Rizal, like any celebrity endorser, is no stranger to the world of commercialism. Unlike those long-gone Hollywood celebrities getting royalties for the use of their pictures for product and brand, the use of Rizal’s face and name is free. If companies would pay royalties to Rizal’s family then they would be far richer by now.
There are those who believe that Rizal’s name should be treated with respect and not to have it on products like cigar and beer, but the name has been used to label such commodities – in good faith of course.
For almost 110 years now Rizal is still endorsing a cement company, a bank, a university, t shirts and other pop culture memorabilia.
Here are some of my Dad's memorabilia that used Jose Rizal as endorser to products and companies.
