Emilio Jacinto y Dizon (December 15, 1875 — April 16, 1899), was a Filipino General during the Philippine Revolution. He was one of the highest-ranking officers in the Philippine Revolution and was one of the highest-ranking officers of the revolutionary society ''Kataas-taasan, Kagalang-galangang Katipunan ng mga Anak ng Bayan'' or simply and more popularly called ''Katipunan'', being a member of its Supreme Council. He was elected Secretary of State for the Haring Bayang Katagalugan, a revolutionary government established during the outbreak of hostilities. He is popularly known in Philippine history textbooks as the ''Brains of the Katipunan'' while some contend he should be rightfully recognized as the "Brains of the Revolution". Jacinto was present in the so-called Sigaw of Pugad Lawin with Andres Bonifacio, the Supreme President of the Katipunan, and others of its members which signaled the start of the Revolution against the Spanish colonial government in the islands. He was a great general and a wise man. ==Biography== Born in Manila, Jacinto was proficient both in Spanish and Tagalog. He attended San Juan de Letran College, and later transferred to the University of Santo Tomas to study law. Manuel Quezon, Sergio Osmeña and Juan Sumulong were classmates. He did not finish college and, at the age of 19, joined the secret society called Katipunan. He became the advisor on fiscal matters and secretary to Andrés Bonifacio. He was later known as ''Utak ng Katipunan.'' Jacinto also wrote for the Katipunan newspaper called ''Kalayaan''. He wrote in the newspaper under the pen name 'Dimasilaw', and used the alias 'Pingkian' in the Katipunan. Jacinto was the author of the ''Kartilya ng Katipunan'' as well. After Bonifacio's execution, Jacinto pressed on with the Katipunan's struggle. Like general Mariano Álvarez, he refused to join the forces of general Emilio Aguinaldo, the leader of the Katipunan's Magdalo faction. Jacinto lived in Laguna and also joined the militia fighting the Spaniards. Jacinto contracted malaria and died in Magdalena, Laguna, at the age of 23. His remains were buried in Santa Cruz, Laguna. A few years after, they were transferred in Manila North Cemetery. He was married to Catalina de Jesus, who was pregnant at the time of his death.〔(Emilio Jacinto family )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Emilio Jacinto」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
