The pursuit of freedom and independence in the hands of these exploiters was made by another country. People's knowledge and awareness of history strengthened their resolve to revolt and fight for what they believed was right for themselves and fellow citizen. Simple conversation, agreement, and the hope that they will keep their promises do not result in freedom. We would not have the freedom we have today if it weren't for the heroes who are willing to fight even if it means risking their lives and security. Like the heroes we recognize for their courage and love for the country, there are people who fought against imperialism in Latin America, Cuba, and Vietnam. Even though they gave their lives for their homelands it still seems that their heroism is being questioned. This paper discusses prominent individuals and what abilities they have demonstrated. Let's get to know these people and whether they should be called bandits or revolutionaries.

This was only exacerbated by American occupation of the country. When merchants began trading, Islam spread throughout Mindanao, particularly in the Sulu archipelago. They met Malaysian preachers and converted them to Islamic doctrine until the early or mid-century. Maguindanao and Bauyan provinces followed suit in practicing Islam, and the religion spread throughout Mindanao. When the Spaniards arrived, they noticed that trade on Mindanao was thriving, and they attempted to occupy and convert the Moros to Christianity, but they did not succeed because the Moros were strong and did not hesitate to fight for their rights. They had strong religious beliefs and unity, which led to their unification. They fought fiercely against the conquistadors, so the Spaniards considered Mindanao to be a separate country and recognized them as such. Much of history has caused Filipinos to be open-minded about how it influences our overall well-being. The long-term effect of Spanish ideas, attitudes, cognitive strategies, and professional methodologies, as well as capitalism, neoliberal education, and the political influence of Americans resulted in a change in tradition, beliefs, and the country's political decisions. As a consequence, we now have in the diversity of every person in the country, which is why every Filipino is abandoning their fellow Filipinos. We have seen it at various stages of history that even your own relatives can betray you. As I previously stated, there was a huge division and discrimination against the natural diversity of beliefs and principles due to the influence of the same occupying country, the main reason is the existence of semi-feudal and semi-colonial government in the country. Spain also left a negative impression on Islam, leading Christians to regard them as an outsider. Because of their unequal treatment, the Bangsamoro region were formed, and they abruptly identified as Bangsamoro people rather than Filipinos because they did not feel they belonged to it. This region is home to a diverse Muslim population that was once deprived of natural resources and lands not only by occupiers but also by our own government. Because of this people who claims their ancestral domain, they have learned to fight for their own rights. And they started fighting for the territory they live in and have been trying to protect for a long time. Discrimination against Muslims persists up to this day, particularly in Mindanao, where some Christians insult them. They regard them with contempt and disgust for their beliefs, and they recognize them as dangerous and causing chaos throughout the country. Because of this, some of them have been shunned by the public.

Rizal, a name that marks any individual in the Philippines. He was hailed as a "National Hero" for his achievements. He fought the Spaniards of his time as a nationalist, propagandist, and writer. The students recognized him as a valiant and heroic hero who saved the Philippines from the hands of the oppressive Spaniards from an early age. He was also the first hero I ever recognized and remembered. His published novels, such as Nole me Tangere and El Filibusterismo, in which he revealed the violence, corruption, and wicked deeds of Spanish friars and authorities, are emblematic of his courage. Rizal also imprinted many ideologies and catchphrases in the minds of Filipinos, causing him to become well-known and respected. As a result, calling it a National Hero is no longer unexpected. His death was the catalyst for the Filipinos to realized they needed to fight for themselves and not becoming slave for the invaders. But do you think his achievements deserve to be recognized as a National Hero? Because the more you get to know history there is more qualified for the position he belongs to. it seems that the Americans appear to have simply ingrained in the minds of Filipinos that Rizal should be a symbol of patriotism. Because they are aware of Rizal's stance against violent revolutions. Rizal was opposed to the desire to free the Philippines from the hands of the Spaniards, and we know that he was a Haciendero who profited from the church and the friar's wrongdoings. Now you must decide whether he deserves to be named a hero or if he was simply included because he died for the people.
