"Bayan Kong Hirang" - Medley of Filipino Patriotic Songs

CORRECTION: The title of the medley is "Bayan Kong Hirang", not "Bayang Hirang".
---------------
"Bayan Kong Hirang" is a medley of Filipino patriotic songs arranged by Prof. Josefino "Chino" Toledo. It includes the patriotic songs "Bayan Ko", "Pilipinas Kong Mahal", and the National Anthem of the Philippines. It was first performed during a concert commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the First Quarter Storm last Feb. 14, 2020.
About the songs in the medley:
BAYAN KO
"Bayan Ko" (usually translated as "My Country"; Spanish: Nuestra patria, lit. 'Our Fatherland') is one of the most recognizable patriotic songs of the Philippines. It was written in Spanish by the Revolutionary general José Alejandrino in light of the Philippine-American War and subsequent American occupation, and translated into Tagalog some three decades later by the poet José Corazón de Jesús.
The song, which is a kundiman, is often considered the unofficial second national anthem of the Philippines, and is sometimes sung by Overseas Filipinos groups after the Lupang Hinirang or by itself. It is sometimes assumed to be a folk music because of its popularity, and due to the nature of its lyrics it has been used as a protest song by different political groups at various points in Philippine history.
PILIPINAS KONG MAHAL
Pilipinas Kong Mahal (English: Philippines, My Philippines) is one of the most popular patriotic songs in the Philippines. The song was composed by Filipino musician, Francisco Santiago and lyrics by Ildefonso Santos. However, the original text was in English, for "Philippines, my Philippines." It was written by Prescott Ford Jernegan. Musical tune was adapted from the state song, "Maryland, My Maryland." Santiago composed a new tune, and Santos translated the Jernegan text into Filipino for Pilipinas kong Mahal.
LUPANG HINIRANG
Lupang Hinirang" ("Chosen Land"), originally titled in Spanish as "Marcha Nacional Filipina" ("Philippine National March") and commonly known by its incipit "Bayang Magiliw" ("Beloved Country"), is the national anthem of the Philippines. Its music was composed in 1898 by Julián Felipe, and the lyrics were adopted from the Spanish poem "Filipinas", written by José Palma in 1899.
In the years after the revolution, the poem "Filipinas", written in 1899 by nationalist José Palma, gained widespread popularity as unofficial Spanish lyrics of the anthem. The Spanish lyrics were translated into English and, beginning in the 1940s, in the national language. The current Filipino lyrics, written in 1956, were adopted and made official subject to a slight revision in the 1960s. On February 12, 1998, Republic Act No. 8491 was passed, codifying the 1956 Filipino lyrics into law.

This has to be the most patriotic Lupang Hinirang I've ever seen. The passion in the instrumental, the patriotism in singing, there's something unrivalled about it from other variations...

This is from the University of the Philippines rendition -- celebrating the First Quarter Storm of student activism in the 1970s. The "storm" was a nationalist cry against American control of Philippine economy and politics. The violent crackdown against the student demonstrators ended up with the student going underground and fighting under the banner of the Communist Party of the Philippines. The best sons and daughters of the country didn't join the military or the government, with all the money that brings. They met secretly, were tortured, continued and still continue to fight for a better society for the workers and farmers.

Hearing this live back then really gave me the goosebumps as if I was there, on those momentous moments of the First Quarter Storm. Tuloy ang laban! Para sa bayan!

Napakagandang medley! Isa sa napakagandang rendisyon ng ating pambansang awit na napakinggan ko.

Napakaganda ng Lupang Hinirang dito a... Trionfale e maestoso!

[@comedy_goblin6378]

This video is so underrated. I haven’t heard a rendition of the national anthem that goes harder. And the song right before it... chef’s kiss

[@curestarlight3765]

True, i hooe that someone will recreate this rendition, as this is more on the patriotic and joyous version of the anthem

The cut to Bantayog in the last part of the National Anthem ["ang mamatay nang dahil sa 'yo"] is in keeping in with the theme of the FQS concert, of course, but it's so nice to see. That promise we make every time we sing the anthem has been kept by the thousands of activists and Red Fighters all across the country killed by the imperialists. Nationalism is only second nature to them. Another MV on this site for the song "Rosas ng Digma" also cut to Bantayog for its last line ["at isang pag-ibig, tunay at dakila"].
