Essay: Write in at 5-10 sentences, an essay on the Relevance of the Rizal Law in the Education of the
Filipino. 10 PTS.
Rizal law in the Education of the Filipino is Relevant to students as it requires students to get to know
Rizal deeper, and get to know his stories more. At some point studying Rizal might be irrelevant on some
collegiate programs. But as we all know; Rizal’s writings were a representation of what have happened
before and how those writings of his helped us Filipinos know what’s really happening at that time and
ignited the urge to have our freedom. In that sense, having knowledge about our history will further
expound our patriotism for our country and honor the freedom that we have today and give importance
to the people behind it. Having this in our curriculum may inspire as to become a better citizen of our
country. As said Before, History repeats itself. What happened before might not exactly the same as
what will happened in the future. However, if people are knowledgeable enough on our history we may
see some similarities on occurring and from that, we can prevent it from happening to us again.
