José Protasio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda [7] (Spanish: [xoˈse riˈsal]; June 19, 1861 –
December 30, 1896) was a Filipino nationalist, writer and polymath during the tail end of the Spanish
colonial period of the Philippines. He is considered as the national hero (pambansang bayani) of the
Philippines.[8][9] 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.[1
