Insights On Chapter 1 Lesson #1 The Rizal Law (R.A.1425)
1425)
The study of Rizal's life and works is required under the Rizal Law,
commonly known as RA 1425, as can be seen in section 1. This Republic
Act urges the Filipino people to develop a stronger feeling of nationalism
at a time when their national identity is diminishing. By educating the
Filipino people about the life and contributions of our National Hero, who
has dedicated his entire life to serving his nation, the Rizal Law
demonstrates the importance of education. Through a variety of social
science fields, it introduces the Filipino to the beauty of studying Jose
Rizal's life and writings. Beyond simply introducing students to living
during Rizal's day, it seeks to foster in Filipinos not only a love of learning
but also a sense of nationality and patriotism.
