Bautista. Read by Bautista on June 12, 1898, during the proclamation of independence at Aguinaldo’s home in Kawit, Cavite. Declared independence from Spain and listed abuses starting from Ferdinand Magellan’s arrival in 1521. The Declaration is housed in the National Library of the Philippines, not on public display but viewable upon request.  Featured the First Philippine Flag and the Marcha Filipino Magdalo (later Lupang Hinirang), played by the San Francisco de Malabon Marching Band. The Philippine Flag, designed by Aguinaldo and sewn in Hongkong by Mrs. Marcela Agoncillo with the help of Delfina Herbosa and Lorenza Agoncillo, was officially hoisted for the first time to the accompaniment of the ''Marcha Filipino Magdalo.‘’  Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo commissioned Julian Felipe on June 5, 1898 to compose a march for the revolutionists to inspire unity and resistance. Felipe worked on the assignment for six days and on June 11, sitting in front of a piano in the Aguinaldo living room, played his music before the presidente and his lieutenants. Named by Felipe the Marcha Filipino Magdalo, the music was adopted on the spot and renamed the Marcha Nacional Filipina (Philippine National March).  Jose Palma, a 23-year old soldier who was as adept with the pen, wrote a poem entitled "Filipinas" and this was wed to the Felipe composition. In 1956, a new version penned by the Surian ng Wikang Pambansa (Institute of National Language) was adopted. These are the official Filipino lyrics sung all over the country today and given wider propagation through radio, television and cinema. SUMMARY (3) The Declaration was stolen in the 1980s/1990s and returned by a UP professor in 1994. General Aguinaldo believed the declaration would inspire the people and gain international recognition. The nation decided to continue using the same flag described in the following slides: PHILIPPINE FLAG WHITE TRIANGLE distinctive emblem of the famous Society of the "Katipunan" which by means of its blood compact inspired the masses to rise in revolution THREE STARS three principal Islands of these Archipelago - Luzon, Mindanao, and Panay where the revolutionary movement started SUN gigantic step made by the son of the country along the path of Progress and Civilization  EIGHT RAYS May BuNE Ca PaLa Batang Tarlac 1.
