Q

Q
  • The R. A. 1425 just caused havoc within educational
    institutions. Take the case of UP a couple of years
    after this law’s implementation. The UP Student
    Catholic Action and numerous publications and
    students were pushed to go against their President,
    Dr. Singco because they feel that the University is
    starting to become godless. It has just caused a
    mass confusion between faith and nationalism.

17
Q
  • The faith of the people is being
    compromised. This law is endangering
    the Christian growth of the students who
    are still in their formative years. This can
    drive the youth to question the
    credibility of the church and its
    teachings and traditions.
A

18
Q
  • According to a survey that we have
    conducted in our university, the Rizal
    course is not actually significant for the
    students. It has just been a laborious
    subject that adds unnecessary work load
    to students, and it sometimes drives the
    students to lose focus on their majors.
