Marangal Na Dalit Ng Katagalugan-First National Anthem of The Philippines

The Marangál na Dalit ng̃ Katagalugan is a song of the Philippine Revolution composed in November 1896 by Julio Nakpil at the request of Andres Bonifacio as the anthem of the revolutionary Tagalog Republic. However, this nascent revolutionary government was displaced and superseded by a succession of revolutionary governments headed by Emilio Aguinaldo and the composition known today as Lupang Hinirang became the national anthem of the Republic of the Philippines.
Nakpil was requested by Andres Bonifacio to compose a national anthem for his conceptual Filipino nation-state as realized through the Katipunan as its revolutionary government, of which he was the "Supremo". This concept of the Filipino nation was called the Haring Bayang Katagalugan, "Sovereign Nation of the Tagalog People", also known as the Republika ng Katagalugan "Republic of the Tagalog Nation", simplified in other languages as "Tagalog Republic", with "sovereign nation" and "republic" being used interchangeably, and "Tagalog" etc. being used in place of "Filipino", etc.
The song was first performed in Bonifacio's camp in Balara in November 1896. The form chosen by Nakpil, the dalit, was traditionally a sung prayer or supplication. Later, Nakpil sent a copy of the Himno Nacional to Bonifacio, who was then in Cavite, together with a letter to him dated January 30, 1897. Bonifacio acknowledged this in a reply letter dated February 13.
However, in an ensuing power struggle involving Bonifacio and the Magdalo and Magdiwang factions of the Katipunan in Cavite, the Katipunan revolutionary government was displaced and superseded by a succession of revolutionary governments headed by Emilio Aguinaldo, and Bonifacio was eventually executed by that government on May 7.
