My Favorite Hero is Dr. Jose Rizal. Other than being a national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal was really a genius writer. He may not have the strength to fight for our country, but his powerful mind was enough to do so.
I chose Rizal, for he has his peaceful Propaganda and diplomatic approaches in attaining Philippine Freedom and independence, unlike Bonifacio who chose a Bloody Revolution.
Dr. Jose Rizal made 2 poems, the Noli Me Tangere and the El Filibusterismo.
