    The document discusses arguments for and against a bill that would require teaching the life and works of Philippine national hero Jose Rizal in universities. Proponents argue that studying Rizal would help students understand Filipino identity and free minds from oppressive systems. However, opponents counter that Rizal's works are anti-Catholic and could undermine students' faith. The Catholic Church and affiliated groups oppose the bill, fearing it would violate freedom of religion. Critics also accuse the bill's sponsor, Claro Recto, of pushing the bill for political revenge against Catholic voters.
