Why Jose Rizal is our National Hero
For me, I agree that Jose Rizal is declared as our national hero for the reasons that: 1) He influenced a movement against Spanish colonizers through a peaceful way 2) He was a selfless, self-denial, and what made him admirable is his complete abandonment of his personal interests and care only of those of the Philippines. 3) Even though the odds were against his favor and has no means at his disposal to carry out his campaign, but that never hindered him. He’s contented with what he has and made something out of it.

Even though the means of declaring him as the Philippine National Hero was made by the American government, he is no doubt worthy of receiving the prestigious title. I found an article stating who should be the national hero: Jose Rizal or Andres Bonifacio. Both people are worthy of receiving recognition as a hero. But for me, Jose Rizal is worthy because of his humanistic approach in fulfilling his propaganda unlike Andres Bonifacio who preferred to shed life in order to achieve freedom. The country needed a national hero and symbol to boost their morale. All who died and made contributions for the country can be treated and recognized as a hero.
