THE RIZAL LAW
The Rizal Law is about implementing rules to educate people
about the Life, Works, and Writings of our national hero Dr. Jose
Rizal, especially his novels Noli Me Tangere and
El Filibusterismo. This is to give the students and the future
generations an ample background and for them to understand
about how Jose Rizal hands over his life for our
country.
