The values and principles that Rizal has exemplified in his life
and works are still applicable in today’s society. His teachings and
advocacies on freedom, justice, and equality have inspired generations
of Filipinos to stand up for their rights and fight for a better
future. Additionally, the Rizal Course is also an effective way of
instilling a sense of nationalism among the citizens and encouraging
them to become more involved in the development of their country.

as an inspiring reminder of the importance of standing up for one’s beliefs
and ideals. It has helped to shape the Filipino identity and has come to be

quoted by Filipino politicians, public figures, and everyday citizens alike
and serves as a reminder of the importance of upholding the values of freedom,
justice, and equality.
