1. In no more than three (3)sentences, answer the following questions:

a. Why did the Catholic Church actively oppose the passing of the Rizal Bill?
Church leaders accused the bill's sponsor, Senator Recto, of being anti-Catholic and
communist. The final bill included a provision that allowed Catholic students to avoid reading
Rizal's works because of conscientious objections.
b. What provision from the Rizal Bill allowed the government to approve
it that answers the arguments provided by the Catholic Church?
The restrictions imposed by the Catholic Church on the Rizal bill allowed the government to
approve it in response to the church's arguments. Furthermore, if the bill is passed, Catholic
schools have threatened to close in protest. Recto quickly countered that if this occurred,
schools would be nationalized, which the church did not want.
c. Did the Church's views on the study of Jose Rizal's life and works
changed over the years? Why or why not?
I believe the Church's perspectives on Rizal's life and work have evolved over time, but the
values for which Rizal fought cannot be realized by spreading lies and exaggerations about a
Philippine institution that plays an important role in Filipinos' lives. The issue is not only the
status of Catholicism in the Philippines, or the rise or fall of Rizal's glory; it is also about having a
truer, fuller picture of ourselves as a nation, our institutions, and our heroes; without this, we
will be unaware of our nation's strengths and weaknesses, blind to both our achievements and
mistakes, and thus unable to make wise decisions about our future.
2.In no more than three (3) sentences, answer the following questions:
a. What is the Rizal Law all about?
Republic Act 1425 is the basis for the introduction of the Rizal course as a prerequisite for all
students enrolled in various colleges and universities. At a time when the country's identity is
fading, this law encourages Filipinos to develop a stronger sense of nationalism. Rizal Law
instills a sense of patriotism in our hearts and minds, as well as teaches us lessons from all of
our history's events.
b. Why do we need to study the Rizal Law?
We must study Rizal Law because it is a required subject for all college students under
Republic Act 1425. Aside from that, learning about Rizal may inspire students to rededicate
their lives to the libertarian and nationalist values for which our heroes fought and died.
Furthermore, by studying Rizal's life, works, and writings, we can honor our national hero for
devoting his life and efforts to developing the Filipino character and obtaining an inspiring
source of patriotism.
c. What can you benefit from studying Jose Rizal's life and works?
I hope to gain a better understanding of the significance of Rizal's principles and teachings in
light of current societal conditions and events by studying Rizal's Life and Works. It may also
inspire students to apply such values to contemporary societal and personal issues. Finally, to
gain a better understanding and appreciation for everything Rizal fought and died for.

literary piece, "The Council of the Gods (El Consejo del los Dioses)?"Justify your

important as Filipinos strive to discover themselves and look to other countries for assistance.
