Why Study Rizal?

• It is of great importance that students understand the rationale


behind having to take up a Rizal course in college. For high
school students, the Noli Me Tangere and the El Filibusterismo
are injected into the Filipino subject as part of the overall
curriculum. In tertiary education, however, Rizal is a subject
required of any course, in any college or university in the
Philippines.

• What is the importance of studying Rizal?

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
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.
