He is an American Sponsored Hero
Jose P. Rizal was sponsored by the Americans during the 1901 Philippine Commission. As the new colonizers of the Philippine islands, the Americans wanted to have a Filipino who can be considered as a hero, and a national hero at that. He was among the five choices of heroes ranging from Marcelo H. Del Pilar to Antonio Luna. The initial winner by a unanimous vote was Marcelo H. Del Pilar. But with the addition of the fifth criteria for electing the Philippine National Hero, Jose Rizal was finally chosen due to his dramatic death by firing squad. It was then further affirmed in Philippine society to this day. Now, knowing the roots of Rizal's selection, would you still have him as your national hero?
Then it should be Manny Pacquiao
Because of Jose Rizal's literary woks that awaken the national consciousness and patriotism of the Filipinos...
No. Andres Bonifacio is one of the Heroes of the country, but he was not declared as a national hero of the country. In fact, despite popular belief to the contrary, nobody, not even Dr. Jose Rizal, has been declared by the Philippine government to be a national hero. Both Bonifacio and Rizal appear on unofficial lists of national heroes. Rizal is popularly called "the national hero", but since Renato Constantino declared in 1970 that Rizal was a "US sponsored hero" and that the Americans deliberately promoted him over Bonifacio to discourage dissent over their colonization of the Philippines, many now think that Bonifacio is a more important hero than Rizal. Both Rizal and Bonifacio have national holidays named for them.
