Introduction and

Rizal Law
RIZAL LAW – Republic Act 1425 (RA
1425)
• 1956 – Senator Claro M. Recto
• Opposed by the Catholic Church
• Groups such as Catholic Action of the
Philippines, the Congregation of the Mission,
the Knights of Columbus, and the Catholic
Teachers Guild organized opposition to the
bill;
• they were countered by Veteranos de la
Revolucion (Spirit of 1896), Alagad ni Rizal,
the Freemasons, and the Knights of Rizal
Outside the Senate, the Catholic schools
threatened to close down if the bill was
passed; Recto countered that if that
happened, the schools would be
nationalized. Recto did not believe the
threat, stating that the schools were too
profitable to be closed. The schools gave up
the threat, but threatened to "punish"
legislators in favor of the law in future
elections.
A compromise was suggested, to use
the expurgated version; Recto, who had
supported the required reading of the
unexpurgated version, declared: "The
people who would eliminate the books
of Rizal from the schools would blot out
from our minds the memory of the
national hero. This is not a fight
against Recto but a fight against
Rizal", adding that since Rizal is dead,
they are attempting to suppress his
memory.
On May 12, 1956, a compromise inserted by
Committee on Education chairman Laurel that
accommodated the objections of the Catholic
Church was approved unanimously. The bill
specified that only college (university) students
would have the option of reading unexpurgated
versions of clerically-contested reading
material, such as Noli Me Tángere and El
Filibusterismo. The bill was enacted on June
12, 1956, Flag Day.

Who made Rizal the
National Hero of the
Philippines?
19 SEP-2 P5—05 -------- SB 999
Currently, there is no law, executive order,
or proclamation enacted or issued that
officially proclaims any Filipino historical
personage as a "National Hero," hence,
compelling the President, Congress,
national agencies, and local government
units to, individually and sporadically,
declare heroes' days and holidays
19 SEP-2 P5—05 -------- SB 999

National Heroes Committee
– EO 75, series of 1993
• Jose Rizal • Marcelo H. del Pilar

• Andres Bonifacio • Sultan Dipatuan Kudarat

• Emilio Aguinaldo • Juan Luna

• Apolinario Mabini • Melchora Aquino

Criteria for National Heroes
1. Heroes are those who have a concept of
nation and thereafter aspire and struggle
for the nation’s freedom.
2. Heroes are those who define and
contribute to a system or life of freedom
and order for a nation. Freedom without
order will only lead to anarchy.
3. Heroes are those who contribute to the
quality of life and destiny of a nation.
Additional Criteria for Heroes
1. A hero is part of the people’s expression.
But the process of a people’s internalization
of a hero’s life and works takes time, with
the youth forming a part of the
internalization.
2. A hero thinks of the future, especially the
future generations.
3. The choice of a hero involves not only the
recounting of an episode or events in
history, but of the entire process that made
this particular person a hero.
Why Rizal?
Nobility and Dignity
What set Rizal apart from the others were his methods.
Instead of relying on the sword, he relied on the might of
the pen. Using this method he was able to produce novels
and poems that touched the Filipino’s soul.
Without resorting to violence, he made Filipinos realize
the oppression they were going through under the
Spaniards. In his poems he also made it clear how
important it was to love one’s country.
It was a noble approach and something unique. Instead of
raising arms, he embedded in the Filipino an idea. Unlike
warriors, an idea cannot be killed. It is this reason why
Jose Rizal is the national hero of the Philippines.
Showing the Filipino potential
Rizal was a brilliant writer and poet. He
was able to speak several languages and
highly skilled. He was able to use his
intelligence to set forth his beliefs and
opinions clearly. As such, he was able to
show his countrymen and the world what
the Filipino could be capable of. By
becoming a novelist, engineer, writer etc
Rizal showed that there was no limit to the
ability of the Filipino.
Fighting for Freedrom
Through his works, Rizal was able to revolutionize the
way that the Filipino thought. That is another reason
why Jose Rizal is the national hero of the Philippines.
Even without making rousing speeches or bold
declarations, he was able to stir the people’s inner
spirit.

He showed that without killing another man, one can

fight oppression. He also demonstrated how the power
of the pen could be stronger than the sword. He also
showed how someone could bring about change
without resorting to violence.
A Reformist
Rizal was also different from the other
revolutionaries in other ways. He didn’t just want
freedom for the people. He wanted reforms.
Through his works he wanted to show how
important it was for the Philippines to be civilized.

The reason why Jose Rizal is the national hero of

the Philippines is because he looked far beyond
overthrowing the Spaniards. He was interested in
the long term situation of the country.
Dying for His Country
Even though he carried no arms, Rizal was very
brave and courageous. He used his pen to expose
the hypocrisy of the Spanish authorities. He was
not afraid of the authorities even when they
threatened him with execution.
In the end, his written works cost him his life. But
he knew that his death was not in vain.
The man knew that while they could kill his
mortal body, the idea of freedom was forever in
the minds of the people.
Dying for His Country
The ideals that he fought for are still alive
today. There are many challenges facing the
Filipino. But the reasons why Jose Rizal is
the national hero of the Philippines
continues to inspire the Filipino to march
on.

CHAPTER 8: NOLI ME TANGERE
PUBLISHED IN BERLIN
● The bleak winter of 1886 was
memorable in the life of Jose Rizal
for two reasons
- It was painful for he was hungry,
sick, and despondent in a strange
city.
- It brought him great joy because
his first novel NOLI ME
TANGERE came off the press in
March 1887.
● Like Santa Claus, Dr. Maximo Viola,
his friend from Bulacan, arrived in
berlin at the height of his
despondency and loaned him the
needed funds to publish the novel.
IDEA OF WRITING A NOVEL ON
THE PHILIPPINES
● His reading of Harriet Beecher
Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin inspired
Dr. Rizal to prepare a novel that
would depict the miseries of his
people under the lash of Spanish
tyrants.
● January 2, 1884 - he opened the idea
of writing a novel about the
Philippines in a reunion of Filipinos
in the Paterno residence in Madrid.
- All voted to do so, among whom
were Pedro, Maximo, and
Antonio Paterno, Graciano Lopez
Jaena, Evaristo Aguirre, Eduardo
De Lete, Julio Llorente,
Melencio Figueroa and Valentin
Ventura.
● the project did not materialize
because those compatriots who were
expected to collaborate on the novel
did not write anything.
● They wanted to write on women,
something that disgusted Rizal.
Thus, he decided to write the novel
alone.
THE WRITING OF NOLI ME
TANGERE
● Towards the end of 1884 he began
writing Noli Me Tangere in Madrid
and finished about one half of it.
● He wrote one half of the second half
of it in Paris in 1885.
● He finished the last fourth of the noli
in Germany.
● He wrote the last few chapters of
noli in Wilhemsfeld in April – June
1886
● He made the final revision in Berlin
in 1886.
● But in a momentary fit of
desperation, he almost threw the
manuscript into the flames – he was
hungry and sick this time.
VIOLA, THE SAVIOR OF NOLI
● During his despondency and misery,
Rizal received a telegram from Dr.
Maximo Viola who was coming to
Berlin.
● He came a few days before
Christmas and was shocked to see
Rizal in such situation.
● Having ample funds Viola gladly
agreed to finance the printing cost of
Noli.
● To save printing expenses, Rizal
deleted certain passages in the
manuscript, including one whole
chapter – Salome and Elias.
- Without Maximo Viola no Noli
Me Tangere.
- No Uncle Tom’s Cabin no Noli
Me Tangere.
RIZAL 101
● February 21, 1887 – the noli was
finally finished and ready for
printing.
● Together with Viola he went to
different printing shops in berlin to
survey the cost of printing.
● They decided to print it in berlin
Buchdruckrei action gesselschalf –
they charge Rizal the lowest prize
300 pesos for 2,000 copies of the
novel.
PRINTING OF THE NOLI FINISHED
RIZAL SUSPECTED AS FRENCH SPY
● One morning the chief of police of
berlin paid a visit to Jose and asked
him for a passport.
● During those days travelling outside
the country without a passport is
possible.
● Jose was given 4 days to produce a
passport or else he will be deported.
● With Maximo Viola, they went to the
Spanish embassy to seek the help of
Spanish ambassador, the Count of
Benomar. Unfortunately, although
the count promise he could help, it
turns out he has no power to produce
a passport to Rizal.
● Being unable to provide a passport
after 4 days, he went to the office of
the German police chief and
apologized for not being able to
produce a passport and asked why he
was to be deported when he did not
commit a crime.
● Apparently, his travelling to the
towns and rural areas arouses
German government’s suspicion that
he is a French spy.
● Back then the relation between
France and Germany is strained on
account of Alsace -Lorraine.
(boundary of France and Germany)
● He was able to prove to them that he
is not a spy but a Filipino doctor and
scientist particularly an ethnologist,
thus it is imperative to him to
observe the custom and lifestyle of
their simple inhabitants.

● March 21, 1887 – the Noli Me
