rizal is an American sponsored hero. 1946 that America declared the Dr. Jose Rizal was a national hero
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.
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 declared a national hero of the Philippines for his key role in the country's fight for independence from Spanish colonization. His writings inspired and mobilized Filipinos to strive for freedom and social justice. His martyrdom, through his execution in 1896, further solidified his status as a national hero.
