Why Study Rizal?
The answer to such questions can be summed up in two points:
1. First and foremost, because it is mandated by law.
2. Secondly, because of the lessons contained within the course itself.
Let us discuss those reasons one by one:
WHY STUDY RIZAL: BECAUSE IT IS MANDATED BY LAW
The teaching of Jose Rizal’s life, works, and writings is mandated by Republic Act 1425, otherwise
known as the Rizal Law. Senator Jose P. Laurel, the person who sponsored the said law, said that
since Rizal was the founder of Philippine nationalism and has contributed much to the current
standing of this nation, it is only right that the youth as well as all the people in the country know
about and learn to imbibe the great ideals for which he died. The Rizal Law, enacted in 1956, seeks
to accomplish the following goals:
1. To rededicate the lives of youth to the ideals of freedom and nationalism, for which our heroes
lived and died
2. To pay tribute to our national hero for devoting his life and works in shaping the Filipino
character
3. To gain an inspiring source of patriotism through the study of Rizal’s life, works, and writings.
WHY STUDY RIZAL: BECAUSE OF THE LESSONS CONTAINED WITHIN THE COURSE
Aside from those mentioned above, there are other reasons for teaching the Rizal course in
Philippine schools:
1. To recognize the importance of Rizal’s ideals and teachings in relation to present conditions
and situations in the society.
2. To encourage the application of such ideals in current social and personal problems and
issues.
3. To develop an appreciation and deeper understanding of all that Rizal fought and died for.
4. To foster the development of the Filipino youth in all aspects of citizenship.
