RIZAL is not an acronym. It is the name of the family name of the Philippine national hero Dr. Jose Protacio Rizal.
The Filipinos chose Rizal as their national hero. In fact, the revolutionary President of the First Philippine Republic, Emilio Aguinaldo first designated Rizal as a national hero. Rizal advocated independence by seeking reforms from the Spaniards through peaceful means. His literary works like Noli Me Tangere (Touch Me Not) and El Filibusterismo (The Subversive) awakened the Filipinos that reforms should be made to stop the abuses of the Spaniards towards them. Rizal is the Filipinos' martyr for independence and freedom and he richly deserved to be a hero.
