R.A. 1425
Rizal Law
R.A. 1425
The Jose Rizal Law, also known as Republic Act 1425 by Senator Claro M. Recto,
was approved on June 12, 1956, and published in the Official Gazette of the
Philippines in the same month.
Rizal Law is an act to include in the curricula of all public and private schools,
colleges, and universities courses on the life, works, and writings of Jose Rizal,
particularly his novels Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo, authorizing the
printing and distribution thereof, and for other purposes.
What is the importance?
The Rizal law is very important in our lives as Filipinos because Dr. Jose P.
Rizal plays a significant role in the heritage and history of the
Philippines. Rizal’s literary novels immortalize life in the Philippines
during the Spanish era and the strong desire for freedom and
independence.
