Description: From Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lupang_Hinirang Lupang Hinirang is the national anthem of the Philippines. Its music was composed in 1898 by Julian Felipe, with lyrics in Spanish adapted from the poem Filipinas, written by a young poet-soldier named Jose Palma in 1899. Originally written as incidental music, it did not have words when it was adopted as the National Anthem of the Philippines and subsequently played during the proclamation of Philippine independence on June 12, 1898. During the American occupation of the Philippines, the colonial government banned the song from being played with the passage of the Flag Law. The law was repealed in 1919 and the song was translated into English and would be legalized as the "Philippine Hymn." It was then translated into Filipino beginning in the 1940s with a 1966 version serving as the present anthem. Its use is governed by Republic Act No. 8491 or the Flag and Heraldic Code of the Philippines of 1998. The national anthem, however, is known to many Filipinos simply as Bayang Magiliw ("beloved country"), from the first line of the anthem. Lyrics : 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.

petdoctor24  2008-02-26 08:27:15 I think this video was made to uplift the filipino as well as the kapamilya spirit, I don't see anything wrong with this video because it is being used in signing-on/signing-off of the station... you should at least appreciate the artistry in this video, very nice, and very cinamatographic... Isa pa, ngaun lang ako nakakita ng network na binigyan talaga ng budget ung lupang hinirang, halos parang station ID na din to eh __________________________________________________
