Why Jose Rizal Is the National Hero?
In many countries in the world, the leader is
almost chosen. We can mention Vladimir Lenin
of Russia, Mao Tse-Tung(Mao Zedong) of China, Ho Chi
Minh of Vietnam and George Washington of the United
States. In the Philippines our national hero, Jose Rizal was
not a man of war but a man of peace. Why not Bonifacio,
considering that he led the revolution of 1896 against
Spain? Who chose Rizal to be our country's national hero?

Rizal was already dead at the time the Americans began their
aggression in the Philippines
No embarrassing anti-American quotations could ever be attributed
to Rizal.
Rizal's dramatic martyrdom had already made him the symbol of
Spanish oppression.
The Americans through the American Governor William Howard Taft
recommended to the Philippine Commission, which was sponsored
by the US, to declare Jose Rizal as a national hero for the Filipinos.
The Americans recommended Rizal because of the fact that he was
executed by the Spaniards and of his peaceful way to achieve
liberty. Unlike Andres Bonifacio whose desire to achieve
independence for his native land required armed approach.

Factors that contributed to Rizal's acceptability as the
official hero of the Philippines according to Renato
Constantino
Since the Filipinos love peace, they have chosen to
magnify a man of peace above men of war
Because Filipinos are lovers of freedom and justice,
they have given their worship to a man who gave up all
comforts and pleasures of peace for their sake; and
Filipino prize virtue more than victory, and sacrifice
above success.
