The official anthem of the Commonwealth of the
Northern Mariana Islands was written by Mr. Jose S.
Pangelinan presumably around the time after World
War II had ended. During the First Constitutional
Convention, a resolution was introduced to compel the
new government to proclaim the song as the official
anthem of the soon to be created Commonwealth of the
Northern Mariana Islands. In 1996, it became the
official anthem by virtue of Public Law 10-28, authored
in the Tenth CNMI Legislature and signed by then-
Governor Froilan Cruz Tenorio into law. Both versions
of the anthem are taught to students as well as
displayed prominently in official programs and posters.
The melody of the song is taken from the German tune
"Im Schoensten Wiesengrunde", written by Wilhelm
Ganzhorn.
Since the islands are a United States dependency, the
national anthem is still the "Star Spangled Banner"
