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. BE A RESPONSIBLE STUDENT ! REFERENCES: BOOK INTERNET JOSE RIZAL Life, Works and Writings (GREGORIO F.
