Bayan Ko

Bayan Ko

"Bayan Ko" (English: My Country, Spanish: Nuestra Patria) is one of the most recognisable patriotic songs of the Philippines. Written originally in Spanish by Filipino general José Alejandrino, this kundiman is often considered the unofficial second national anthem, and is sometimes assumed to be a folk song because of its popularity. It is also a protest song, often sung during demonstrations, and sometimes by Overseas Filipino groups after "Lupang Hinirang" or by itself.
