Jose Rizal's speech was to honor the two Filipino painters (Juan Luna and Felix Hidalgo). The speech was held on June 25, 1884 in a restaurant in Madrid, Spain.
Jose Mercado (Rizal's real name) does not deserve to be the national hero. It was the Americans that propagated the myth of Rizal in order to control the mindset of the Filipinos at that time. It would have been detrimental to the Americans if they allowed the likes of El Supremo Andres Bonifacio, General Antonio Luna, General Artemio Ricarte, and all the other Philippine Revolutionary leaders to be the national hero. During the American occupation, even the Philippine flag was NOT allowed to be displayed anywhere. They erased Spanish as the language of the Filipinos since it was the language used by Rizal, Bonifacio, Luna, and all the other revolutionary leaders and unfortunately replaced it with English.
Jose P. Rizal was sponsored by the Americans during the 1901 Philippine Commission. As the new colonizers of the Philippine islands, the Americans wanted to have a Filipino who can be considered as a hero, and a national hero at that. He was among the five choices of heroes ranging from Marcelo H. Del Pilar to Antonio Luna. The initial winner by a unanimous vote was Marcelo H. Del Pilar. But with the addition of the fifth criteria for electing the Philippine National Hero, Jose Rizal was finally chosen due to his dramatic death by firing squad. It was then further affirmed in Philippine society to this day. Now, knowing the roots of Rizal's selection, would you still have him as your national hero?
