Answer:
The Major Argument Raised by Sen. Francisco Rodrigo against the passage of the Rizal Bill The Noli-Fili or better known as the Rizal Bill was famous as one of the most controversial bills passed in the Philippines. Under normal circumstances, when new laws are proposed, it prompts a debate between the upper house and the lower house of the Senate and the House of Representatives before it could be officially approved as a law. But, in the case of the Rizal Bill, things became anomalous, it was due to the fact that the church was getting involved with the debate on the proposal of such bill. Where in fact, the church should be separated from the state, as it was clearly stated in the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines, Article II, Section 6, which is still the core and backbone of our country as of today. The bill was brought up by Senator Recto, the purpose of the bill was to mandate all educational institutions in the Philippines to offer courses about Jose Rizal. Thus, the study about Rizal's two most famous novels, Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo, which were both given as subject courses in high school. However, there were three senators who opposed such bill. One of them was Senator Francisco Soc Rodrigo, Senator Rodrigo was a devout Catholic and had close ties with the CBCP or the Catholic church.
