The reformist writer Jose Rizal, today generally considered the greatest Filipino hero and often given as "the" Philippine national hero, has never been explicitly proclaimed as the (or even "a") national hero by the Philippine government. Besides Pepe (Jose Rizal), the only other Filipinos currently given implied recognition as national heroes are revolutionaries, such as Andrés Bonifacio. While other historical figures are commemorated in public municipal or provincial holidays, Rizal and Bonifacio are commemorated in national holidays and as such are national heroes by implication.
