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)

for me bonifacio should be becausse he sacrifice everything to meet our freedom under spanish colony.

I consider Jose Rizal as our National Hero because, instead of using guns as weapons, he used his novels to open up the eyes of his countrymen from the injustices of the government. He even sacrificed his own life without hesitation to encourage his countrymen to stand up for their country.

for me its bonifacio because he sacrifice his life and we meet our freedom under spanish..he give actions to meet what we want..

For me its Jose Rizal because he 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.

agree ako sayo na si Bonifacio and dapat na maging Philippine national hero dahil kung ating aalaman ang mga nagawa ng mga ito si Bonifacio ang may mas naimambag at lumaban sa ating bayan upang maging malaya taYo sa sa pananakop ng mga Spanish soldier.Lumaban sya at tinaya ang sariling buhay para sa bayan dahil alam nya ang paglaban ang magpapalaya sa bayan.

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.

Andres Bonifacio. 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.

For me Jose Rizal is my national hero because he was towering figure in propaganda movement. At the same time Rizal's first novel Noli Me Tangere influence to the filipino masses to great extent. Without Rizal there would have been no Bonifacio who founded the katipunan.

Sorry miguel but I'm against to what are you trying to say because it is not only to speak boldly against Spanish is the reason to become a hero and not because you want it, you have to know everything to one person and you have to know what he or she doing in our country and it have a big impact to our country.

Sorry James but i disagree on you because action? you have to think before do what is in your mind not because you are hot in the situation. Our heroes is willing to die but Andress die not because the fighting between his and Spaniards, He die in hand in hand of Filipino because he do something wrong.

Sorry Jesie but i disagree to you because yes, Andres is the who woke up to our other national hero but he do something wrong and because of that he become selfish to that. Freedom is our goal but before that we have knowledge to do that and Andres has not enough knowledge to do that because of that Jose Rizal is our national hero.

Sorry Garcia but i disagree on you because 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.

I chose Bonifacio. He was greatly influenced by Rizal’s political views. He considered Rizal a real patriot and joined the latter’s La Liga Filipina in July 1892. With Rizal exiled to Dapitan, Bonifacio organized a secret society, the KKK. The initials stood for Kataas-taasang, Kagalang-galangang Katipunan ng mga Anak ng Bayan (the highest, the most respected Association of the Nation’s Children). This organization’s aim was to rise in armed revolt against the Spanish colonial power and to win freedom and independence for the country. Bonifacio wrote a constitution called the Kartilya, patterned after Rizal’s La Liga Filipina. He realized the need to wrest control of the government from the oppressive hands of the Spaniards.

I believe its Rizal because he choose to fight by writing not by weapons. That gives courage to our Filipino countrymen to fight for our freedom.

I agree with that Rizal should be our national hero because he fought for freedom in a silent but powerful way. He expressed his love for the Philippines through his novels, essays, and works.

Yes Rizal should be our national hero because his book of Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo which means against the Spaniards. And he is a person who is revered by the public after his death because of his exceptional service to mankind.

Andres Boniofacio should be our national hero. He was one of a founder and later the supreme leader of the Katipunan movement which sought the independence of the Philippines from Spanish colonial rule and started the Philippine Revolution,with that he should be our national hero.

Our national hero should be Andres Bonifacio, because he wanted the Philippines to become a nation, while rizal, though he had great/good intentions for the filipinos, wanted the philippines to officially be part of spain, sort of a province and not a separate nation or colony.

for me Dr. Jose Rizal is the national hero because, if it wasn't for him the other heroes like Andres Bonifacio will not be inspired or ignited to take rebellion against the foreign terrorist. Even though he just wrote novels, this novels opened the eyes of many Filipino people who are afraid to stand up for their motherland the Philippines.

DR. Jose Rizal because He only use his knowledge and inspiration to protect us. He spend his time in helping the Filipino through pencil and paper. he never use force to fight.

For me, the one who suits to be our Philippine National Hero is no other than Jose Rizal. Yes, he offer his life from the intruders for the Freedom of the Filipinos. Aside from that, he also wrote some novels which includes the bad doings of the Spaniards. He did that for the Filipino people to be boost the feeling of Nationalism in their heart. For them also to fight with him for the freedom in our own country.

For me. I aggree with Malen. I believe that it should be Jose Rizal whom were referrring to our National Hero. He do everything for us, Filipino, to be free from Spaniards.

Ako din Len, para sakin si Dr. Jose Rizal ang hiranging National Hero natin lase diba sa ngayon siya naman na talaga "Pambansang Bayani" ng Pilipinas at masyado maraming rason kaya siya ang mas karapat dapat sa titulo na yun.

Para sakin si Andres Bonifacio. Hindi lang naman si Rizal ang nagpakasakit at nagbuwis ng buhay para sa Pilipinas. Si Andres Bonifacio, ganun din. Inialay niya ang sarili niyang buhay para sa bansa at nakipaglaban sa mga Mananakop kasama ang mga kasamahan niya sa KKK.

Hi Len, para sakin si Bonifacio. Oo nga't sikat si Rizal as National Hero ng Pilipinas pero kase si Bonifacio, itinatag niya ang KKK.. Pinamunuan niya iti. Nakipaglaban siya gamit ang dahas para lamang sa kalayaan ng Pilipinas. Ipinakita niya kung gaano siya katapang para kalabanin ang mga manankop.

for me Jose P RIzal because he suffer his life in helping filipino from spaniards through his letter he open the mind of filipino to fight for his/her independence.he never use force to fight.

Rizal are the major contributor in our history. He became the reason why we were free now. He deserve to become a national hero because he is the one who stand up against Spaniards. And he is the one who saves us from being ignorant and being afraid from Spaniards.

Bonifacio should have been the national hero because he wanted for an ultimate freedom for the Philippines and be separated from the authorities of Spain and that is through a revolution. Well it is true that Bonifacio has somewhat got this idea of freedom from Rizal but it is Bonifacio who put it into action, what is an idea without an action? . . . action speaks louder than words of ideas. Rizal was coward that he didn't support the revolution plan of bonifacio, but then the revolution was succesful. Also, Rizal was just an American-sponsored-hero, they just insisted Rizal to be the national hero because Americans were afraid that if it was Bonifacio that was the hero, the Filipinos would also revolt the same way as of Bonifacio's

ANDRES BONIFACIO is the greatest leader in Magdiwang Who's defend our country until the end of his breath.He is brave and courageous to the Filipino people.He is the man of action because he act what ever is running to his heart and mind against the Spanish colony.

For me, the one who suits to be our Philippine National Hero is no other than Jose Rizal. Yes, he offer his life from the intruders for the Freedom of the Filipinos. Aside from that, he also wrote some novels which includes the bad doings of the Spaniards. He did that for the Filipino people to be boost the feeling of Nationalism in their heart. For them also to fight with him for the freedom in our own country.

It is in the Philippine History that if were talking about our national hero, it is no other than Dr. Jose Rizal. Without minding why him, instead of Andres Bonifacio or Emilio Aguinaldo whom they are purely a Filipino. But for me, I choose Dr. Jose Rizal as the Philippine National Hero because he was first to called the Philippines as his fatherland even though he is not purely a Filipino because of his great-grand father, a Chinese mestizo. He is more devoted to his countrymen through his novels and writings.

<p> Dr. Jose Rizal never wanted revoluting , he just want to have a reformation in our system and he just want to have the philippines to have a freedom. He never saw his pen as a weapon but just to inspire and to be transparent to the filipino, That is why he accept the consenquences</p>

For me its andres bonifacio because sometimes you need to fight and killing doesnt mean literate killing it was a self defense.

in my own perspective andres bonifacio still deserve to the the national hero, because Jose Rizal never wanted to fight the spaniards because it was written in his history.

For Andres bonifacio jose rizal just an ispiration , but he rejected that he was part of the revolution

It should be Dr. Jose Rizal because of him Andres Bonifacio and other Filipinos were inspired to fight for the country. Because of Dr.Jose Rizal writings the corruption of the spaniards were revealed to the eyes of the fellow countrymen.

Hello Deangel Cancino,I really respect your opinion. But for me, it should be Andres Bonifacio because Bonifacio sacrifies his life to fight for our country and give freedom each Filipinos than Rizal he went out of country try to engage other nation to give support for the Philippines and make a novel against Spaniards.

Para sakin, si Rizal parin. Pinatunayan nya lang sa buong mundo at sa ibang lahi na hindi lang dahas at sandata ang kailangan para makipaglaban sa mga mananakop. Nagamit nya din yung mga naisulat nya para gisingin ang utak at puso ng mga kapwa Pilipino para lumaban at huwag magpatalo.

Hello! I respect your opinion but even if he is the inspiration of some Filipinos because of the novel he made to make us awakened. I think that's not enough for him to become a hero, actually its yet lack of his proven abilities to fight for our country. Bonifacio gave a lot of efforts and sacrifices just to give freedom for our countrymen.

Hi, I respect your opinion. For me its should be Andres Bonifacio because sometimes you need to fight and kill other people. It doesn't mean that it is a literate but instead he make it as his self defense not just for me but all the Filipinos before. killing doesn't mean literate killing it was a self defense.

Hi Vera, Regie P.I respect your opinion for Rizal. But it doesn't really mean they killed their opponent, it such that sometimes they need to killed their opponent for their protection, to defense their selves and get the freedom of the country from the Spaniards.

Rizal deserve to be our national hero. He use his brain to protect our country through his writings and he fight without violence.

For me it is still Rizal for his desire to achieve Philippine self-government peacefully through reform. He wants a reform through our country than a violence and set aside it first, Because the Katipunan movement is still not ready to fought against the Spaniards.

i think the more deserving to be be the national hero is bonifacio because he did the move para makipaglaban s mga kastila. Si Rizal ay naging inspirasyon niya lmang.

I think Dr. Jose Rizal is more deserving to be our national hero among the 3 because he fought against the friars in a peaceful way through his knowledge in writing. Which awakened the nationalism of all Filipino and he is the inspiration of Andres Bonifacio to continue of what Rizal had started.

Kung ikaw ang papipiliin. Sino sa tatlo ang pipiliin mo? Rizal,Bonifacio o Aguinaldo? Bakit? "Gawa hindi Salita" . Para sa akin si Andres Bonifacio ang dapat maging pambansang bayani ng Pilipinas. Kahit na punuin pa ni Jose Rizal ang isang buong silid aklatan ng kanyang mga sulat na patama sa espanyol ay wala paring mangyayari. Ito ay nagsilbi lamang boses o ingay sa mga kastila. Pinili ko si Bonifacio dahil siya ang nagsilbing paa at kamay ng ating bansa upang lumaban at ipagtanggol ang karapatan ng mga Pilipino. Ipinakita niya na kaya ding lumaban ng lahing Pilipino.

hahahahahahaha, ang galing !!!!
