Dr. Jose Rizal, a Filipino great hero is one of the persons I admired most. His intelligence and his love for his country paved the way towards Philippine Independence. He is not only praised by Filipinos alone but he has high regards of the people lived in other countries. He is a traveller. And his intelligence in poems gives him high remarks with people outside the country especially in Germany. It is where he contributed lots of his writings in that land and befriend a famous writer also in the person of Blumentrit. They became best of friends until the last time of his life. Now, we reaped what he sow. Some says that Bonifacio shall be given the title of being the national hero instead of Rizal.What do you think about this issue? Do you agree or disagree? Why ?

well i dont disagree or agree but they should be made into national heroes but only rizal wanted to resolve it through writings and didn't want to shed blood into our country. Still bonifacion wanted to shed blood and still shedding blood until we won. Without rizal then we wouldn't won and bonifacio wouldn't fight the spaniards in that time.

Seems that I'm convinced that Rizal deserved his title . As what you've said that without his writing, Filipinos might not be awaken with the truth behind and no other heroes will fought against our freedom. But still giving thanks to all of the Filipino heroes for giving their lives for our country.
