Jose P. Rizal was sponsored by the Americans during the 1901 Philippine Commission. As the new colonizers of the Philippine islands, the Americans wanted to have a Filipino who can be considered as a hero, and a national hero at that. He was among the five choices of heroes ranging from Marcelo H. Del Pilar to Antonio Luna. The initial winner by a unanimous vote was Marcelo H. Del Pilar. But with the addition of the fifth criteria for electing the Philippine National Hero, Jose Rizal was finally chosen due to his dramatic death by firing squad. It was then further affirmed in Philippine society to this day. Now, knowing the roots of Rizal's selection, would you still have him as your national hero?
