I. OVERVIEW

For our first week, we will be able to explain the history of Rizal Law
or also known as Republic Act 1425 and its’ important provisions! We are going to
dig deeply the why of this subject and the relevance of taking it! The Rizal Law is
more than just a law. It preserves and teaches the youth to be proud of their
motherland. The law shows the mighty deeds of the colonized Filipinos. It is not to be
taken lightly or to be made fun of because through this law the future
generations will have the same sense of nationalism that we do.
