1. Do you think that the passage of the Rizal bills into a law warranted the objectives that the
sponsors conceived in 1956? Explain your answer.
- Yes. As a result of the bill being passed by President Ramon Magsaysay, the aims of the
sponsors of the bill were justified. The Rizal bill made a lot of statements that
encouraged a lot of Filipinos to appreciate their country. Many would have opposed this
rule, but because of its aims of making Rizal’s life and works known to young people.
And it has made its way to becoming a law with the aim of giving value to nationalism
and patriotism that would make a difference to the perspective of the young Filipinos.
It was justified because the writings of Rizal are taught by schools, universities and
colleges, whether public or private, Catholic school or not. This became an asset to the
nation because, like what Rizal did, this molds the young Filipinos to be future leaders
who will serve and fight for the country. It was also a way for young Filipinos to be
taught self-reliance, self-respect and independence to rule the Philippines. What was
conceived by the sponsors in 1956 was justified, because ever since 1956 the country
made leaders to serve and govern the country up until today.
Many Filipinos opened their eyes as a result of the passage of the Rizal law. It paid
tribute to our national hero for dedicating his life to shaping the Filipino character and
his works. It is only fair that Filipinos, particularly young people, know and learn to
accept the great ideals for which the hero died. No student has formally demanded an
exemption from reading Rizal’s novels so far.
2. Do you think that the objectives were attained thereafter and that their attainment resonated
until the present? Expound your answer.
- It hasn’t completely accomplished its goals for me. This goal was clearly achieved in
terms of the curriculum in all schools, colleges and universities that teach Rizal’s
writings, work and life. But not many young people really apply their teachings. Today,
some Filipinos prefer to close their eyes and don’t care what the country is going
through.
In terms of being patriotic, some Filipino choose to not care. For me, some Filipinos are
not studying to represent the Philippines, but other nations are preferring to work
abroad rather than work in the country here. That is why I believe that not all of this
law’s aims have completely achieved their objectives, especially in the present. Maybe it
opened the Filipinos’ eyes, but not all of them.
As far as the aim of paying tribute to our heroes is concerned, we have accomplished
this. The writings, works, and life of Ri
