"Lupang Hinirang" is the national anthem of the Philippines, with music composed in 1898 by Julian Felipe and words taken from the poem Filipinas, which was written by a young poet-soldier named Jose Palma in 1899. Lupang Hinirang means "Chosen Land" in Filipino.

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.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Beloved country,
Pearl of the Orient,
The heart's fervor
In your bosom is ever alive.

Chosen Land,
You are the cradle of the brave.
To the conquerors
You shall never surrender.

Through the seas and mountains,
Through the air and your azure skies,
There is splendor in the poem
And song for dear freedom.

The sparkle of your flag
Is shining victory.
Its stars and sun
Forever will never dim.

Land of the morning, of glory, of our affection,
Life is heaven in your arms;
When someone oppresses you, it is our pleasure
To die for you.


BIKOL TRANSLATION: RONA KANG MAWILI
Dagang namo-motan
Aki ka nin sirangan
Tingraw niyang malaad
Nasa si-mong daghan.

Rona kang mawili
Nagimatan bayani
An mansalakay
Dai ka babatayan.

Sa si-mong langit, bukid
Hayop kadagatan siring man
Nagkukutab nagbabanaag
An si-mong katalingkasan.

Simong bandera na nagkikintab
Sa hokbo naglayaw
Dai nanggad mapapara
An simong bitoon Aldaw.

Dagang nawilihan, maogma, maliwanag,
Sa limpoy mo hamis mabuhay
Minamarhay mi kun ika pagbasangan
An buhay mi si-mo idusay.


CEBUANO TRANSLATION: NASODNONG AWIT
Yutang tabonon
Mutyang masilakon,
Putling bahandi,
Amo kang gimahal.

Mithing gisimba,
Yutas mga bayani,
Sa manlulupig,
Pagadapigan ka.

Ang mga bungtod mo,
Ug lapyahan sa langit mong bughaw,
Nagahulad sa awit, lamdag sa
Kaliwat tang gawas.

Silaw sa adlaw ug bituon
Sa nasodnong bandila,
Nagatimaan nga buhion ta
Ang atong pagkausa.

Yutang maanyag, duyan ka sa pagmahal,
Landong sa langit ang dughan mo;
Pakatam-ison namo kon maulipon man
Ang mamatay sa ngalan mo.
