He was executed in 1896 at the age of 35 for rebellion after being inspired by his writings which helped spark the Philippine Revolution. He is renowned for his novels Noli Me Tángere and El filibusterismo, as well as his poems and essays.

    BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE
    DID YOU KNOW THAT JOSE RIZAL IS
    NOT THE PHILIPPINES’ NATIONAL
    HERO?

    ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL


    COMMISSION FOR CULTURE AND THE
    ARTS (NCAA 2011), THERE HAS BEEN
    NO OFFICIAL PROCLAMATION OF
    ANY FILIPINO HISTORICAL FIGURE
    AS OUR NATIONAL HERO
    THE NCAA STATES, “ EVEN JOSE RIZAL,
    CONSIDERED AS THE GREATEST AMONG THE
    FILIPINO HEROES, WAS NOT EXPLICITLY PROCLAIMED
    AS A NATIONAL HERO. THE POSITION HE NOW
    HOLDS IN PHILIPPINE HISTORY IS A TRIBUTE TO THE
    CONTINUED VENERATION OR ACCLAMATION OF THE
    PEOPLE IN RECOGNITION OF HIS CONTRIBUTION TO
    THE SIGNIFICANT SOCIAL TRANSFORMATIONS THAT
    TOOK PLACE IN OUR COUNTRY.”
