Lupang Hinirang : The Philippine National Anthem

Image
Today, we commemorate our independence. As a tribute, I'm posting The Philippine National Anthem. Lupang Hinirang is the national anthem of the Philippines. Its music was composed in 1898 by Julian Felipe, with lyrics in Spanish adapted from the poem Filipinas, written by José Palma in 1899. 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 ng dahil sa 'yo. To check out the video and the English version, click Read More.

The declaration, however, was not recognized by the United States or Spain, as the Spanish government ceded the Philippines to the United States in the 1898 Treaty of Paris , in consideration for an indemnity for Spanish expenses and assets lost. The United States recognized Philippine independence on July 4, 1946 in the Treaty of Manila . [ 1 ] Independence Day was o...
