Our National Anthem: Freemasons' Song Of Glorious Freedom

The untold story of our National Anthem is that the music and the lyrics came into being because of the inspiration and prompting of Freemasons.


Marcha Nacional Filipina


Armed with a letter of recommendation from Gen. Mariano Trias, music composer Julian Filipe had an audience with Gen. Emilio F. Aguinaldo on June 5, 1898.


The piano rendition of Felipe was euphonically pleasant to hear but Gen. Aguinaldo asked the talented composer for another martial air with patriotic fervor.


On June 11th, Felipe came up with a draft. Gen. Baldomero Aguinaldo and Gen. Mariano Trias, together with other revolutionary leaders, took time out to listen to the marching tempo of the composition and were pleased with the martial opus.
