and El Filibusteris
 And the inclusion of all works and writings of Jose Rizal, not just the two novels, was the main
feature of this bill. He then stressed the removal of the term "compulsion" to appease the
opposition. However, Senator Laurel asserted the importance of reading the original and
unexpurgated edition of Rizal's novels because the true purpose of studying these will be defeated
if not followed. To add a more conciliating clause, the last amendment was proposed – the
provisions regarding the "exemption" of students from reading the two novels on certain condition.

independent country.

Student’s Journal

Reflect on the importance of law in a democratic society. As a law-abiding citizen, what can you do to
uphold the rule of law? What are the implications when the rule of law is eradicated?

Since today, we are experiencing a pandemic

and as a law-abiding citizen, in my own way I will
follow the government health protocol system and
never violate this rule Especially on this day, people
still obey the rules stubbornly. There are still
violators and I don’t want to be a part of that. For me
to be safe from the virus, I must protect myself, my
family and always watch the news since cases are
rising again because of the new spread of the delta
variant. Based on facts, Zamboanga city now has
higher cases that before and still under ECQ. As
much as I want to upload the rule of law, people only
do what they want as long as they benefit it and
COVID19 or not, people will follow the law, not
because they want to, but because they needed to.
