M1L1: Rizal Law | While task 1

The three things that I significantly learned from the videos and the readings are; objectives of theRizal
law, utilization of patriotism, and hindrances under the preceding acceptance of RA 1425.Briefly, RA
1425 is an act that includes life, works, and writings of Rizal in the curricula. Itintends to revive history,
pay tribute to our national heroes and furnish students with intentionto love our nation. Lastly, prior to the
approval of Rizal law, catholic churches gave dispute andultimatum against, due to the violation of
freedom conscience, and religion.

The first thing that is unclear to me is, given that Dr. Rizal has never been explicitly proclaimed as the(or
even a) national hero by the Philippine government, why did they choose Rizal as a modelfor younger
generations out of countless heroes? Second, according to professor Xiao, the lawaims to nurture
patriotism within Filipinos and provide knowledge about history, are courseslike history in the
Philippines inadequate? and will we become nationalist enough? Lastly, whydo we study the law ‘RA
1425’ in life, works, and writings of Rizal course?.

I used to think that the subject ‘life, works, and writings of Rizal’ and reading of Noli Me Tangere andEl
Filibusterismo are not compulsory and only taken by selective field of courses. Also, I just
recentlydiscovered that there is no proof that Rizal wrote “Sa aking mga kabata’ and also used to think
that heis our ‘official’ national hero .

The three questions that I want to ask about the movies and the readings are:

1. What happened to the assumptions of catholic churches, that implementing this law would take
awaythe faith of youth?
2. Are catholic churches and priests still against Rizal law up to this time?
3. Finally, Do catholic schools required their students to read Noli Me Tangere and El
Filibusterismoeven if they are exempted?
The three things that I
significantly learned from the
videos and the readings are;
objectives of the
Rizal law, utilization of
patriotism, and hindrances
under the preceding acceptance
of RA 1425.
Briefly, RA 1425 is an act that
includes life, works, and
writings of Rizal in the
curricula. It
intends to revive history, pay
tribute to our national heroes
and furnish students with
intention
to love our nation. Lastly, prior
to the approval of Rizal law,
catholic churches gave dispute
and
ultimatum against, due to the
violation of freedom
conscience, and religion.
The first thing that is unclear to
me is, given that Dr. Rizal has
never been explicitly
proclaimed as the
(or even a) national hero by the
Philippine government, why did
they choose Rizal as a model
for younger generations out of
countless heroes? Second,
according to professor Xiao, the
law
aims to nurture patriotism
within Filipinos and provide
knowledge about history, are
courses
like history in the Philippines
inadequate? and will we
become nationalist enough?
Lastly, why
do we study the law ‘RA 1425’
in life, works, and writings of
Rizal course?.
I used to think that the subject
‘life, works, and writings of
Rizal’ and reading of Noli Me
Tangere and
El Filibusterismo are not
compulsory and only taken by
selective field of courses. Also,
I just recently
discovered that there is no proof
that Rizal wrote “Sa aking mga
kabata’ and also used to think
that he
is our ‘official’ national hero .
The three questions that I want
to ask about the movies and the
readings are:
What happened to the
assumptions of catholic
churches, that implementing
this law would take away
the faith of youth?
Are catholic churches and
priests still against Rizal law up
to this time?
Finally, Do catholic schools
required their students to read
Noli Me Tangere and El
Filibusterismo
even if they are exempted?
