    Study Notes

    Rizal Law (Republic Act 1425)

    • Context: The US continued to dominate Filipino society (economic, political, cultural, social) a decade after independence in 1946. Nationalists like Laurel and Recto promoted Filipino nationalism and patriotism.

    • Rizal's inclusion in education: Senators envisioned educating youth with Rizal's life, works, and writings to foster nationalism. Sen. Recto's original bill (Senate Bill 438) emphasized using Rizal's novels to strengthen Filipino identity.

    • Rizal Bill timeline: Bills for Rizal's inclusion in education were filed in 1956. Sen. Laurel sponsored Senate Bill 438, and Congressman Gonzales introduced the House Bill 5561. The bill was amended and approved on second reading in May 1956. President Magsaysay signed it into law as Republic Act 1425 in June 1956.

    Reactions to the Rizal Law

    • Opposition: The Catholic Church strongly opposed the law, citing concerns that discussing Rizal's works might criticize Church doctrines. Senators like Francisco Rodrigo and Decoroso Rosales expressed concerns about potential conflicts between the Church and state. Sen. Recto defended the importance of Rizal's works and ideas in fostering nationalism and addressing current societal problems.

    Content of the Rizal Law

    • Inclusion in curriculum: The law requires the inclusion of Rizal's life, works (Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo) and writings in school curricula. The original versions/unexpurgated editions are required for university courses.
    • Library requirement: Libraries are required to have copies of Rizal's works available.
    • Translations: Translations of Rizal's works into Filipino, and other relevant languages are required.

    Lesson 2: Nation, Heroes, and Nationalism

    • Definition of Nation: A community of people with a defined territory and government, sometimes socially constructed rather than fixed/ancient.

    • Definition of Nationalism: An ideology emphasizing one's nation above others, promoting its culture and interests.

    • Definition of Hero: A prominent person in a remarkable action or event, distinguished by valor and fortitude, often venerated after death.

    • Importance of Heroes: Heroes establish national identity, serve as role models, and inspire national aspirations and collective action.

    Lesson 3: The Nineteenth Century Philippines

    • Economic Development: The end of the Galleon Trade in 1815 led to Philippine trade diversification. The Mexican Revolution and trade liberalization affected the Galleon Trade. Gov. Gen. Basco y Vargas tried to boost domestic production and encourage economic autonomy.

    • Political Development: The Cadiz Constitution of 1812 was established in Spain. The Latin American revolutions influenced colonial policies. Opposition and revolts in response to policies, like the Novales Revolt and Palmero Conspiracy, occurred.

    • Social Structure: Colonial society was stratified. (Peninsulares, Insulares, Filipino, mestizo, etc.)

    • Religious Development: The secularization movement emerged, aimed at granting greater rights to Filipino clergy, sparking conflicts with religious orders.

    Lesson 4: The Case of Hacienda de Calamba

    • Hacienda de Calamba: Conflict between Dominican Order landlords and Calamba tenants arose over land ownership and rent. Rizal defended the tenant farmers in the conflict of the friars.

    • Friar Estates: These were lands owned by religious orders, often used for agriculture and generating wealth.

    • Origin of Friar Estates: Initially given to early Spanish conquistadors, contributing to the rise of wealthy landowners in the colony over time.
