    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.

    The answer to that question can be summed up in two points:

    First and foremost, because it is mandated by law.

    Secondly, because of the lessons contained within the course itself.


    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
