BAYAN KO - PILIPINAS KONG MAHAL (Constancio De Guzman) by RAFFY LATA

HAPPY 125TH PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE DAY

The unofficial national anthem of the Philippines, Bayan Ko, was composed by Constancio de Guzman in 1929, over 30 years after the Spanish-American War which marked the end of Spain's three-century-long occupation of the islands. The Spanish lyrics of Bayan Ko were originally written for the Severino Reyes zarzuela, Walang Sugat ("no wound"). Attributed to the propagandista, General José Alejandrino, the song expressed opposition to the ongoing American Occupation. The popular and mainly used 1929 Tagalog version is attributed to José Corazón de Jesús, and the music to Constancio de Guzmán. It is often sung in protest rallies and demonstrations throughout Philippine history.

Interpersed with Bayan ko is a very short but relevant song titled PILIPINAS KONG MAHAL. This song is one of the most popular patriotic songs in the Philippines. It was composed by Filipino musician, Francisco Santiago and lyrics by Ildefonso Santos. However, the original text was in English, for "Philippines, my Philippines." It was written by Prescott Ford Jernegan. The musical tune was adapted from the US state song, "Maryland, My Maryland." Santiago changed the melody, and Santos translated the Jernegan text into Filipino for Pilipinas kong Mahal.
