Most TV stations in the Philippines air the Philippine National Anthem when they sign-on and upon they sign-off.
ring the Marcos years yun ang pinaka mahigpit na regime. Anyone can just be jailed for no reason at all but the music arrangement of maestro San Pedro was accepted and he was not reprimanded for doing so because it was done with respect. Alam naman kung binababoy lang ang pag awit. There was a rock band, who played the national anthem in a concert and it was played unrespectfully...pa gimmick lang ba and these guys were jailed. Sila lang ang alam kong nakulong and may reason para ikulong.
If they truly want to follow the original composition and arrangement of Julian Felipe, then our national anthem should be played as an instrumental and not sung at all. The composition was originally written as an instrumental with a marching band performing it."
is entirely correct. The pertinent law (Republic Act 8491) is posted below. It doesn't take a genius to detect that sections 36 and 37, if taken literally and absolutely, actually contradict each other. If section 37's qualifier ("in accordance with") is to be taken liberally, then it bears interpretive scrutiny as it can mean a host of musical possibilities. As such, performances such as those done by Martin Nievera and Arnel Pineda, though painful for some purists (present company excluded), are well within the liberality of interpretive renditions, and certainly at the core of the narrower distinctive of section 38--"the singing must be done with fervor."
What boggles the mind is how this got passed into law. Where were our music historians, even our grammarians, the day this was crafted? This is pursuant to R.A. No. 8491, titled, “Flag and Heraldic Code of the Philippines.” Regarding about this, sections 35 to 38 of this code says:

- Male voice-over goes “Sa taong sanlibo siyam na raan siyam na pu’t walo, ipagdiriwang natin ang sandaan taong kalayaan, ngayon pa lang, sariwain na natin ang kahulugang ito sa mga titik ng ating Pambansang Awit.” In the video, you can see the “Philippine Centennial” logo designed by Edgardo Santiago and slogan “Kalayaan, Kayamanan ng Bayan” by Joachim Medroso. The rising sun shines its rays over a red and royal blue striped ribbon, twirled to form the figure 100. Underneath are the three stars which are also in the Philippine flag. The slogan aptly states the reason for the nationhood–that indeed, freedom is the true wealth of the nation. The gold “Philippine Centennial” is reversed to frame all elements.

- Over 30 seconds of this 1minute 10 second video showcases pre-Spanish Philippines. This video was also the first to show the Philippine American War-which was the accurate context for the words of the song--since Julian Felipe wrote the original poem--FILIPINAS- in Spanish on August 1899--while Filipino soldiers of independence where defending the new capital of the Philippines in Pampanga from the invading American army. That poem was selected by Emilio Aguinaldo to become the words of the song-which as become the symbol of our nationalism. Just two months prior to the words being written, the very first anniversary of June 12,1898 --which is Philippine Independence Day, was celebrated with a grand military parade in front of the Pamintuan Mansion in Pampanga. Thus, the first Republic of the Philippines was able to celebrate both the first anniversary of PH Independence Day as well as the very first Jose Rizal Day in 1898 and 1899.)

It will also be a part of GMA’s sign-on and sign-off messages marking the beginning and end of each day’s broadcast. Renowned film and television director Mark Reyes pitched the historical concept to GMA. “This will hopefully show and remind the younger generation what our heroes went through in history for our freedom. Being part of the network that has played a role in the scheme of history, I am edified to push in an artistic way the Filipinos’ passion for this country,” Reyes said. The GMA project team is composed of cinematographer Ding Achacoso (director of photography), Paul Ticzon (director), Vince Gealogo (co-director), Ingrid Navarro (producer) and cameramen Hanniel Aguilar, Javier Delgado and Paul Arrojado. The whole campaign was spearheaded by the creative team of GMA’s Program Support Department composed of Regie Bautista (VP), Dong Tan (associate creative director), Alex Almario (copy specialist), Dennis Tiu (art director), Hasmin Marable (senior project manager), and Minette Lopez (project manager). The 2010 Lupang Hinirang music video won the Bronze World Medal at the 2011 New York Festivals World’s Best TV Programs and Film Awards in the Music Video category and the Bronze Anvil from the 2011 Anvil Awards by the Public Relations Society of the Philippines (PRSP) in the Public Relations Tool category. This new theatrical version retells Philippine history through a succession of carefully-crafted and awe-inspiring reenactments of historical events from Lapu-Lapu’s victory over Magellan’s troops in the Battle of Mactan to the Filipinos’ peaceful revolt in pursuit of democracy in the 1986 People Power Revolution at EDSA. The new version, which was conceived from the strengthened corporate partnership between GMA Network and SM Cinemas, advances the narration of Philippine history from the standard versions released before. According to director Paul Ticzon, the team went through almost 10 months of meticulous research and preparation to shoot the vignettes. The roster of Kapuso stars who played Philippine historical icons include (in alphabetical order): Aljur Abrenica, Marvin Agustin, Victor Aliwalas, Alvin Aragon, Bea Binene, Iza Calzado, Bodie Cruz, Dingdong Dantes, Gabby and Geoff Eigenmann, Mark Anthony Fernandez, Carlo Gonzalez, Carl Guevarra, Richard Gutierrez, Dion Ignacio, Paolo Paraiso, Enzo Pineda, Rhian Ramos, Marian Rivera, Arthur Solinap, Mike Tan, JC Tiuseco, Dennis Trillo and TJ Trinidad.

- April 9, 2013-present (aired on GMA-7 and GMA News TV-11): The 2013 version pays tribute to the heroes of today by drawing inspiration from the heroes of yesteryear's. It opens with an artist sketching a portrait of Lapu-Lapu, which seamlessly transforms into a colorful animation of the events that shaped Philippine history from the Battle of Mactan, which saw the defeat of the Spanish conquistadors in the hands of the natives, to the Cry of Pugad Lawin and the one portrayed by a firefighter who braves the raging flames of a burning building in order to save an infant. The opening transcript voiced by GMA Network, Inc. President Jimmy Duavit: "Ang tugong gumuhit ng ating kasaysayan ng ating pagkatao ng ating lahi ay ang tugo ng kabayanihan. Mula sa mga bakas na iniwan ng ating mga ninuno, ating ipinagpapatuloy ang kanilang nasimulan sa mga paraan hinihingi ng anumang panahon. Taglay ang ipinamanang kagitingan at inspirasyon, dahil ang apoy nasumiklab ilang siglo na ang nakalilipas ay nabubuhay pa rin sa atin. Magpa-hanggang ngayon. Mga kababayan, ang Pambansang Awit ng Pilipinas." The main music of the national anthem begins as the heroes of the past are juxtaposed with modern heroes like a teacher who walks several miles to school daily to educate her pupils, a farmer who dutifully toils the land under the scorching heat of the sun to fend for his family, a traffic enforcer who continues to do his job despite being soaked in heavy rains, a doctor who compassionately attends to the medical needs of those in the barrios, overseas workers who endure being away from their loved ones in the hope of giving them a better future, an athlete who brings pride to his country, and the martyrdom of our national hero, Jose Rizal at the end, GMA Network Center Facade and SM Mall of Asia Facade at the end of GMA National Anthem 2013. While at the end is the Kapuso Tune and the GMA Network Logo.
