III. Discussions (Answer from No. II).

1. The bill's author, Claro M. Recto, claimed that its sole goal was to preserve
the legacy of our national hero in every Filipino, whether they were children
or adults. He wished to emulate Rizal's brave struggle for our
independence, not to oppose religion. He put up such a fierce fight for
it—even against the Catholic Church—that it was practically implied he
would receive "punishment" at the following elections. Every Filipino should
uphold the same patriotic, moral, political, and social ideals as Rizal did,
according to him. And what better way to do this, but to make reading his
works compulsory.
His goal was to educate the next generation the civic virtue of putting the
common good ahead of personal desires rather than criticizing the
church's doctrine and today's clergy. It wasn't for his own benefit, but rather
for the benefit of the nation's future generations. It was heavily focused on
his conviction that doing so would promote the youth's patriotism and
sense of Filipino identity.

2. R.A. 1425, in the entirety of it, is the Rizal Law, which centers on Dr. Jose
Rizal's works Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo, is a law that seeks to
educate and inform Filipinos about the Life, Works, and Writings of our
national hero. This is done in an effort to provide kids and the next
generation a rich history lesson and help them understand how Rizal
devoted his life in the struggle for our nation's freedom. I admire Recto's
desire to inform the public about Rizal's actions that inspired him to defend
 our nation in his own unique way. The passing of this measure
demonstrated to us how to defend our own nation even when it is not
being invaded by foreigners. It demonstrates to us that we love our own
nation despite its flaws as well as its opponents outside.

4. The bill was finally passed on May 17, 1956 and was signed into law as
Republic Act 1425 by President Ramon Magsaysay on June 12 of the
same year.

5. April 17, 1956, Senate committee on Education Chair Jose P. Laurel

sponsored the bill and began delivering speeches for the proposed
legislation.

IV. Write down your arguments.

- I support those who support the Rizal Law.
The opponents are nothing more than fervent Catholics who preferred to
be controlled by friars and priests than to live in freedom as Rizal desired
the Filipinos to.
I condemn those who claim that the Catholic Church showed concern for
regular Filipinos. Nothing was provided free of charge by the Catholic
Church.

V. Write down your conclusions.

- The study of Rizal's life and works is required under the Rizal Law,
commonly known as RA 1425, as can be seen in section 1. This Republic
Act urges the Filipino people to develop a stronger feeling of nationalism at
a time when their national identity is waning. A republic act is a legislation
that has already been passed and put into effect, according to the legal
system. A bill, on the other hand, is only a proposed legislation; as such,
the Congress may or may not enact it. The President signed the Republic
Act on June 12, 1956.
