and human freedom is revered. + +Mabini was born in Tanawan, province of Batangas, island of Luzon, +P.I., of poor Filipino parents, in 1864. He received his education in +the "Colegio de San Juan de Letran." Manila, and in the University of +Santo Tomas. He supported himself while studying by his own efforts, +and made a brilliant record in both institutions. Later he devoted his +energies to the establishment of a private school in Manila and to +legal work. + +Mabini came to the front in 1898 during the Pilipino revolution +against Spain. In the subsequent revolution against the United States +he became known as "the brains of the revolution." He was so +considered by the American army officers, who bent every energy to +capture him. + +He was the leading adviser of Aguinaldo, and was the author of the +latter's many able decrees and proclamations. Mabini's official +position was President of the Council of Secretaries, and he also held +the post of Secretary of the Exterior. + +One of Mabini's greatest works was his draft of a constitution for the +Philippine Republic. It was accompanied by what he called "The True +Decalogue," published in the pages following. Mabini's "ten +commandments" are so framed as to meet the needs of Filipino +patriotism for all time. He also drafted rules for the organization +and government of municipalities and provinces, which were highly +successful because of their adaptability to local conditions. + +Mabini remained the head of Aguinaldo's cabinet until March, 1899, +when he resigned. But he continued in hearty sympathy with the +revolution, however, and his counsel was frequently sought. + +Mabini was arrested by the American forces in September, 1899, and +remained a prisoner until September 23, 1900. Following his release, +he lived for a while in a suburb of Manila, in a poor nipa house, +under the most adverse and trying circumstances. He was in abject +poverty. + +In spite of his terrible suffering from paralysis, Mabini continued +writing. He severely criticised the government, voicing the sentiments +of the Filipino people for freedom. He was ordered to desist, but to +this, in one of his writings to the people, he replied: "To tell a man +to be quiet when a necessity not fulfilled is shaking all the fibers +of his being is tantamount to asking a hungry man to be filled before +taking the food which he needs." + +Mabini's logic was a real embarrassment to the American military +forces, and in January, 1901, he was arrested a second time by the +Americans. This time he was exiled to the island of Guam, where he +remained until his return to Manila on February 26, 1903. + +Mabini died in Manila, of cholera, May 13, 1903, at the age of 39 +years. His funeral was the most largely attended of any ever held in +Manila. + +Although he died from natural causes, Mabini died a martyr to the +cause of Philippine independence. Five years of persecution left his +intense patriotism untouched, but it had made his physical self a +ready victim for a premature death. + + + + +="THE TRUE DECALOGUE"= + +=By APOLINARIO MABINI= + + +First. Thou shalt love God and thy honor above all things: God as the +fountain of all truth, of all justice and of all activity; and thy +honor, the only power which will oblige thee to be faithful, just and +industrious. + +Second. Thou shalt worship God in the form which thy conscience may +deem most righteous and worthy: for in thy conscience, which condemns +thy evil deeds and praises thy good ones, speaks thy God. + +Third. Thou shalt cultivate the special gifts which God has granted +thee, working and studying according to thy ability, never leaving the +path of righteousness and justice, in order to attain thy own +perfection, by means whereof thou shalt contribute to the progress of +humanity; thus; thou shalt fulfill the mission to which God has +appointed thee in this life and by so doing, thou shalt be honored, +and being honored, thou shalt glorify thy God. + +Fourth.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/old/14660.zip b/old/14660.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..ed1c920 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/14660.zip |
