Who made our National Hero? If none, what makes a Hero?

No amount of adulation canonization by both Filipinos and foreigners could convert Rizal into a great hero if he did not possess in himself.

* In American setting it was William Taft and other Americans made Dr. Jose Rizal our National hero in 1901, Taft chose him (Rizal) as a model hero over other contestants - Aguinaldo too militant, Bonifacio too radical, Mabini unregenerate." but in Philippine setting there no Law or executive order or proclamation had been enacted or issued officially proclaiming any Filipino historical figure as a national hero, however because of their significance role in the process of national building and contribution to history, there were laws enacted and proclamation issued honoring these heroes
