In 1995 the Philippine National Heroes Committee officially recommended several people for the designation,[1] but this was not acted upon. As of 2023[update][citation needed] no one had ever been officially recognized as a Philippine national hero.[1]
The reformist writer José Rizal, today considered as the quintessential national hero, has never been explicitly proclaimed as such by the Philippine government.[1] Besides Rizal, the only other Filipino currently given implied recognition as a national hero is Andrés Bonifacio, based on the Philippine government's policy on national holidays.
