Republic Act 1425 or Rizal Law
 It is established on 12th of June 1956 by Senator Claro M. Recto.
 The law requires all schools, colleges, universities, private or
public to include
in their curricula courses on the life and works of Rizal. It also
sates that all
schools are required to have an adequate number of copies of the
copies of the
original and unexpurgated editions of El Filibusterismo and Noli
Me Tangere,
as well as other works and biographies of Rizal.
Early Life
On June 19, 1861, José Protasio Rizal Mercado y
Alonso Realonda was born in Calamba in the
Philippines' Laguna Province. A brilliant student
who became proficient in multiple languages, José
Rizal studied medicine in Manila. In 1882, he
traveled to Spain to complete his medical degree.
Writing and Reform
While in Europe, José Rizal became part of the
Propaganda Movement, connecting with other
Filipinos who wanted reform. He also wrote his
first novel, Noli Me Tangere (Touch Me Not/The
Social Cancer), a work that detailed the dark
aspects of Spain's colonial rule in the Philippines,
with particular focus on the role of Catholic friars.
The book was banned in the Philippines, though
copies were smuggled in. Because of this novel,
Rizal's return to the Philippines in 1887 was cut
short when he was targeted by police.
Execution
Rizal was convicted of sedition and sentenced
to death by firing squad. Rizal's public execution
was carried out in Manila on December 30, 1896,
when he was 35 years old. His execution created
more opposition to Spanish rule.
Spain's control of the Philippines ended in 1898,
though the country did not gain lasting
independence until after World War II. Rizal
remains a nationalist icon in the Philippines for
helping the country take its first steps toward
