===Other anthems===
"Lupang Hinirang" was not the first Philippine national anthem to ever be conceived. The composer and revolutionist [[Julio Nakpil]] composed "[[Marangal na Dalit ng Katagalugan]]" (Honorable Hymn of the Tagalog Nation/People) upon the request of [[Andrés Bonifacio]], the leader of the [[Katipunan]], the secret society that had spearheaded the Revolution.<ref name="nakpil">{{Cite book |last=Nakpil |first=Julio |title=Julio Nakpil and the Philippine Revolution: With the Autobiography of Gregoria de Jesús |publisher=Academic Publishing Corporation |year=1997 |isbn=971-707-048-2 |editor-last=Alzona |editor-first=Encarnacion |location=Quezon City |translator-last=Encarnacion Alzona |author-link=Julio Nakpil |orig-year=1964}}</ref><ref name="richardson malacanang" /><ref name="richardson book">{{Cite book |last=Richardson |first=Jim |title=The Light of Liberty: Documents and Studies on the Katipunan, 1892-1897 |publisher=Ateneo de Manila University Press |year=2013 |isbn=9789715506755 |location=Quezon City}}</ref> Bonifacio had converted the organization into a revolutionary government—with himself as President—known as the [[Tagalog Republic]] just before hostilities erupted. The term "''Katagalugan''" in Bonifacio's usage referred to the Philippine Islands and its population as a whole; not just [[Tagalog people|ethnic Tagalogs]], but all [[Filipinos]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Guerrero |first=Milagros C. |date=2003 |orig-date=1996 |title=Andres Bonifacio and the 1896 Revolution |url=http://www.ncca.gov.ph/about_cultarts/articles.php?artcl_Id=5 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080118020717/http://www.ncca.gov.ph/about_cultarts/articles.php?artcl_Id=5 |archive-date=January 18, 2008 |access-date=September 26, 2007 |publisher=National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) |quote=The word tagalog means all those born in this archipelago; therefore, though visayan, ilocano, pamapango, etc. they are all tagalogs.}} [From the [[Kartilya ng Katipunan|Katipunan primer]].]</ref><ref name="richardson book" /> Nakpil composed his national anthem for Bonifacio in Balara (part of modern [[Quezon City]]) in November 1896, and Bonifacio later promoted its use in Cavite, where it was still known as late as 1898.<ref name="nakpil" /><ref name="richardson book" /> But after Bonifacio's ''Katipunan'' and ''Republika ng Katagalugan'' were superseded by a succession of various governments led by Aguinaldo starting in 1897, Nakpil's anthem was never officially adopted by them.<ref name="nakpil" /><ref name="richardson book" /><ref name="richardson malacanang" />

During [[World War II]], [[Felipe Padilla de León]] composed "[[Awit sa Paglikha ng Bagong Pilipinas]]", commissioned as a replacement anthem by the [[Japanese occupation of the Philippines|Japanese-sponsored]] [[Second Philippine Republic]]. It was later adapted during the [[Martial law under Ferdinand Marcos|martial law era]] under President [[Ferdinand Marcos]] into the patriotic song titled "Hymn of the New Society", not to be confused with the "[[Bagong Pagsilang|March of the New Society]]".
