When Emilio Jacinto's father, Mariano Jacinto, had passed away, his mother Josefa Dizon had to work harder as a midwife to support his studies. He completed his Primary and Secondary education at Maestro Pascual Ferrer's school. When he would go to school his fellow classmates would make fun of him because of what he wore at school. His belt was a cut out part of the hem of his mothers skirt. His shoelaces were torn from a black rag. When he completed his education at Ferrer's, he had grown to be strong and quiet; quiet but fearless in any battle.
He was forced to then live with his uncle, Don Jose Dizon, who had enrolled him at the San Juan de Letran College.
He then Transferred to the University of Santo Tomas to take up Law.
His studies were interrupted when he joined the Katipunan at the beginning of the Philippine Revolution in 1896.
Emilio's experience with his Spanish classmates, his sensitivity to the flight of his people and his reading about the Spanish injustices led him to do so against the wishes of his mother and uncle.
He was only 19 years of age, but became one of the ablest leaders of the Katipunan.
