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.

Why Jose rizal deserves to be your national hero?
Jose Mercado (Rizal's real name) does not deserve to be the national hero. It was the Americans that propagated the myth of Rizal in order to control the mindset of the Filipinos at that time. It would have been detrimental to the Americans if they allowed the likes of El Supremo Andres Bonifacio, General Antonio Luna, General Artemio Ricarte, and all the other Philippine Revolutionary leaders to be the national hero. During the American occupation, even the Philippine flag was NOT allowed to be displayed anywhere. They erased Spanish as the language of the Filipinos since it was the language used by Rizal, Bonifacio, Luna, and all the other revolutionary leaders and unfortunately replaced it with English.
