"Bayan Ko" (English: My Country) is one of the most recognizable patriotic songs in the Philippines that, because of its popularity, is sometimes assumed to be a folk song and the unofficial national anthem of the Philippines. It was originally written as a poem by José Corazón de Jesús in 1929, and set to music by Constancio de Guzman.
Written as a protest song during the American occupation of the Philippines, "Bayan Ko" is often sung in protest rallies and demonstrations throughout Philippine, notably during the funeral of Sen. Ninoy Aquino, Jr. and the ensuing People Power Revolution where Freddie Aguilar led the crowd to sing the song's chorus. It has also been re-arranged and recorded by different composers and singers, notably by Lucio San Pedro (Nat'l Artist for music) and Freddie Aguilar.
