After the bill was issued, the Church wrote a pastoral letter saying that if the bill was passed, unity can never be formed from within the country. This became a huge controversy for both sides argued regarding the passage of the bill. People who were in favour of this bill were Claro Recto and Senator Laurel while those people against it were Mariano Cuenco, Francisco Rodrigo and Decoroso Rosales.[next]
14. //question 12 cont. Claro M. Recto claimed that without Rizal’s works, there would not be a Filipino bishop today. Rizal’s novels showed the people’s desire for political freedom and social order. Rizal’s aim was to encourage Filipino nationalism and his means of doing it was writing the actual situation of the Philippines. On the opposition, Rodrigo, Cueno and Rosales claimed that unity will never be established and it would only result to a crisis. People who will read the novel were said to lose religious faith since the novel implies the cruelty of the church and it contained errors of the church doctrine. The novel reveals a false idea of the country’s condition towards the reader. [next]
15. //question 12 cont. The arguments of the two sides are both understandable but Claro Recto’s claims were more believable. The novels were not intentionally created to attack religion or the church for that matter. Its sole purpose was to open the eyes of the Filipino about their situation before and it is possible to have no relation to the present.
16. Do you think studying Rizal’s life, works and writings are still relevant today? Why? //question 13 Yes, it is still relevant because it shows a part of history that people can reflect back into. Filipino culture can also be seen in Rizal’s works and it can be a symbol of Filipino nationalism.
