ACTIVITY 1

Essay.

Directions: According to what you have learned from the previous discussion, answer the
following question. Write your answer on the space provided below.

What is the importance of studying Rizal?


To recognize the importance of Rizal's ideals and teachings in relation to present conditions and
situations in the society. To encourage the application of such ideals in current social and personal
problems and issues. To develop an appreciation and deeper understanding of all that Rizal fought and
died for.

What relevance does Rizal have in college education?


_Learning about the life of Jose Rizal is essential to anyone who has ever experienced
colonialism and how the imperialist country that dominates the colony exerts rules and
regulations that are not always fair. In Rizal's case, his country (the Philippines) was once
a colony of Spain. As it often happens, Spain was making demands and setting rules that
hurt the Pilipino community. Rizal was one of the first opponents of such regulations and
he was both outspoken and actively participating in different manifestations to denounce
the injustice.

As a typical martyr of a cause, Rizal stood out from other protesters in that he was poised, extremely
well-educated (he was a medical doctor), intelligent, charismatic, and loved by the people. Those are the
main characteristics of a true leader, and Rizal possessed them all. This means that he could also make a
great study on leadership styles. He was a warrior without the need for war, and his fight against the
injustices committed against his country were both truthful and worthy.
Another factor on martyrdom is sacrifice. Rizal ultimately paid with his own life the unfair tactics of
factions who accused him falsely of belonging to sectarian movements.

Another awesome study in leadership, Rizal represents every man and woman who has ever lost their
own lives to the consequences of the very cause that they tried to go against. Ultimately, it took a long
time to get to where the Philippines finally got their independence from Spain. Therefore, Rizal's
influence over the independence movement was both symbolic and necessary for this significant and
historic change to happen.

Why Jose Rizal is considered foremost National Hero and not Andres Bonifacio nor
Emilio Aguinaldo?

Recommended by US Governor Taft The Americans recommended Rizal because of the


fact that he was executed by the Spaniards and of his peaceful way to achieve liberty.
Unlike Andres Bonifacio whose desire to achieve independence for his native land
required armed approach._

Explain the significance of the passage of R.A. 1425 which is known as the Rizal law.

The Rizal Law, also known as RA 1425, mandates the study of Rizal’s life and
works, as shown in section 1. This Republic Act calls for an increased sense of
nationalism from the Filipinos during a time of a dwindling Filipino identity.
According to the judicial system, a republic act is a law that has already been
passed and implemented. In contrast to this, a bill is merely a proposed law, in
other words it may or may not be passed by the Congress.
The full name of the law is An Act to Include in the Curricula of All Public and Private Schools, Colleges
and Universities Courses On the Life, Works and Writings of Jose Rizal, Particularly His Novels Noli Me
Tangere and El Filibusterismo, Authorizing the Printing and Distribution Thereof, and for Other Purposes.
The measure was strongly opposed by the Roman Catholic Church in the Philippines due to the anti-
clerical themes in Noli Me Tángere and El Filibusterismo.

If you are one of the senators, will you support or oppose the bill of Rizal Law. Why or
why not?

Do you think the debates on the Rizal Law have some resonance up to the present? If yes, in what way? If
no, why?

yes in a way that aims to awaken dedicated Filipino in each of us and will make
us ready to accept our flaws and expect greater sacrifices to attain freedom and
value our heroe's life during their fight against Spaniard, Besides the debates on
the Rizal Law tell us that we Filipinos believe that knowledge of history can make
us better citezens.

What is the effect of the liberalism and democracy to the political changes in the
Philippines during the Spanish time?
