    Jose Rizal

    José Protasio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda[7] (Spanish pronunciation: [xoˈse riˈsal]; June 19,
    1861 – December 30, 1896) was a Filipino nationalist and polymath during the tail end of
    the Spanish colonial period of the Philippines. He is tagged as the national hero (pambansang
    bayani) of the Filipino people.[8] An ophthalmologist by profession, Rizal became a writer and a key
    member of the Filipino Propaganda Movement which advocated political reforms for the colony
    under Spain.
    He was executed by the Spanish colonial government for the crime of rebellion after the Philippine
    Revolution, inspired in part by his writings, broke out. Though he was not actively involved in its
    planning or conduct, he ultimately approved of its goals which eventually led to Philippine
    independence.
    He is widely considered one of the greatest heroes of the Philippines and has been recommended to
    be so honored by an officially empaneled National Heroes Committee. However, no law, executive
    order or proclamation has been enacted or issued officially proclaiming any Filipino historical figure
    as a national hero.[9] He was the author of the novels Noli Me Tángere and El filibusterismo, and a
    number of poems and essays.
