1. Discuss in your own understanding, "How a Rizal bill becomes a Law?"

- The Rizal Law, officially designated as Republic Act No. 1425, mandates all educational institutions in
the Philippines to offer a course on the life, works, and writings of national hero Dr. Jose Rizal. The
process of a bill becoming a law involves it being filed in the Senate Office of the Secretary, then
debated and voted on by both houses of Congress before being signed into law by the President.

In order for a bill to become a law in the Philippines it must go through several steps. First, the bill
must be filed in the Senate Office of the Secretary. After this step it will be referred to a committee for
review and then sent back to both houses of Congress for debate and voting. If both houses pass the
bill with majority votes it will then be sent to the President for approval or veto. If approved by the
President it will become an act or law.

The Rizal Bill was created for the Filipino people and its significance today is that it helps to educate
people about José Rizal's works and their importance. It also ensures that mature, well-instructed
readers are not exposed to any serious danger to their faith or morals.

4. Appraise the development of nationalism in the country.

- The development of nationalism in the Philippines has been shaped by a number of factors,
including the opening of the country to international trade, the rise of Filipino intellectuals such as
Jose Rizal, and the emergence of a shared language, religion, and culture among Filipinos. Nationalism
has also been closely linked to democratic development in the Philippines, with nationalism seen as
both a prerequisite and a corollary of Philippine democratic development.

The growth of Filipino nationalism has been largely attributed to Jose Rizal, who is often referred to as
the "Father of Filipino Nationalism" and the "First Filipino". Rizal's writings helped to inspire a sense of
national identity among Filipinos and encouraged them to fight for their rights. This ultimately led to
the Philippine Revolution in 1896, which saw Filipinos successfully gain independence from Spanish
colonial rule.

Since then, Filipino nationalism has continued to grow and evolve. It has become an important part of
Filipino identity and is seen as essential for maintaining national unity and promoting social progress.
