-Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo requested Mrs. Marcela
Marino de Agoncillo, the wife of the first Filipino

III. PHILIPPINE NATIONAL ANTHEM
• Upon Gen. Aguinaldo’s return from Hong Kong on June 5, 1898,
he met with Julian Felipe and asked him to compose a national
anthem.
• Originally called “Marcha Filipina Magdalo” and performed
without lyrics with a tempo of 2/4; later known as “Marcha
Nacional Filipina”
• A year after the composition of the anthem, the lyrics were adopted
form Jose Palma’s poem Filipinas, which was in Spanish;(but
sometimes was changed to 4/4 because the music was too fast for
singing)
• During Magsaysay’s administration, then Education Secretary
Gregorio Hernandez commissioned the revision of the lyrics to
Tagalog.
In Julian Felipe’s memoirs, it was said that the National Anthem
was based on three musical pieces namely, The Marcha Real, the
Grand March Giuseppe Verde’s Aida, and La Marseillaise.

It was played by the band of San Francisco de Malabon.
The anthem was finally sung in Filipino on May 26, 1956; minor
revision were made in 1960s and it is the version that we sing
today.
