Who really does not know Dr. Jose Rizal, “Kabataan ang pag-asa ng atin Bayan” one of his
famous lines that Dr. Jose Rizal left us and he alone also proves it that pen is mightier than
sword and he didn’t use violence to fight of the Spaniards. Rizal’s pen may not have an
immediate effect, but it made a more lasting impact and still very significant after generation of
Filipinos. Jose Rizal became the Philippine national hero because he fought for freedom in a
silent but powerful way.

He expressed his love for the Philippines through his novels, essay and articles rather than
through the use of force or aggression. Rizal is considered as our greatest hero because he was
capable of revolutionizing the way the Filipino thought. He was a very amazing person at his
time. He was very humble for fighting reforms through his writing instead of through a
revolution. He used his intelligence, talents and skills in a more peaceful way rather than
aggressive way and he also sacrifice his love life and his life for the sake of our country and also
for the Filipino people.

He enlightens his people about their status in society by writing his novel the Noli Metangere
and El Filibusterismo which very helpful as of now because we will reminisce on whathappen on
our country before, for us also to enlighten that we should not let other people to bound us.

In the end, there is no doubt that Rizal is the first to envision himself and his country as a nation
of Filipinos and to uphold its liberty from the occupiers. Rizal’s self-sacrifice has been modeled
him to be a hero of the Philippine. He will remain as the heart of the Philippine revolution and
the Philippine national hero and remain at the heart of every Filipino people as the best
national hero of the Philippines.
