Jose Rizal became the national hero of the Philippines because of his peaceful efforts through his writings to inspire Filipinos to fight for independence from Spanish colonial rule. Andres Bonifacio, on the other hand, was a revolutionary leader who advocated for armed resistance against the colonizers. Rizal's martyrdom and intellectual influence made him more widely recognized in shaping the Filipino identity and nationalist movement.
Rizal is considered the national hero of the Philippines due to his peaceful and intellectual approach in igniting a sense of nationalism among Filipinos. His writings and actions inspired the revolution against Spanish colonial rule. Bonifacio, while an important figure in the Philippine Revolution, was seen as more of a revolutionary leader than a unifying symbol of national identity like 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.
Andres Bonifacio's leadership style was more revolutionary and focused on direct action, while Jose Rizal's was more intellectual and reform-oriented. Bonifacio was known for his willingness to take risks and lead through grassroots movements, while Rizal advocated for social change through his writings and peaceful protests. Overall, both leaders played crucial roles in the Philippine independence movement with different approaches to leadership.
Both wanted freedom from Spanish rule and oppression. They differed in their ways of attaining that freedom, though.

Yes, Andres Bonifacio knew Jose Rizal. They were both influential figures in the Philippine Revolution against Spanish colonial rule during the late 19th century. While their approaches to achieving independence differed, both men played crucial roles in inspiring and mobilizing the Filipino people towards the fight for freedom.

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.
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.
Because Andres Bonifacio also offer his life for the freedom of our country. (:
They're both fighting for freedom. Jose Rizal used pen for freedom, but Andres Bonifacio used bolo for freedom.
They chose Jose Rizal instead of Andres Bonifacio because he fought the Spaniards not by his sword but by his words. He used his intelligence to free the Filipinos.

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.
