To see how our MODERN E-Learning Reviewers work, please try this 5-item sample:
 
JOSÉ Protasio RIZAL Mercado y Alonso Realonda (June 19, 1861 – December 30, 1896)
 
He was a Filipino nationalist and reformist and the most prominent advocate for reform in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial era. He was the inspiration and thus wrongly implicated as the leader of the Katipunan Revolution, and that led to his execution on December 30, 1896, now celebrated as Rizal Day. (Read: Jose Rizal's Contribution)
         
As a political figure, José Rizal was the founder of La Liga Filipina, a civic organization that subsequently gave birth to the Katipunan. He was a proponent of achieving Philippine self-government peacefully through institutional reform rather than through violent revolution, and would only support "violent means" as a last resort. (Wikipedia)
 
ANDRÉS BONIFACIO y de Castro (30 November 1863 – 10 May 1897)
 
He was a Filipino nationalist and revolutionary. He is often called "the father of the Philippine Revolution". Bonifacio was a founder and later Supremo ("supreme leader") of the Katipunan movement which sought the independence of the Philippines from Spanish colonial rule and started the Philippine Revolution.
 
He is considered a de facto national hero of the Philippines, and is also considered by some Filipino historians to be the first President, but he is not officially recognized as such. (Wikipedia)
 
EMILIO AGUINALDO y Famy (22 March 1869 – 6 February 1964)
 
He was a Filipino general, politician, and independence leader. He had an instrumental role during the Philippines' revolution against Spain, and the subsequent Philippine–American War or War of Philippine Independence that resisted American occupation ... (continue reading)
 
Aguinaldo became the Philippines' first president. He was also the youngest (at age 28) to have become the country's president, the longest-lived former president (having survived to age 94) and the president to have outlived the most number of successors. (Wikipedia)

I chose Rizal, behind his works he had been a good man. kahit sa maliit na bagay at kahit na simpleng tao lamang si Rizal ay nagawa niyang ipagtanggol ang ating bansa sa magandang paraan at walang dahas.

Rizal is our national hero because bonifacio is the father of revolution

Jose Rizal because of novels he awakened the Filipinos about the wrong doings of Dominican Friars and other Spaniards

I disagree to both of your because he is a president that did not fight the freedom of Filipino people in Spaniard.

sorry ma'am i disagree to your statement because Bonifacio is also died for our beloved country. For me Bonifacio is the one who will be our national hero. Because Bonifacio fight and death with an honor.

Rizal influenced the Filipino people by using writing novels that gave more information about the Friars.

Hindi ako sangayon sa sinabi mo bakit hindi maging si Jose Rizal, nakipaglaban siya ng gamit ang mga natutunan niya. Pinagtanggol niya ang mga naaaping sambayanang pilipino laban sa mga kastila. Tinuruan at inalagaan ni Rizal ang kanyang mga kababayan.

Pero di ba't naging mapusok din siya lalo na sa mga naging babae niya. naglakbay sa ibat ibang bansa at nagkakaroon ng mga karelasyon. nagpapakasarap hindi tulad ni bonifacio na laki sa hirap.

pano naman si bonifacio na hindi lang nagimpluwensya sa mga pilipino kung hindi kasamang nakipaglaban ng buong tapang sa mga kastila ng gamit lang ang mga bolo at nakukuha nilang mga armas galing sa mga kastila.

Si Rizal ang dapat maging National Hero ng Pilipinas kasi isa syang magandang halimbawa sa mga tao. Hindi siya gumamit ng karahasan para makilala ng mga tao sa halip ginamit niya ang kanyang talino.

Andres Bonifacio, because he is a man of action than words. He is the person who has seen more courage to fight for the country from the Spanish. A man who is willing to die just to vindicate the country's independence.

I disagree with you. Hindi naman nya kasi pinaglaban an gating kalayaan kasi sya mismo ay naduwag para ipagtanggol an gating bansa

I rather choose Andres Bonifacio, because he is a man of action than words. He is the person who has seen more courage to fight for the country from the Spanish. A man who is willing to die just to vindicate the country's independence.

Rizal is also willing to give his life for our country. And he has a lot of contributions than Andres.

Hi paolo, I respect your opinion but I disagree because for me it is definitely Rizal. why? because he was a proponent of achieving self government peacefully.

It must be andres bonifacio in my opinion because he really do fight for our freedom. They said he cannot be a national hero for being aggressive and use "dahas". But for all we know after rizal wrote and published the novels, it awakes filipinos innocence and fight for our country which they became aggressive and more lives are gone.

its ok that it will be Andres Bonifacio for he came from a poor family but despite of that he struggle a lot to make the Filipinos free from a colonization.. he has a heart of true Filipino that is willing to give his life to his country.

Andres Bonifacio, because he is a man of action than words. He is the person who has seen more courage to fight for the country from the Spanish. A man who is willing to die just to vindicate the country's independence.

Rizal must still the national hero because he is willing to sacrifice his life for our country.

i disagree.. it should be Jose Rizal because he reap freedom for our country in spanish colonization. imagine he writes two famous books and made a reform for our country's freedom....

Rizal go to different countries because he need it. It's not Rizal's problem if there are a lot of women's are in love with him.

I am for Jose Rizal to be the National Hero, because for he is the reason for us to be called Filipinos instead of indios.He fought by means of his abilities to write and he awakes the sleeping inner peace of his countrymen and open their blinded eyes.

Rizal must be still the national hero because Andres just continue what Rizal did for our country.

Rizal do die because of his works, that is also a form of actions. Cause he uses Pen rather than sword.

It doesn’t mean that if you belong to a low standard of living, you can be so called as the nation’s hero. Isn’t it much heroic action when you are already from a good living family but still chooses to fight against the Spaniards just to save those less fortunate?

Do Having those Relationships on different girls ruins everything he gave for his country? Isn't it a sin to be a very good communication skilled person and socialite to the other country people that helps Rizal to surpass his daily living for him to return on our country to continue what he had planned for the very first point why he leaves Philippines? Having a great personality to amaze other women just showcase how great were Filipinos on dealing with other people?

Rizal planned everything before he started the quiet revolution. And to whom does Andress Bonifacio ask for help and assistance for every move of the katipunan? isnt it to Rizal?

Jose Rizal is the National Hero because he was the one who symbolizes leadership. he also opted for a non violence reform in the government. Instead he used his writings to open the eyes of the Filipinos. He dedicated his life for his countrymen without hesitation.

Jose Rizal deserve to be the Phil. national hero, because of his achievements. He did a very good job for us considering the fact that he had set us all free from slavery and better education. He's a very good example and inspiration to us most especially to students because of is intelligence and boldness.

Bonifacio should have been the Phil. national, because he wanted for an ultimate freedom for the phil. and separate from the authorities of spain and that is through a revolution.

Rizal should considered the nation hero because he opted for a non violence reform in the government. Instead he used his writings to open the eyes of Filipino's. he dedicated his life for his countrymen without hesitation.

We might consider Rizal as a national hero, because he's a multifaceted individual both through the mind and manipulative areas,he fought his pen, books and knowledge. he did not fight through guns and swords, through is articles he has touched lives, and awakened the people.

For me Andres Bonifacio should be the national hero because he became a leader of the revolution against spaniard who colonized the Philippines in times. he is the one who create the lamp and he known as the father of the revolution, he fought for the peace of the country.

si Dr. jose rizal din naman ee ganun din sa mga spaniards at iba ang istilo na ginawa ni Dr. jose Rizal sa pakikipaglaban sa spaniards

nakalaya naman po ang ating bansa sa ginawa ni Dr. Jose Rizal . dahil sa kanyang mga sinulat namulat ang mga pilipino sa mga ginagawa ng espanyol sa atin !

isinakripisyo din ni Dr. Jose Rizal ang kanyang buhay . na papatayin sya ng mga espanyol pag nalaman ang tungkol sa kanyang mga sinulat na libro

sinakripisyo din ni DR. Jose Rizal ang kanyang buhay at ibang paraan ang ginawa nya sa pakikipaglaban sa mga espanyol

I have to disagree with you we all know that Andres Bonifacio did something just to protect our country from the spanish but unlike Jose Rizal he didn't make ay plans.

Rizal did the same too. He even die for our country.

Ginamit nya nga ung buong tapang niya ngunit hndi iyon sapat. Masyado siyang padalos dalos kaya mdalas natatalo sa laban.

He is willing to die but Rizal gave his life to our country. His way of fighting is more effective than Bonifacios.

for me the national hero should be jose rizal because either andres bonifacio started the war , rizal is the one who make the cause that pursue andres to make an organization.

for me , still Jose Rizal should be the national hero because he made an inspiration to the Filipino people.

either Andres Bonifacio is against to the Spanish, still Rizal start the cause to made a war so that the frials mad at him by his novel noli me tangere.

still for me, the national hero should be Jose Rizal only because he made the proponents to the self-government and made an peacefully war.

much better4 if andres bonifacio because he sacrifice his life.

It should be Rizal because he even sacrifice his very own life, his loved ones, and he awakened us Filipinos through his writings regarding the Spanish Era. His works and extraordinary intelligence can never be replaced by any of our other heroes though they have the same goal of making our country free and independent.

Jose Rizal deserves to be our national hero, because of his helpfulness and hard work for the Philippines,and he is the reason why Filipinos earned their freedom from the Spaniards.

he sacrifice his life and because of him we meet our freedom under spanish.. that why bonifacio should be.
