Our national anthem was first publicly played on June 12, 1898 as the Filipino flag
was being raised after the proclamation of the Philippine Independence by Gen.
Aguinaldo. It was composed by Julian Felipe and there were no words yet to the hymn
On September 3, 1899. Jose Palma's Lyric in Spanish was first published and it
was instantly accepted as fitting lyrics to the hymn.
In 1916, English was declared the official language in government offices and
schools, so the Spanish lyric had to be changed to English. A literal translation was made
by Martha Lane, an American school teacher who collaborated with Camilo Osias. This
became for a time the official version of our national anthem.
After the independence proclamation in 1946, it became necessary to have a
version in Filipino. Finally, in 1956 a stirring lyric in Filipino was approved and won public
acceptance. The Filipino National Anthem has remained unchanged since then.
