He was studying law in the University of Santo Tomas in 1894 when he joined the
Katipunan at the age of 19. He took the alias of �Pingkian�, which means �to
strike� (like you do with a bolo). He became Bonifacio�s closest advisor, and
oversaw the financial affairs of the Katipunan. When Bonifacio and him drafted
separate moral codes which would guide the actions of the revolutionaries,
Bonifacio acknowledged Jacinto�s intellect and chose the younger jacinto�s draft
for publication in the Kartilya. The code of conduct showed that a good heart, and
love are needed in order to relieve the suffering of the Filipino people; the true
meaning of freedom.

Jacinto became the editor of Kalayaan, the Katipunan�s newspaper. After the first
publication, the membership of the Katipunan rose from 300 to 3,000 members! The
effectiveness of the Kalayaan is attributable to its use of concepts and
colloquialisms familiar to the people. In one article, Jacinto wrote the parable of
a beautiful woman appearing before a child in tears. The child asked the woman who
she was, and she replied �Because of my desire, the people have united and have
foregone their self-interest only to set their sights on the good of all. My name
is FREEDOM�. Under the nom de guerre Dimas-Ilaw, Jacinto wrote the narrative
�Liwanag at Dilim� (Light and Dark) and the poem �a la Patria�.
