Why do you think Rizal is a national hero?

A hero may be easy to spell but it is never easy to become.

Heroes are people who have gained enormous identity among others.
They are role models, well-respected, nationalistic and have contributed
to society causing national unity resulting to something really big like
Freedom. Between the different faces of heroes we know who
stands out among the rest Is it Rizal is of better identified If there is a
need to place someone as national hero
It is always said in many cultures that the pen is mightier than the
sword, the blood of academic scholars are better than that blood
of warriors, wars are not won in the battlefield, its pure politics.
Based on the given criteria in choosing a National Hero as set by the
Philippine National Heroes Committee in 1993-1995 which is as followed
1. Heroes are those who have a concept of nation and thereafter aspire
and struggle for
The nations freedom.
2. Heroes are those who define and contribute to a system or life of
freedom and order for a nation.
3. A hero is part of the peoples expression.
4. A hero thinks of the future, especially the future generations.
5. The choice of a hero involves not only the recounting of an episode or
events in history but of the entire process that made this particular
person a hero. With these criteria that was set, Dr. Jose P. Rizal is more
than qualified. These criteria is much exemplified by Dr. Jose Rizal.

magmahal sa Sariling Wika, ay higit pa sa mabaho at malansang
is da,
Those lines from his poem (To My Fellow Children).His name can be found
in almost all corners of the Philippines. Roads, schools and even a
province are named after him. His image can be found in peso bills and
coins. Monuments are erected in his name foremost of this can be found
in Rizal Park in Manila). These are manifestations of the country's
reverence accorded to Jose Rizal as a national hero. Why is Rizal a
national hero? What are his contributions to Philippine history that makes
him preeminent among other Filipino heroes? Those are some of

old Spanish rule. As an educated man, he was exposed to some of the
abuses by Spanish friars and government officials. As a founder and
member of the La Liga Filipina, he originally pushed for reforms of Spanish
colonial rule
