Was Andres Bonifacio declared a Philippine national hero?
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 did rizal become the Philippine national hero not Andres bonifacio?
Because of Jose Rizal's literary woks that awaken the national consciousness and patriotism of the Filipinos...
Why filipino people choose Jose rizal as 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.
When was Rizal declared to be a national hero?
Whether this assessment is accurate or not, Dr. Rizal has been considered a hero of the Philippines from the outset: a public holiday was declared honouring Dr. Rizal in 1898, whereas that for Bonifacio was not declared until 1921. Dr. Rizal was considered to be his inspiration by Bonifacio himself.
Why do yo think the Americans chose or preferred Rizal over that of Bonifacio as a national hero?
The Americans chose Jose Rizal to be the national hero because the Americans wants us to follow Dr. Rizal's values they want us to be calm when there are problems and stuff, unlike Bonifacio who is like on a rampage mode everytime ;)

Why should Andres Bonifacio be the national hero of the Philippines instead of Jose Rizal?
Bonifacio should have been the national hero because he wanted for an ultimate freedom for the Philippines and be separated from the authorities of Spain and that is through a revolution. Well it is true that Bonifacio has somewhat got this idea of freedom from Rizal but it is Bonifacio who put it into action, what is an idea without an action? . . . action speaks louder than words of ideas. Rizal was coward that he didn't support the revolution plan of bonifacio, but then the revolution was succesful. Also, Rizal was just an American-sponsored-hero, they just insisted Rizal to be the national hero because Americans were afraid that if it was Bonifacio that was the hero, the Filipinos would also revolt the same way as of Bonifacio's.

Who selected rizal as your national hero?
Dr. Rizal was regarded as a national hero from the moment of his martyrdom. He was considered to be an inspiration by Andres Bonifacio, the military leader who successfully led the revolution against Spain. Bonifacio took up where Rizal's Liga Filipina left off when he founded the Katipunan organization. Bonifacio also respected Rizal enough to try to recruit him to the Katipunan after his release from prison. Rizal refused, but was shot anyways as a supporter of the revolution. After the American colonization of the Philippines, Dr. Rizal was regarded ever more highly. Renato Constantino expressed the view in 1970 that the Americans explicitly promoted Dr. Rizal as a national hero as opposed to Andres Bonifacio because Rizal favoured a peaceful method of securing independence and Bonifacio led an armed rebellion. The intent according to Constantino was to suppress Filipino opposition to US colonization. Perhaps as a result Rizal is popularly known as "the national hero". However, because of controversies surrounding Rizal and Bonifacio no Government of the Philippines has ever named either as a national hero.

Additionally, there are debates over his actual role in sparking the Philippine revolution against Spain.
