    Senator Jose P. Laurel filed a bill in 1956, known as the Rizal Law, to require Jose Rizal's novels Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo as required readings in universities. The bill faced opposition from some senators and Catholic clergy who argued it would violate freedom of religion. However, supporters like Claro M. Recto fought for the bill, saying it was needed to promote nationalism. The bill eventually passed in June 1956 and was signed into law, but implementation faced further resistance. It was not until 1994 and 1996 that presidents fully enforced making Rizal's works a mandatory part of the curriculum.

    letter.
