Jose Rizal was chosen as the Philippine National Hero because, as a towering figure in the Propaganda Campaign, he took a very important role which roughly covered the period from 1882 to 1896. His novel Noli Me Tangere had a great contribution to the formation of the Filipino's nationality. Other novels were also published like Pedro Paterno's Ninay in 1885, Marcelo H. del Pilar's La Soberania Monacal in Articulos Varios in 1891 and Antonio Luna's Impresionesin 1893 but none of these books had evoked such favorable and unfavorable comments from friends and foes alike as did Rizal's Noli. (E.A. de Ocampo) -Beverly Reyes -BSA-1 -SPUP(Tuguegarao)

It was because one of the criteria in choosing a national hero is a DRAMATIC death, which only Dr. Jose P. Rizal had ( in Luneta when he turn around to face the Spaniards who's going to shoot him which symbolizes that he's not betraying his country and to show the Spaniards that he is a Filipino ) -Jeff Capio
