The correct answer to the question is Francisco Olive.

José Rizal, the Philippine national hero, was tried by a court-martial in 1896 during the Spanish colonial period for charges of sedition, rebellion, and conspiracy against the Spanish government. The trial featured a military court composed primarily of Spanish officers. Francisco Olive presided as the president of the court.

This trial and subsequent execution of Rizal played a significant role in inspiring the Philippine Revolution against Spanish rule. Olive's role in the court-martial was pivotal as it represented the military and colonial authority’s attempt to suppress dissent and maintain control over the Philippines during a time of growing nationalist sentiment. The trial was widely criticized for its lack of fairness and being politically motivated, further cementing Rizal's legacy as a martyr for Philippine independence.
