Lupang Hinirang began as incidental music which President Emilio Aguinaldo commissioned for use in the proclamation of Philippine independence from Spain. This task was given to Julián Felipe and was to replace a march which Aguinaldo had deemed unsatisfactory. The original title of this new march was Marcha Filipina-Magdalo (Philippine-Magdalo March), and was later changed to Marcha Nacional Filipina (Philippine National March) upon its adoption as the national anthem of the First Philippine Republic on June 11, 1898, a day before independence was to be proclaimed.
LYRICS OF NATIONAL ANTHEMS OF PHILIPPINES:
Bayang magiliw,
Land of the morning,
Perlas ng silanganan,
Child of the sun returning,
Alab ng puso
With fervor burning
Sa dibdib mo’y buhay.
Thee do our souls adore.
*
Lupang hinirang,
Land dear and holy,
Duyan ka ng magiting,
Cradle of noble heroes,
Sa manlulupig
Ne’er shall invaders
Di ka pasisiil.
Trample thy sacred shores.
*
Sa dagat at bundok,
Ever within thy skies and through thy clouds,
Sa simoy at sa langit mong bughaw,
And o’er thy hills and seas,
May dilag ang tula
Do we behold the radiance, feel the throb
At awit sa paglayang minamahal.
Of glorious liberty.
*
Ang kislap ng watawat mo’y
Thy banner dear to all our hearts,
Tagumpay na nagniningning;
Its sun and stars alight,
Ang bituin at araw niya,
Oh, never shall its shining fields
Kailan pa ma’y di magdidilim.
Be dimmed by tyrant’s might!
*
Lupa ng araw, ng luwalhati’t pagsinta,
Beautiful land of love, o land of light,
Buhay ay langit sa piling mo;
In thine embrace ‘tis rapture to lie,
Aming ligaya na ‘pag may mang-aapi,
But it is glory ever, when thou art wronged,
Ang mamatay nang dahil sa ‘yo.
For us, thy sons to suffer and die.
