An ideal hero that could equal Jose P Rizal would be Dr. Fe del Mundo.

I really think she is as good as rizal because she, like rizal risked her life for the welfare of the filipinos. Instead of minding her own bussiness , she ought to develop new ways to cure the sick and later on invent a revolutionary device which has already saved many lives. Below is a video in honor of her, enjoy!
