| About the Song: | Written during the time when the Filipinos were fighting for independence from the United States, the song expresses a nationalist sentiment which eventually became a battlecry against colonialism and oppression at different periods in Philppine history. Popular during the Japanese regime, and later, in the rallies and protest marches against the Marcos administration, it tells about love for the nation, unlike many of the popular kundimans that tell about love for someone. (From the CCP Encyclopedia of Philippine Art., vol. 6, p. 228) |

During the 1896 Philippine Revolution, our valiant forebears also made use of music as a means of expressing their love of country and dreams for a free Philippines. They also wrote songs to inspire them in their mission. Perhaps the most popular song during the revolution against Spain was the kundiman “Jocelynang Baliwag,” also known as the “Kundiman ng Himagsikan.” MORE
