The Filipinos chose Rizal as their national hero. In fact, the revolutionary President of the First Philippine Republic, Emilio Aguinaldo first designated Rizal as a national hero. Rizal advocated independence by seeking reforms from the Spaniards through peaceful means. His literary works like Noli Me Tangere (Touch Me Not) and El Filibusterismo (The Subversive) awakened the Filipinos that reforms should be made to stop the abuses of the Spaniards towards them.

RIZAL is not an acronym. It is the name of the family name of the Philippine national hero Dr. Jose Protacio Rizal.
it was the Schurman Commission, established by U.S.President, William McKinley, that declared Dr. Jose Rizal the national hero of the Philippines.
Rizal, in my own opinion, is a hero because he stood for what he believed in until the end. He still made an attempt to make a difference, and guess what, he made it. He promoted values that is still present until now. He is fully devoted to our country and to its people that's why he is a hero.
Rizal was never chosen by Filipinos to become a hero. It was the American government who declared him as a national hero to become a rallying focal. The real hero is Andres Bonifacio. If Rizal was not a member of an elite family, he may not be declared as national hero.

Rizal is considered controversial because of his criticisms of colonial rule and the Catholic Church during his time, which led to his execution by the Spanish government. Some view him as a revolutionary figure who fought for independence, while others see him as a more moderate reformist. Additionally, there are debates over his actual role in sparking the Philippine revolution against Spain.
