DIRECTION: Briefly discuss your answer for the following questions. Use a
separate paper for your answers.

1. Are you in favor of the Republic Act 1424 declaring Jose Rizal as our
national hero? Why or why not?
ANSWER:

Yes, I am in a favor of the Republic Act no. 1424 that declaring Jose
Rizal as our national hero. Because he sacrifices his life for us so that he can
gives us the freedom and peace in our country

2. In our present time, who do you consider as a hero? Why?

ANSWER:

Today I consider as my hero are my parents, because just like Jose

Rizal they also sacrifice their life for me they do everything just to make
sure that I am safe, that I am not struggling in anything. So that’s why
for me my parents are my hero.

3. In the Republic Act No. 1425, what provision/s would you like to
change? Why?
ANSWER:

In the Republic Act No. 1425, for me there no provision/s that need to
be change. I am in favor in that Republic Act that private and public
schools, colleges and universities courses should include works and
writing of Jose Rizal. Because Jose Rizal writings and work are deserved
to be include in our school works and if we continued to learn it will
never be going to be forgotten and it will be still patronizing even through
many years had passed.

4. Among the issues on the proclamation of Rizal as national hero, discuss

one issue that you think has a valid reason.
ANSWER:

He was regarded as an “American-made hero”.

I read the article from Philippine reporter, this issue I think has a
valid reason where it states that although Rizal was already a revered
figure and became more so after his martyrdom, it cannot be denied that
his pre-eminence among heroes was partly a result of American
sponsorship. There are two forms of sponsorship: on one hand that of
encouraging a Rizal cult, on the other, that of minimizing the importance
of the other heroes or even of vilifying them. There’s no question that
Rizal had the quality of goodness, his patriotism cannot be denied, being
a martyr to oppression, obscurantism and bigotry.

among the students?

As a student Rizal Law which is promoting the nationalism among

the student is effective because at least we can still remember and
patronized our own nation nalism.
