R.A 1425 or otherwise known as An Act to Include in the Curricula of All Public and Private Schools, Colleges and Universities Courses On
the Life, Works and Writings of Jose Rizal, Particularly His Novels Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo, Authorizing the Printing and
Distribution Thereof, and for Other Purpose. It was a law authored by the late Senator Claro M. Recto and the late president and senator,
Jose P Luarel which aimed to teach the student to offer their selves to the ideals of nationalism and patriotism to which our heroes live and
die for. (Chua,2014). An act that will deliberately be challenged not only by other Philippine senate but also by the Catholic Church. The
fight for the enactment of the Rizal law was never easy for both of its proponents. According to Xiao Chua a history professor from De La
Salle University, the reason why the Rizal Law was important for both of its author is because that in 1956 where our culture was bounded
on the interest of the United States of America even we are fully a independent country, the two senators are fearing that we may fully
forget our identity as a Filipino and we were slowly turning into” brown American of Asia”. 1.1 How it became a Law According to the book,
“State and society in the Philippines” by Donna Amoroso, Claro M. Recto was met by the allegations during the 1956 Senatorial election
and labeled as communist by the Catholic Church. After the 1956 senatorial election, the late senator Claro M. Recto authored the law and
during the deliberation of this law, the Church threatened to close down its schools if the senate will approve the bill. Claro M. Recto did not
believe the threat of the catholic church believing that that schools are so profitable to be closed( Chua, 2014) and state that its ok if the
catholic schools will be closed, the government will then turn them into public schools ( Amoroso,2010 ) . The bill was objectified by 3
senators in the senate namely, Francisco Soc Rodrigo, Mariano Jesús Cuenco, and Decoroso Rosales. Senator Cuenco castigates Rizal’s
objection of the idea of the purgatory and said that even the people in Sulu believe in the concept of the Purgatory. Outside the senate
people who objectified the passing of the bill was mostly part of the Catholic Church. Archbishop Rufino Santos of Manila issued a pastoral
letter stating that the faith of the catholic students will be strongly affected if these students will read the expurgated version of the 2 of his
books. In an article published by Manila Bulletin, Arsenio Lacson, the mayor of Manila and a supporter of the bill walked out of the mass
after the pastoral letter was reading during the mass. People from Catholic community marched for objectifying the law are met by the
Veteranos de la Revolucion (Spirit of 1896), Alagad in Rizal, the Freemasons, and the Knights of Rizal. (Cruz-Araneta,2010) On May
12,1956, Jose P Laurel acknowledge the stands of the catholic church and the bill was passed into law stating that only the colleges or the
Universities have the freedom of reading the expurgated version of the 2 books written by Dr. Jose P. Rizal. The bill was enacted into law
on June 12, 1956. The presidency of Fidel V. Ramos fully applied the law. He ordered the Department of Education, Culture and sport to
fully implement the law since some of the educational institution did not implement the law until his administration in 1994.
