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 the Filipinos' martyr for independence and freedom and he richly deserved to be a hero.
He wrote stories about the Spaniards.
because of being one of the writers of the La Solidaridad
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 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.
Constantino (1969) clams that rizal was an American-sponsored hero. the Taft commission of 1901, not the Filipino people chose Rizal to become the country's national hero. the contenders for the the title then were Rizal, Aguinaldo, Bonifacio, and Mabini
He wrote stories about the Spaniards.

Yes, Jose Rizal is a conscious hero.
rizal is an American sponsored hero. 1946 that America declared the Dr. Jose Rizal was a national hero
Rizal was not an American-sponsored hero because it was the Filipinos who chose Rizal as our national hero not the Americans. It is true that the Americans suggested Rizal but they were not the one who chose him.
Because of Jose Rizal's literary woks that awaken the national consciousness and patriotism of the Filipinos...
