Philippines Heroism

Are you a hero? What does it mean to be a hero? Do you need superpowers like superman? Not really, no. National hero Andres Bonifacio, the leader of the KKK, which fought for the Philippines freedom against spaniards is a great example of this. One hero stands out, Jose Rizal. But if he did not fight, how did he help?

 Perceptions of heroes are usually about fighting evil and saving people. This is a perfect description of Andres Bonifacio, so why Jose rizal? He did not fight with swords, guns nor any other weaponry. Instead he used his capabilities as a writer to help the Philippines.

Using his pen and paper as his sword and shield, he awoke the Filipinos to their situation. In which they were taken advantage of by the spaniards. Seeing this Jose Rizal made his novels and sparked a fire in the Filipinos.
