    Republic Act 1425, also known as the Rizal Law, requires all schools in the Philippines to include Jose Rizal's life, works, and writings in their curriculum. The law aims to promote nationalism and patriotism by educating students about Rizal, who sacrificed his life fighting for Philippine independence from Spanish colonial rule. While some argue Rizal should not be the sole national hero since he did not directly lead the revolution, others believe he deserves the title for inspiring the revolutionary movement through his powerful novels and poems, which awakened Filipino nationalism without resorting to violence.

    1. What is the significance of R.A. 1425?

    Jose Rizal's huge role in attaining the nation's freedom led to the establishment of
    Republic Act 1425. The Republic Act 1425, commonly known as the Rizal Act, was
    established 12th of June 1956 by Senator Claro M. Recto. It requires the curricula of
    private and public schools, colleges and universities courses to include the life, works
    and writings of Jose Rizal, particularly his novels Noli Me Tangere and El
    Filibusterismo. According to the Official Gazette, the law was made effective on
    August 16, 1956. It is significant because, there is a need for a re-dedication to the
    ideals of freedom and nationalism for which our national hero lived and died. Also, It
    is meet that in honoring Jose Rizal, we remember with special fondness and devotion
    his life and works that have shaped the national character. In my opinion, the life,
    works and writings of Jose Rizal particularly his novels Noli Me Tangere and El
    Filibusterismo, are a constant and inspiring source of patriotism with which the
    minds of the youth, especially during their formative and decisive years in school,
    should be suffused.

    2. Who made Rizal our foremost hero? Why?

    Rizal himself, his own people, and the foreigners all together contributed to make
    him the greatest hero and martyr of his people. He is a hero because he died for the
    Philippines. He wasn't afraid to express himself about the Spaniards who were taking
    advantage of the Filipinos. He wrote Noli me Tangere and El Felibusterismo to show
    the cruelties inflicted by the Spaniards to the Filipinos. Since the spaniards had the
    weapons necessary to conquer a country, the Filipinos had to obey them or get killed
    in the process. He became the National hero of the Philippines because he was one
    of those people who were ready to stand up and fight for the country.
    3. How would you justify the proclamation of Rizal as the National Hero of our
    country?

    There are a lot of discussions regarding this topic about the proclamation of Rizal as
    the National Hero of our country. There are some authors who are not in favor for
    Rizal as our National Hero. They said Rizal should not be since he repudiated the
    revolution which for some other countries, their national hero was a leader of
    revolution. Some thought Rizal should not be as such because he is not from the
    group of masses. He is an elite personality during his time. Rizal wrote two
    controversial books that opened the eyes of the Filipinos. Bonifacio fought with force
    and might, with the Filipinos. how come Rizal gets more glory?

    Being a Filipino, I have nothing against the proclamation of Jose Rizal as our National
    Hero. He inspired most of the revolutionaries not by fighting with swords but by
    writing with the pen to demoralize the enemy and to inspire people of gaining
    freedom. 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.
