The Story of The Rizal Law

In 1956, Senator Claro M. Recto file a measure of instilling heroism among youth by
founding the original Rizal Bill. It was the time when the country was ravaged by the
Hukbalahap insurgency. The imperialist presence in the form of American influence was strong
in the country’s economy and political policies.

P olitical: The Philippines became part of the global network to contain the spread of
communism with the conclusion of the mutual defense agreement with the United
States in 1951 and it’s joining the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO).

E conomic: The United parity rights granted in the Philippine Constitution which allowed the
Americans to exploit the country’s natural resources.

This was the time when Recto submitted his bill, calling for a return to patriotic values
enunciated by Filipino heroes like Jose Rizal. Under the bill, it shall be obligatory for college and
university students to study the life and works of Jose Rizal. The issuance of the bill was not
welcomed by various quarters, particularly the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church assailed
the Rizal Bill as anti-Church because it forces the students to read Rizal’s work like the Noli Me
Tangere and El Filibusterismo which contain passages that were anti-Church. The church
further notes that forcing the students to read Rizal’s works would be a violation of the
constitutional freedom of religion and of conscience.

Among the Catholic organizations which opposed the bill was the Accion Catolico which
was formerly headed by Senator Francisco “Soc” Rodrigo. Priests attended and actively
participated in the hearings of the Senate. After a month-long standoff, a compromise bill was
filed. It was authored by Senator Jose Laurel and it was based on the proposals of Senators
Roseller Lim and Emmanuel Pelaez. On June 12, 1956, Republic Act No. 1425, better known as
the Rizal Law, came into effect. The Rizal Law is more than 50-year-old now, and it may need
revisions to make it more relevant.

he 19th Century was a century of change. During the last two decades of the previous century,
the age of enlightenment reached its zenith in France, culminating in the French Revolution of
1789. In this age, ideas of freedom, liberty and equality, and the belief in the sovereignty of the
people in determining government thundered across Europe. The French revolution resulted in
the toppling of the monarchy following the establishment of Napoleon Bonaparte’s French
Empire and the restored Bourbon dynasty, the ideas of philosophers such as Jean-Jacques
Rousseau, Montesquieu, Francois-Marie Arouet (Voltaire), and Englishman John Locke spread
around the world like a conflagration. Eventually, the struggle for equal rights has spread over

Childhood Years in Calamba

Calamba was named after a big native jar. It was a hacienda town which belonged to
the Dominican Order, which also owned all the lands around it. Un Recuerdo A Mi Pueblo (In
Memory of My Town) is a poem about Rizal’s beloved town written by Rizal in 1876 when he
was 15 years old and was student in the Ateneo de Manila.
The first memory of Rizal in his infancy was his happy days in the family garden when
he was three years old. Another childhood memory was the daily Angelus prayer. By nightfall,
Rizal related, his mother gathered all the children at the house to pray the Angelus. Rizal’s
memory during his infancy also was the nocturnal walk in the town, especially when there was
a moon. The death of little Concha brought Rizal his first sorrow. At the age of three, Rizal
began to take a part in the family prayers. When Rizal was five years old, he was able to read
haltingly the Spanish family bible. At the age of five, Rizal began to make sketches with his
pencil and to mold in clay and wax objects which attracted his fancy. Sa Aking Mga Kabata (To
My Fellow Children) was Rizal’s first poem in native language at the age of eight which reveals
Rizal’s earliest nationalist sentiment. At the age of eight, Rizal wrote his first dramatic work
which was a Tagalog comedy.

Influences on the hero’s boyhood

Rizal got his influence with the people in three bases.

1. Hereditary influence
2. Environmental influence

3. Aid of Divine Providence

Tio Jose Alberto, studied for eleven years in British school in Calcutta, India and
had traveled in Europe inspired Rizal to develop his artistic ability.

Tio Manuel, a husky and athletic man who encouraged Rizal to develop his frail
body by means of physical exercises.

Tio Gregorio, a book lover, intensified Rizal’s voracious reading of good book.

Father Leoncio Lopez, the old and learned parish priest of Calamba, fostered
Rizal’s love for scholarship and intellectual honesty.

under the leadership of Lamadrid, Filipino sergeant rose in violent mutiny because of the
abolition of their usual privileges. Fathers Mariano Gomez, Jose Burgos, and Jacinto
Zamora were executed at sunrise of February 17, 1872, by order of Governor General
Izquierdo. The martyrdom of Gom-Bur-Za in 1872 truly inspired Rizal to fight the evils of
Spanish tyranny and redeem his oppressed people. Rizal dedicated his second novel, El
Filibusterismo, to Gom-Bur-Za.

SUMMARY:

1. In 1956, Senator Claro M. Recto file a measure of instilling heroism among youth by
founding the original Rizal Bill. The Catholic Church assailed the Rizal Bill as anti-Church
because it forces the students to read Rizal’s work like the Noli Me Tangere and El
Filibusterismo which contain passages that were anti-Church. On June 12, 1956,
Republic Act No. 1425, better known as the Rizal Law, came into effect.

2. 19th Century was a century of change. In this age, ideas of freedom, liberty and equality,
and the belief in the sovereignty of the people in determining government thundered
across Europe. And this resulted to an effect in the life of the Filipinos in the Philippines.

3. The complete name of Jose is Jose Protacio Rizal Mercado Y Alonzo Realonda. He was
born on June 19, 1861 and had ten siblings.

4. Sa Aking Mga Kabata (To My Fellow Children) was Rizal’s first poem in native language
at the age of eight which reveals Rizal’s earliest nationalist sentiment. At the age of eight,
Rizal wrote his first dramatic work which was a Tagalog Comedy.

5. The first teacher of Rizal was his mother, who was remarkable woman of good character
and fine culture. He also had tutors namely; Maestro Celestino, Rizal’s first private tutor
and Maestro Lucas Padua was second. A former classmate of Rizal’s father, Leon Monroy
became Rizal’s tutor that instructed Jose in Spanish and Latin.

6. The martyrdom of GomBurZa in 1872 truly inspired Rizal to fight the evils of Spanish
tyranny and redeem his oppressed people.

Acquire New Knowledge:

Ateneo Municipal, a college under the

supervision of the Spanish Jesuits. It was
formerly known as Escuela Pia (Charity
School), a school for poor boys in Manila
which was established by the city
government in 1817. On June 10, 1872, Rizal
accompanied by Paciano went to Manila.
Father Magin Ferrando, the college registrar,
refused to admit Rizal in Ateneo for two
reasons:

1. he was late for registration; and

2. he was sickly and undersized for his

age.

Because of the intercession of Manuel Xerez Burgos, nephew of Father Burgos, Rizal was
reluctantly admitted at the Ateneo.

Jose was the first of his family to adopt the surname “Rizal”. He registered under this
name at Ateneo because their family name “Mercado” had come under the suspicion of the
Spanish authorities. Rizal was first boarded in a house outside Intramuros, on Caraballo Street.
This was owned by a spinster named Titay who owed the Rizal family the amount of 300 pesos.

Jesuit system of education trained the character of the student by rigid discipline and
religious instructions. Students were divided into two groups: Roman Empire which consists of
internos (boarders) and has a red banner and Carthaginian Empire which also composed of the
externos (non-boarders) and has blue banner. Each of these empires had its ranks. The best
student in each empire was the emperor; the second best, tribune; the third best, decurion; the
fourth best, centurion; and the fifth best, stand-bearer.

The Ateneo students in Rizal’s time wore a uniform which consisted of “hemp-fabric
trousers” and “striped cotton coat” The coat material was called rayadillo.

FIRST YEAR IN ATENEO (1872-1873)

Father Jose Bech was Rizal’s first professor in Ateneo whom he described as a “tall thin
man, with a body slightly bent forward, a harried walk, an ascetic face, severe and inspired,
small deep-sunken eyes, a sharp nose that was almost Greek, and thin lips forming an arc
whose ends fell toward the chin. During this first year, Rizal wa given a first prize for being the
brightest pupil in the whole class. To improve his Spanish, Rizal took private lessons in Santa
Isabel College during the noon recesses. He paid three pesos for those extra Spanish lessons.
At the end of the school year in March, 1873, Rizal returned to Calamba for summer vacation.
When the summer vacation ended, Rizal returned to Manila for his second-year term in
Ateneo. This time he boarded inside Intramuros at No. 6 Magallanes Street. His landlady was
an old widow named Doñ a Pepay.

SECOND YEAR IN ATENEO (1873-1874)

At the end of the school year, Rizal received excellent grades in all subjects and a
gold medal. The first favorite novel of Rizal which made a deep impression on him was the
Count of Monte Cristo by Alexander Dumas. At this year, Rizal persuaded his father to buy
him the set of Universal History by Cesar Cantu that was a great aid in his studies. Dr.
Feodor Jagor- a German scientist-traveler who visited the Philippines in 1859-1860 who
wrote Travels in the Philippines -Rizal was impressed in this book because of (1) Jagor’s
keen observations of the defects of Spanish colonization (2) his prophecy that someday
Spain would lose the Philippines and that America would come to succeed her as colonizer.
THIRD YEAR IN ATENEO (1874-1875)

Rizal’s grades remained excellent in all subjects but he won only one medal—in
Latin. At the end of the school year (March 1875), Rizal returned to Calamba for the summer
vacation. He himself was not impressed by his scholastic work.

FOURTH YEAR IN ATENEO

On June 16, 1875, Rizal became an interno in the Ateneo. Padre Francisco de Paula
Sanchez, a great educator and scholar, one of Rizal’s professors who inspired him to study
harder and to write poetry. Rizal described this Jesuiot professor as “model of uprightness,
earnestness, and love for the advancement of his pupils.” During this year, Rizal topped all
his classmates in all subjects and won five medals at the end of the school term.

LAST YEAR IN ATENEO (1876-1877)

Rizal’s studies continued to fare well. As a matter-of-fact, he excelled in all subjects. The
most brilliant Atenean of his time, he was truly “the pride of the Jesuits.” On March 23,
1877, Commencement Day, Rizal, who was 16 years old, received from his Alma Mater,
Ateneo Municipal, the degree of Bachelor of Arts, with highest honors. During this year,
Rizal joined an extracurricular like Marian Congregation, a religious society wherein Rizal
was an active member and later became the secretary. Rizal cultivated his literary talent

studied painting under the famous Spanish painter, Agustin Saez, and sculpture under
Romualdo de Jesus, noted Filipino sculptor.

Rizal carved an image of the Virgin Mary on a piece of batikuling (Philippine hardwood)
with his pocketknife. Father Lleonart was impressed by Rizal’s sculptural talent, requested him
to carve for him an image of Sacred Heart of Jesus. It was Doñ a Teodora who was first
discovered the poetic genius of her son, and it was also her who first encouraged him to write
poems. However, it was Father Sanchez who inspired Rizal to make full use of his God-given gift
in poetry. Mi Primera Inspiracion (My First Inspiration), 1874 was the first poem Rizal probably
wrote during his days in Ateneo which was dedicated to his mother on her birthday; Rizal wrote
it before he was 14 years old.

MEDICAL STUDIES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF SANTO TOMAS (1877-1882)

 After finishing the first year of a
course in Philosophy and Letters (1877-
1878), Rizal transferred to the medical
course. On April 1877, Rizal who was then
nearly 16 years old, matriculated in the
University of Santo Tomas, taking the
course on Philosophy and Letters because
his father like it and he was “still uncertain
as to what career to pursue.” Father Pablo
Ramon, Rector of Ateneo, who had been
good to him during his student days in that
college, asking for advice on the choice of a
career but unfortunately, he was in
Mindanao. It was during the following term
(1878-1879) that Rizal, having received the
Ateneo Rector’s advice to study medicine.
During Rizal’s first school term in the
University of Santo Tomas (1877-1878),
Rizal also studied in Ateneo. He took the
vocational course leading to the title of
perito agrimensor (expert surveyor). Rizal
excelled in all subjects in the surveying
course in Ateneo, obtaining gold medals in
agriculture and topography. On November
25, 1881, the title was issued to Rizal for
passing the final examination in the
surveying course.

Rizal, who was then 18 years old, submitted the poem A La Juventud Filipina (To the
Filipino Youth). It is an inspiring poem of flawless form. Rizal beseeched the Filipino youth to
rise from lethargy, to let genius fly swifter than the wind and descend with art and science to
break the chains that have long bound the spirit of the people.

This winning poem of Rizal is a classic in Philippine literature for two reasons:

1. it was the great poem in Spanish written by a Filipino, whose merit was recognized by
Spanish literary authorities; and

2. it expressed for the first time the nationalistic concept that the Filipinos, and not the
foreigners, were the “fair hope of the Fatherland.”

The Board of Judges, composed of Spaniards, was impressed by Rizal’s poem and gave
the first prize which consisted of a silver pen, feather-shaped and decorated with a gold ribbon.

Another allegorical drama written by Rizal which he entered in the literary contest of
Artistic-Literary Lyceum in 1880, El Consejo de los Dioses (The Councils of the Gods), to
commemorate the fourth centennial of the death of Cervantes was a literary masterpiece based
on the Greek classics. The prize was awarded to Rizal. A gold ring on which was engraved the
bust of Cervantes. D.N. del Puzo, a Spanish writer, who won the second prize.

Junto al Pasig (Beside the Pasig), a zarzuela which was staged by the Ateneans on
December 8, 1880, on the occasion of the annual celebration of the Feats Day of the Immaculate
Conception, Patroness of the Ateneo. Rizal wrote it as President of the Academy of Spanish
Literature in Ateneo.
 A Filipinas is a sonnet written by Rizal for the album of the Society of Sculptors; in this
sonnet, he urged all Filipino artists to glorify the Philippines.

Rizal mentioned Turumba (wherein the people dancing in the streets during the
procession in honor of the miraculous Birhen Maria de los Dolores) in Chapter VI of Noli Me
Tangere and Pagsanjan Falls in his travel diary (united States—Saturday, May 12, 1888), where
he said that Niagara Falls was the “greatest cascades I ever saw” but “not so beautiful nor fine as
the falls at Los Bañ os, Pagsanjan.”

University of Santo Tomas in 1880 whose members were called Companions of Jehu, members
of the society who’s after the valiant Hebrew general. Galicano Apacible, Rizal’s cousin from
Batangas who is the secretary of the society.

Rizal found the atmosphere at the University of Santo Tomas suffocating to his sensitive
spirit. He was unhappy at this Dominican institution of higher learning because;

Assessment:
1. If given the intelligence like Rizal, would you continue studying other courses? Why and
Why not? 5 points

It’s a big YES, for me because aside from this course there another course that I want to learn
with so when there is a chance I will grab it. It is not about the intelligence but the willingness to
learn. Intelligent like Rizal or not I would definitely still want to pursue another course.

2. What are values that we can get from Rizal’s life during his higher education. Give at least
two and explain each. 10 points

Focus on your goals. It is important to focus on one’s goal in order for it to be achieved and
realized. Like Jose Rizal on his ultimate goal in eliminating injustice and maltreatment against
the colonizers, he dreamed that one day the country will gain freedom and independence
which are realized through and by his masterpieces. He did awaken the fire in each
countrymen’s heart that leads them to the victory which we are right now enjoying.

First trip to Europe

 Jose Rizal left Manila on May 3, 1882. He left Spain with the blessings of his brother
Paciano and his uncle, Antonio Rivera, his sisters, and some close friends. He decided not to seek
his parents’ blessing knowing they would never approve of his plan. He secured endorsements
from Pedro Paterno. His first stop was in Singapore; Colombo in Sri Lanka; Aden in Yemen; and
crossed the entire length of the Suez Canal. They landed at Port Said, Egypt, Naples in Italy; and
disembarked in Marseilles, France.

assigned to watch over Jose Rizal. After a review of the Noli Me Tangere, it was found out that
the book was heretic, impious, unpatriotic, subversive, and injurious to the government of Spain
in the Philippines. It was recommended that the importation, reproduction, and the distribution
of the book should be prohibited. Gov. General Terrero requested Jose Rizal to leave the
country.

Years of Exile in Dapitan

On his arrival, he was met by Apolinario Mabini, Andres Bonifacio, Ambrosio Salvador, Pedro
Serrano Laktaw, Deodato Arellano, and other patriots. They met in Ilaya Street and formed the
La Liga Filipina (The Filipino League). He took train in Tutuban and visited Maloloas, Bulacan;
San Fernando, Pampanga; Tarlac; and Bacolor Pampanga.
 Handbills were found in Lucia’s pillows entitled “Pobres Frailes”. Jose Rizal admitted
that those bills belonged to him. He was ordered arrested by Despujol. He was ordered exiled in
Dapitan, North Zamboanga. He was handed over to Capitan Ricardo Carnicero, the political
military governor of Dapitan, an isolated Spanish outpost in Northern Mindanao.

Rizal won in a lottery with Captain Carnicero and Fransico Equilor. He bought land in
Talisay. He had a house, a clinic, and a school constructed on his land. While being imprisoned in
Dapitan, he continued to correspond and send various species of plants, animals, and insects to
other European Scientists.

He discovered some animal species

and it was named after him; Rhacophorus
rizali (a frog), Apogonia rizali (a beetle),
and draco rizali (a flying dragon).

He also constructed a huge relief

map of Mindanao at the town plaza with the help of Fr. Sanchez. He helped in the livelihood of
the people. He modelled an invention on a Belgian example of making bricks and taught the
people to run a cooperative to ensure they have income from buying and selling abaca and its
products. Poems written while he was in Dapitan were “El Canto del Viajero” and “A Ricardo
Carnicero.” And he did an operation on his mother’s eyes.

Rizal also studied native medical plants of Dapitan so he could prescribe these to his
patients. Mr. George Tauffer was brought to Rizal in Dapitan with Josephine Bracken to cure for
his eye ailment.

Dr. Pio Valenzuela arrived in Dapitan with a blind man, Reymundo Mata. Dr. Valenzuela
imparted to Jose Rizal the intents of the revolution.

Dr. Ferdinand Blumentritt updated Jose Rizal on world events. He suggested that Rizal
volunteer his services to the Spanish government and join forces as a doctor in Cuba as a means
of ending his exile. Gov. Gen. Ramon Blanco granted Jose Rizal’s request. On July 30, 1896, he
was granted a safe conduct pass. Rizal returned to Manila on board the steamer Espań a.

Assessment:

1. With the proliferation of modernization and the presence of globalization, do millennial

give justice to the sacrifices of our hero? If no, cite at least two things to help them
realize the sacrifices of our hero. And if yes, why do you say so? 10 points.
For me today's generation didn't give justice to the sacrifices of our hero. In some ways the youth
nowadays are mostly addicted to social media and new cultural changes. Technologies slaves
perhaps. There are others also who might have neglected their responsibilities as a Filipino citizen.
We barely recognize what Rizal has done towards the freedom of our country. I can only prefer to
help some of us realize the sacrifices of our Hero is that there should be a campaign upon the works
of Rizal for we all know his pieces are brilliant and interesting to some. There will be people that will
be hooked. Although it is really within us individuals if we would embrace what je has done for us.
We owe Jose Rizal the freedom that we have now. Some at least should be thankful for he/she can
do things what is forbidden before in our ancestor’s era.

2. What are the reasons of Rizal’s execution? How do you think this execution affect on the
Philippine Revolution? 10 points.

When Rizal returned to the Philippines in 1892, the local Spanish authorities
considered his works were inflammatory, and he was sentenced to house detention in
Dapitan, Zamboanga. Rizal was imprisoned in Fort Santiago in October 1896, and hanged on
December 30, 1896, after outright insurrection broke out (not with his cooperation). Under
American administration, his bones were dumped in an unmarked grave at the Paco
Cemetery until 1898, when they were moved to the iconic Rizal monument in Luneta Park
(former Bagumbayan Field). After the Philippine Revolution, which was sparked in part by his
writings, he was executed by the Spanish colonial authorities for the crime of insurrection.
Despite the fact that he was not actively involved in its organization or execution, he finally
approved of its objectives, which resulted to Philippine independence.
