"Almario's book" writes Renato Constantino, "is an important contribution to the revival of the interest in understanding of the philosopical and literary outputs of the leaders of the Katipunan. In analyzing the writings of Bonifacio and Kcinto which he calls the literature of the Katipunan, the author succesfully rescues Bonifacio from another character assasination by disputing the general impression that he was not a man of thought. "Panitikan clearly establishes that the literature of the Katipunan was not a mere echo of the French Revolution via the writings of the ilustrado propagandists; neither was it mechanically based on the Payson as some academics contend. Almario demonstates the originality and creativeness of the Katipunan literature which constituted a counter consciousness for the period. It could still be the core of a counter consciousness for the present if the ideas of the Katipunan on foreign domination, equality, and humanity were popularized,.
