Julio Nakpil composed "Marangal na Dalit ng Katagalugan", the first Philippine National Anthem, at the request of Andres Bonifacio. Nakpil married Gregoria de Jesus, the widow of Bonifacio. The lyrics refer to the whole country rather than just Tagalog regions. This anthem could have become the official national anthem instead of "Lupang Hinirang" if history had unfolded differently.

ng Katagalugan

2. Let’s have some idea……….
• Marangal na Dalit ng Katagalugan, the first Philippine National
Anthem, which was composed by revolutionary musician Julio
Nakpil.
• Julio Nakpil, composer of the Katipunan,married Gregoria de
Jesus, widow of Andres Bonifacio. This tune "Marangal na dalit ng
Katagalugan" could have become our National Anthem instead of
"Lupang Hinirang" (aka Bayang Magiliw) had history taken a
different turn.

3. Life of the composer Julio Nakpil
 Known as J. Giliw in the Katipinan, Julio Nakpil is
known more as a composer than as the commander of
all the Katipunan troops in the north. At the request of
Andres Bonifacio, Nakpil composed "Marangal na
Dalit ng Katagalugan" as the national anthem that is
also known as the Himno Nacional of 1896.
 Julio Nakpil's original Tagalog lyrics of Himno
Nacional (1896) uses the word "Sangkapuluan",
indicating that the word "katagalugan" in the original
title "Marangal na Dalit ng Katagalugan" refers to the
whole country and not just the tagalog regions. At the
time the Katipunan was founded, the term
"Filipino" referred only to the Spanish born in Las
Islas Filipinas. In his unpublished memoir, “Ang
Paghihimagsik ng 1896-1897” (The Revolution of 18961897), Carlos V. Ronquillo explained the term
"tagalog":
