In my opinion, it should be Bonifacio. After all, he IS the embodiment of a modern filipino. Would you mind if I used some of ideas here in this blog?

Since I posted this years ago I am even more convinced that Bonifacio should, at the very least, be number 1 in the hearts of MOST Filipinos, the ones without connections or much money, since that describes him to a T.

He was smart enough to know that it would be a lost cause; and he was correct, it was. Rizal saw himself both a citizen of the Philippines AND of Spain, and ultimately wanted his homeland to be treated like any other Spanish province, but that was never to be.

The reason was simply because Rizal's views and philosophy were that of a Hero. He was a reformist, not a revolutionist.
