Pilipinas Kong Mahal (English: Philippines, My Philippines) is one of the most popular patriotic songs in the Philippines.[2] The song was composed by Filipino musician, Francisco Santiago and lyrics by Ildefonso Santos.[1] However, the original text was in English, for "Philippines, my Philippines." It was written by Prescott Ford Jernegan. The musical tune was adapted from the US state song, "Maryland, My Maryland." Santiago changed the melody, and Santos translated the Jernegan text into Filipino for Pilipinas kong Mahal.[3]
In the Philippines, patriotic songs are often sung by people at political rallies, protests and demonstrations.[citation needed] These are also performed in plays and patriotic song or dance numbers, especially in schools during Araw ng Kalayaan (Independence Day) celebrations in June and Buwan ng Wika (Language Month) in August.
This patriotic song is usually sung during flag retreat ceremonies on Fridays.[clarification needed]
