Jose Rizal was chosen as the national hero of the Philippines by American colonial authorities because he embodied the ideals of nationalism, reform, and peaceful advocacy for change. His writings, particularly "Noli Me Tangere" and "El Filibusterismo," highlighted the injustices under Spanish colonial rule and inspired a sense of national identity among Filipinos. The Americans promoted Rizal to foster a sense of legitimacy for their own colonial rule, portraying him as a martyr for freedom while sidelining more revolutionary figures like Andres Bonifacio. By elevating Rizal, they aimed to support their narrative of a benevolent colonial administration guiding the Philippines toward democracy.
