Lupang Hinirang

National Anthem of the Philippines.
"Lupang Hinirang", lit. 'Chosen Land'; originally titled in Spanish as the Marcha Nacional Filipina (Philippine National March), is the national anthem of the Philippines. Its music was composed in 1898 by Julián Felipe, and the lyrics were adapted from the Spanish poem Filipinas, written by José Palma in 1899.
The composition now known as Lupang Hinirang was commissioned on June 5, 1898 by Emilio Aguinaldo, head of the Dictatorial Government of the Philippines, as a ceremonial and instrumental national march without lyrics, similar to the status of the Marcha Real in Spain. Replacing the revolutionary hymn Marangal na Dalit ng Katagalugan, which Aguinaldo found inadequate for an anthem, the Marcha Nacional was adopted as the national march of the Philippine Republic (Spanish: República Filipina). It was first performed in public during the proclamation of Philippine independence at Aguinaldo's residence in Kawit, Cavite on June 12, 1898.
