Rizal as a Mandated Subject

WHY STUDY RIZAL: BECAUSE IT IS MANDATED BY LAW

The teaching of Jose Rizal’s life, works, and writings is
mandated by Republic Act 1425, otherwise known as the Rizal Law.
Senator Jose P. Laurel, the person who sponsored the said law,
said that since Rizal was the founder of Philippine nationalism
and has contributed much to the current standing of this nation,
it is only right that the youth as well as all the people in the
country know about and learn to imbibe the great ideals for which
he died.

Recommended Readings:

3. “Republic Act no. 1425, The Rizal Law,” in Philippine
Official Gazette, June 12, 1956.

One of the objectives of the Rizal Law is to awaken the

sense of patriotism and nationalism of every Filipino
youth, such that there is a need for our people to
rededicate our nation to the ideals of freedom and
nationalism. Our heroes lived and died for these ideals.

Moreover, since the law was passed in1956, how much do you
really know your national hero?
