Beloved country, |
Lupang hinirang, |
Chosen Land, |
Sa dagat at bundok, |
Through the seas and mountains, |
Ang kislap ng watawat mo'y |
The sparkle of your flag |
Lupa ng araw, ng luwalhati't pagsinta, |
Land of the morning, of glory, of our affection, |

"Lupang Hinirang" is the national anthem of the Philippines. Its music was composed in 1898 by Julian Felipe in Spanish, with lyrics adapted from the poem Filipinas, written by a young poet-soldier named Jose Palma in 1899. Lupang Hinirang means "Chosen Land" in Filipino (photo: Makati City /source: Wikipedia).
