The current Tagalog lyrics, Lupang Hinirang , were officially adopted during the term of President Ramon Magsaysay. 🎼 The Music and Lyrics

Julian Felipe composed the music as an instrumental march titled Marcha Nacional Filipina . It was first played during the Proclamation of Independence in Kawit, Cavite, 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.
