We are gathered in this hall to witness the debate between the two groups, the positive side and the negative side, on the subject retraction of Rizal. On the back, are the adjudicators who will decide the winner between the two sides that have already been able substantial evidence on the subject. This kind of debate followed the Asia parliamentary debate, where each member of each side, both positive and negative, has three members, prime minister, and deputy whip. Each will be given only five to seven minutes to share their arguments and evidence on the subject. After the argument, the parties are given the opportunity to provide their reply speech about other clarification and validation of their arguments. The stage is open for the first speaker. Prime Minister of the Government side: Good morning honorable chair and members of this house I am the prime minister of the government side and according to us, we agree to the retraction of Rizal. Before we start, let me first define retraction. The retraction is defined as the recovery, rejection or denial to what have been said first, or any actions that expresses the changing of attitude of the person who constructed. I also want to introduce the person primarily involved in our debate, Jose Rizal. Who is Rizal? Jose Rizal is the national hero of the Philippines. He was born in Calamba, Laguna on June 19, 1861.

On December 30.1896, Jose Rizal was shot in Bagumbayan, now Rizal Park. We, the government side believes that this document “Retraction of Rizal” is not a product of falsification. Beside the witnesses who saw the actual event, it is also a great evidence that the testimony of an expert in the hand-written document of Rizal named Professor Beyer, Dr.Del Rosario and Teodoro Kalaw. Prime Minister of the Opposition side: Good day madam chair! We, the opposition side, do not believe in the retraction of Rizal. We believe that the said documents were forged.
