Lesson 1: Initializing

Writings of Jose Rizal, Particularly His Novels Noli Me Tangere and El
Filibusterismo,
Authorizing the Printing and Distribution Thereof, and for Other Purposes.
The Rizal law, in any case, was emphatically restricted by the Christian church
much appreciated to the anti-clerical subjects that were pertinent in Rizal’s books
Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo.
Senator Claro M. Recto was the main proponent of the Rizal Bill. He sought to
sponsor the bill at Congress. However, this was met with stiff opposition from
the Catholic Church.
During the 1955 Senate election, the church charged Recto with being a
communist and an anti-Catholic.
After Recto's election, the Church continued to oppose the bill mandating the
reading of Rizal's novels Noli Me Tángere and El Filibusterismo, claiming it would
violate freedom of conscience and religion.
Groups such as Catholic Action of the Philippines, the Congregation of the
Mission, the Knights of Columbus, and the Catholic Teachers Guild organized
opposition to the bill; they were countered by Veteranos de la Revolucion (Spirit
of 1896), Alagad ni Rizal, the Freemasons, and the Knights of Rizal.
The Senate Committee on Education sponsored a bill co-written by both José P.
Laurel and Recto, with the only opposition coming from Francisco Soc
Rodrigo, Mariano Jesús Cuenco, and Decoroso Rosales
Section 2 mandated that the students were to read the novels as they were
written in Spanish, although a provision ordered that the Board of National
Education create rules on how these should be applied.[3] The last two sections
were focused on making Rizal's works accessible to the general public: the
second section mandated the schools to have "an adequate number" of copies in

their libraries, while the third ordered the board to publish the works in
major Philippine languages.
The debate during the enactment of the Rizal Law has been compared to
the Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act of 2012 (RH Law)
debate in 2011.[8] Akbayan representative Kaka Bag-ao, one of the proponents of
the RH bill, said, quoting the Catholic hierarchy, that "More than 50 years ago,
they said the Rizal Law violates the Catholic's right to conscience and religion,
interestingly, the same line of reasoning they use to oppose the RH bill.
