The Philippine National Anthem was composed by Julian Felipe, a Filipino music teacher and composer of Cavite. He completed it on June 11, 1898, and showed it to General Aguinaldo, who right away liked it because of its inspiring melody. The following day the music band of San Francisco de Malabon performed it for the first time during the unfolding of the Filipino flag at Kawit during the Independence Day ceremony.

For more than a year the anthem remained without words. Towards the end of August of 1899, a young poet-soldier named Jose Palma wrote the poem entitled Filipinas. This poem expressed in elegant Spanish verses the devoted patriotism and fighting spirit of the Filipino people. It became the words of the anthem and today the anthem is sung in Pilipino, its official lyrics interpreted by Felipe de Leon, from the original Spanish lyrics in the early 1900s. There are also English translations, thought by many to be inaccurate, due to the fact that some English versions were translated from the Tagalog version, and other English versions were translated from the original Spanish. One version was translated by Camilo Osias and A. L. Lane.

“Lupang Hinirang”

Composed by Julian Felipe on June 12, 1898

Bayang magiliw, perlas ng silanganan.

Alab ng puso, sa dibdib mo’y buhay.

Lupang hinirang, duyan ka ng magiting

Sa manlulupig, di ka pasisiil.

Sa dagat at bundok, sa simoy at

sa langit mong bughaw,

may dilag ang tula at awit

sa paglayang minamahal.

Ang kislap ng watawat mo’y

tagumpay na nagniningning.

Ang bituin at araw niya

kailan pa may di magdidilim.

Lupa ng araw, ng lualhati’t pagsinta,

buhay ay langit sa piling mo.

Aming ligaya na pag may mang-aapi,

ang mamatay ng dahil sa iyo.

LUPANG HINIRANG

Bayang Magiliw

Perlas ng Silanganan,

Alab ng puso

Sa dibdib mo’y buhay.

Lupang hinirang,

Duyan ka ng magiting,

Sa manlulupig,

‘Di ka pasisiil.

Sa dagat at bundok,

Sa simoy at sa langit mong bughaw,

May dilag ang tula at awit

Sa paglayang minamahal.

Ang kislap ng watawat mo’y

Tagumpay na nagniningning,

Ang bituin at araw niya

Kailan pa ma’y ‘di magdidilim.

Lupa ng araw, ng luwalhati’t pagsinta,

Buhay ay langit sa piling mo;

Aming ligaya, na ‘pag may mang-aapi

Ang mamatay nang dahil sa ‘yo.

This is the lyrics
