REPUBLIC ACT 1425
“RIZAL LAW”
THEADVANTAGES
“For Rizal to be a role model for the youth of
his
country.”
According to the Republic Act No. 1425 All Public and Private schools, Colleges and Universities
courses are encouraged, and as well as obliged to study the Life of Dr. Jose Rizal, particularly his
works
such as novels entitled Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo, and poems he wrote. Based on Rizal’s
Poem entitled ‘’A la juventud filipina’’, he emphasized the term of, “Kabataan ang Pag-asa ng Bayan.’’
Since
youth’s minds are still young, they have a greater chance of grasping what Dr. Jose Rizal wants to
convey through his works. By the help of his novels and poems, he is trying to communicate with us,
as a Filipino
youth in order for us to know the significance of freedom and his projection of what can youth do to
meet, and maintain the continuous progres sion of this country. Further, through the hard work and
sacrifices of Rizal, it will serve as knowledge and awareness for the youth to follow the steps he made
for them not to stray into the wrong path. ~Abellada, Christine Joy E.

much even his life will be offered. So, dedicated he created a wonderful and meaningful works
that until now we thank him and honored. His effort and character became a role model to
youth that gives inspirations to you and my fellow Filipino. We, as Filipino has a role and
obligation in this society to improve life, our fellow country men and this country. ~Cainto,
Kent
“To promote a better understanding of our national hero`s role in
fighting for freedom under Spanish colonialism, not to go against in
any religion.”
Because this republic act will enlightened the youth about the importance of freedom and
independence, by knowing our national hero's role in fighting for freedom under Spanish
colonialism. And it is a huge heritage that our heroes have left behind as a result of their
selfsacrifice and have been ha nded on to us, and we now own it. It is our obligation to preserve
and defend it. However according to my perception, it is not really against any religion if you
have a deeper understanding. It just all about the violence of the Spanish Friars towards to
the people in our country, not the religion itself. ~Corpuz, Cherry Mae L.
“Exposes hardship of the Filipinos under the Spanish Regime.”
Some of Rizal`s works and novels such as Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo exposed how the
Filipinos were treated throughout the Spanish Regime. Through the Rizal Law the younger
generation will be aware and reminded of how Filipinos were treated and how they sacrificed
and fought during the Spanish regime to attain our independ ence. Furthermore, exposing
their hardships will be an inspiring source for Filipino patriotism and will give them better
understanding of the past that will make them appreciate the national heroes more. ~de Chavez,
Riah M.
“The Rizal Law makes it mandatory that all state sanctioned schools make the history and works of
Jose Rizal a part of their curriculum. The hope of the order was to keep citizens aware of their
heritage and culture and to remind them of the price they paid to gain their independence .”
This law makes it possible for us to be aware and have the privilege to have a deeper understanding
about the history of our own national hero Jose Rizal from our school. Through this we are enabled to
enlightens the hardship Rizal g o through to gain the independence that we have. It reminds all our
BS IN BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION – 3A PI 100 – THE LIFE AND WORKS OF RIZAL
fellow Filipino about the great-great contribution that Jose Rizal gave to us to be able to experience and
get the freedom that we have as of today. Having this kind of law shows our appre ciation and
gratitude toward his love for our country and our people. This was like our way to pay attributes to him
for committing his life and work in forming the character of us Filipino. ~Durante, Maria Thessa
S.
“Promoting peace and liberty instead of violent action and war in the Philippines.
Aside from giving the independence to the Philippines, Jose Rizal, together with his colleague, aimed to
give the peace and liberty the beloved country against the foreign conquerors, particularly the Spaniards.
To give every Filipinos a right to do what they want, to get what they need and to speak up with their
concerns and thoughts during those Spaniards colonization periods. And Rizal makes it possible for the
country to achieve and reach the freedom that the country should have against the conquering of the
Spain.
This law such a great help for the present days. This will probably make the youth in the present more
knowledgeable about the heroic deeds of the different Philippine National Heroes, specifically Dr. Jose
Rizal. This will make a good sense in terms of equipping or engaging the students and the whole youth
community of
the Philippines to become more persevered to give more freedom for the country for it to give the peace
and liberty for everybody.
Moreover, in this law will engage every students to realize and to get knowledgeable about the true
meaning freedom and liberty through developing one's moral character, self-discipline, civic conscience
and citizenship duties. And lastly, this law brings up to the mind not only of the students, but also to all
Filipinos on
what is the importance of having a freedom and to be independent. ~Epino, Harvey L.

“To encourage the application of such ideals in current social and problems and issues.”
.” This is one of the advantages of Rizal Law. Because it encourages the students or the peoples that the
situation we have been through these years is not much like the time of Jose P. Rizal that there is a war
and it can reminisce that in each challenge we have experienced, we can get the freedom that we are
aiming at. And, as we have learned on our previous classes in high school, Jose Rizal showe d in his
famous works, Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo how the Spaniards conquered the nation, and the
enlightenment about the oppression ad abuse of the Spaniards brought to the country. If we reflect
through the works of Rizal, we can use it and be inspired about how to love our country and become
aware about what is happening in the nation. ~Jamon, Maria Melanie A.

“Spread nationalism across the country through the works of Rizal .”
BS IN BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION – 3A PI 100 – THE LIFE AND WORKS OF RIZAL
Dr. Jose Rizal known for his two novels Noli Me Tá ngere (Touch Me Not) and El Filibusterismo (The Reign of
the Greed) who awakened Philippine nationalism. For him, “the pen was mightier than the sword.” though he
had been very vocal against the Spanish government, but in a peaceful and progressive manner. And through
his writings, he exposed the corruption and wrongdoings of government officials as well as the Spanish
friars. And because of that the authorities banned Filipinos from reading the controversial books. Yet they
were not able to ban it completely. As more Filipinos read the books, their eyes opened to the truth that they
were suffering unspeakable abuses at the hands of the friars. It was written for the Filipino people, specifically
the Filipino youth, who may have lost their sense of nationalism. Rizal endeavored to rekindle a lost spark in
each Filipino’s belief across the country. This nationalism served as the foundation to come up with this
republic act, to set our country free from the hands of others and stand up on our own, this is exactly the
ideals and values that Rizal strove to fight for. He shows love
for our country because he desires unity for his country without any violent actions or any revolution act
towards people who are making themselves as a superior to Filipinos but uses his knowledge . ~Laydia,
Mary Jane F.
“Making the Filipinos realize their flaws and sacrifices to be made in order to attain freedom.”
Dr. Jose Rizal sacrifices his life for the freedom of our beloved country Philippines. He have a good
concept of nation and aspire an struggle for a nations freedom ,he think of future generations, he define
and contribute to nations freedom. We might think that he is just person who fought the Spanish, but
no he is actually a big part of our life , we would still be wi th the Spanish people if it was not for him
that is why the sacrifice he did is very important and as a Filipino it is important to remember and
appreciate the sacrifice
made by Dr. Jose Rizal, He serves as an inspiration to us to do our best to protect the Philippines and
surrender is not the solution to achieve freedom. ~Limon, Jimwel M.
“Implied through this act that national identity is a very important legacy
that our heroes have achieve d through sacrificing their own lives.”
.”
This act also implies promoting of our national heroes especially Dr. Jose P. Rizal (as stated in the
above-mentioned republic act). This act is serves as a stepping stone to honor them with their heroic
deeds and great sacrifices to our country. And if t his legacy of our national heroes was continuously
remembered to the youths of the present, they will become more aware regarding this sacrifices of
them. They can be possibly inspired to honor them and follow their steps in shaping the nation`s image
in t he future. ~Mora, Kimberley B.
“Rizal Law teaches different virtue that can applied in life.”

“.”
Some of the leading virtues that Rizal teaches us are loving and serving our country. We can seen it
from the beginning of the Katipunero's Revolution and other heroes that do self-sacrifice for the
freedom and independence of our country. Furthermore, it taught us to be responsible individual who
have strong conviction to follow our hearts and principle in life. The love of justice and living by
example make way to unleashed us in a century of slavery. Likewise, the noble conducts of
nonviolent proponent of political reforms are emphasized. It is not always the fist fight and bloody
combat that awakes our spirit, it is the realiza tion and opening our eyes on the system we have in our
society. If we are to relate in our modern era it is like how our fellowmen specially those in the field of
journalism and media encourage us to see the society we have. ~Paloma, Aira L.
“To recognize importance of Rizal`s ideas and teachings in
relation to present conditions and situations in the society.
Rizal`s values and teachings can be related to actual societal situations and problems, allowing for a
better appreciation and comprehension of everything that Rizal fought and died for. As young
adults concerned with governing our country`s future, we owe it to ourselves to improve ourselves,
continue to be a hope of our nation and we must never forget Rizal`s sacrifice for our country.
~Umali, Ron Lenord P.
