A Reflection on The Life and Works of Rizal

After reading a modules about life and works of Rizal, I understand that the importance
why we need to study this subject.

Recalling back to my Junior High School days I can remember that I have studied
thebook Noli Me Tangere along with El Filibusterismo as thoseare his famous novels. We all
know about his background story how he was a ladies’ man and how he was part of the
ilustrados. Both of his novels were powerful and it seemed as if he was making a metaphor out
of what is happening in the society at that time which led to his own persecution against the
government. Jose Rizal was often described as a man who was intelligent, open-minded,
hardworking and has a strong sense of freedom. He really wanted to have freedom in the
Philippines from the Spain, so that Filipinos would stand on its own ground and not to be
controlled by any other countries.

I realized that his books made a great impact to us Filipino people. He made himself a
legacy because his books inspired us to be patriotic and he taught us a great lesson that we
should not let anyone or any country control us.

Republic Act 1425 will help the people know the roots and history of our brave national
hero and how he completely changed the Philippines with his works and sacrifices.

RIZAL LAW

Republic Law No. 1425, or simply Rizal Law, orders the educating of the life, works and
compositions of Dr. Jose Rizal for all open and tuition based schools, universities and colleges,
just as the printing and circulation of his account and works (Republic Law No. 1425, 1956).
Discussions on this demonstration followed between Senators Recto and Laurel, individually,
who composed and supported the demonstration, and Senators Rodrigo, Cuenco, and Rosales,
who accepted this demonstration was another attack on the Catholic Church.

on June 12, the date of our freedom, the demonstration was delivered. I accept this was aimed at
arousing in every one of us the valid, submitted Filipino. It was distributed in 1956, the year our
country was all the while recuperating from the colonization of Japan and depending on help
from the United States. Notwithstanding this time, the Filipinos actually required another
insurgency to battle for opportunity, in spite of the shortfall of trespassers. The Filipinos didn't
have to depend on different nations, however to stand up alone, as did Rizal in the battle for
freedom previously. The Filipinos needed to get back to their nation's patriotism and confidence.
Notwithstanding the sluggish decrease in the Filipino character.

Our Filipino patriotism is vanishing right now. We Filipinos, especially the young, will embrace
different societies in this globalized world. We need love for our own country and will in general
adjust unfamiliar culture, also called provincial attitude. Dr. Jose P. Rizal, our public saint, is a
decent model of patriotism and nationalism, especially for the adolescent.
