RIZAL LAW
The
Rizal Law, also known as RA 1425,
mandates the study of Rizal's life and
works.
 This
Republic Act calls for an increased
sense of nationalism from the Filipinos
during a time of a dwindling Filipino
identity.

The Republic Act was signed by the President on June 12, 1956.

According to the Official Gazette, the law was made effective
thirty days after its implementation. The mere fact that the Act
was passed on the date of our independence seeks to stir up a
greater sense of fervor in the Filipino, to believe in their own
country and national identity who we are as a nation.

It was this time when the Philippines was heavily dependent on
the American government for support and guidance. Also,
based on the fact that Jose Rizal is honored by the Philippines
as the Philippine national hero, it is but appropriate that the
document written to commemorate his accomplishments is
written here, in the land of his birth.
 It
is Senator Claro M. Recto who authored the
Rizal Bill.
 While
Senator Jose P. Laurel, Sr., who was then
the Chairman of the Committee on Education,
sponsored the bill in the Senate.
 Both
of them were known for their great sense of
nationalism. This nationalism served as the foundation
to come up with this republic act, to set our country
free from the hands of others and stand up on our
own, exactly the ideals and values that Rizal strove to
fight for. It was written for the Filipino people,
specifically the “Filipino Youth”, who may have lost
their sense of nationalism. The writers endeavored to
rekindle a lost spark in each Filipino's belief in their
country.

To rededicate the lives of youth to the
ideals of freedom and nationalism, for
which our heroes lived and died;

To pay tribute to our national hero for
devoting his life and works in shaping the
Filipino character;

To gain an inspiring source of patriotism
through the study of Rizal’s life, works,
and writings;
The Importance of Studying Rizal
The
academic subject on the life, works,
and writings of Jose Rizal was not
mandated by law for nothing.
The
following are just some of the
significance of the academic subject:
 It
teaches Nationalism and Patriotism

Nationalism involves the desire to attain
freedom and political independence,
especially by a country under foreign power.

While patriotism denotes proud devotion
and loyalty to one’s nation.

Jose Rizal’s life, works, and writings—
especially his novels—essentially, if not
perfectly, radiate these traits. For one thing,
the subject helps us to understand our
country better.
 It
provides various essential life lessons
-We can learn much from the way Rizal faced various
challenges in life. As a controversial figure in his time, he
encountered serious dilemmas and predicaments but
responded decently and high-mindedly.
-Through the crucial decisions he made in his life, we
can sense his priorities and convictions which manifest
how noble, selfless, and great the national hero was.
-For example, his many resolutions exemplified the
aphorism that in this life there are things more
important than personal feeling and happiness.

Rizal can serve as a worthwhile model and
inspiration to every Filipino
-If one is looking for someone to imitate, then Rizal is a
very viable choice. The hero’s philosophies, life principles,
convictions, thoughts, ideals, aspirations, and dreams are
a good influence to anyone.
-Throughout his life, he valued nationalism and
patriotism, respect for parents, love for siblings, and
loyalty to friends, and maintained a sense of chivalry. As a
man of education, he highly regarded academic
excellence, logical and critical thinking, philosophical and
scientific inquiry, linguistic study, and cultural research. As
a person, he manifested versatility and flexibility while
sustaining a strong sense of moral uprightness.
The
subject is a rich source of entertaining
narratives
-People love fictions and are even willing to
spend for books or movie tickets just to be
entertained by made-up tales. But only a few
perhaps know that Rizal’s life is full of
fascinating non-fictional accounts.
