Upon repeal of the Flag Act in 1919, the national march regained its popular status as the national anthem of the Philippines. Under the Flag Act, public performance of the national march was prohibited. It was re-adopted as the national march of the Philippine Republic ( Spanish: República Filipina) in 1899.įollowing the defeat of the First Republic in the Philippine–American War and the subsequent colonial rule of the United States, the Flag Act of 1907 prohibited the public display of flags, banners, emblems, or devices used by the Philippine Republican Army during the war. It was first performed in public during the proclamation of Philippine independence at Aguinaldo's residence in Kawit, Cavite on June 12, 1898. The composition 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. Its music was composed in 1898 by Julián Felipe, and the lyrics were adopted from the Spanish poem " Filipinas", written by José Palma in 1899. " Lupang Hinirang" (Chosen Land), originally titled in Spanish as " Marcha Nacional Filipina" (Philippine National March), is the national anthem of the Philippines.
