"Lupang Hinirang" (Baybayin: ᜎᜓᜉᜅ᜔ ᜑᜒᜈᜒᜇᜅ᜔, Tagalog pronunciation: [ˈlupɐŋ hɪˈniɾɐŋ] LOO-pang hee-NEE-rang; "Chosen Land"), originally known in Spanish as "Marcha Nacional Filipina", is the national anthem of the Philippines. Its music was composed by Julián Felipe in 1898, and the lyrics (words) were adapted from the Spanish poem Filipinas, which was written by Filipino soldier José Palma y Velásquez a year later. This song was first adopted as the anthem of the First Philippine Republic in 1898, but without words. By the 1940s, the original Spanish lyrics were translated into Filipino (a variety of Tagalog). The Filipino lyrics became official in 1958 and was revised in 1963, then it became embedded in law in 1998.^[1][2]
