Шаблон:Distinguish Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Use Philippine English Шаблон:Infobox anthem "Bagong Pagsilang" (Шаблон:Lang-en), also known as the "March of the New Society" and incorrectly referred to by its chorus "Sa Bagong Lipunan" (In the New Society), is a march commissioned during the presidency of Ferdinand Marcos for the Kilusang Bagong Lipunan or New Society Movement, a movement introduced by Marcos upon the declaration of martial law in 1972. The lyrics were written by Levi Celerio and the music was composed by Felipe Padilla de León in 1973.[1][2][3][4][5]

A new rendition of the song was performed by the rock band Plethora and was used as the campaign anthem by his son, Bongbong Marcos, during his 2022 presidential campaign. This was even used as an inspection march of President Bongbong Marcos during the 78th Leyte Landing Anniversary on October 20, 2022, and during his camp visit to the Eastern Mindanao Command in Davao City on October 27, 2022.

Compositional history

According to the composer's eldest son, Felipe Mendoza de Leon, two days after the declaration of martial law, at 2 a.m., two military trucks came to their house asking for a "hymn and a march for the New Society" as requested by First Lady Imelda Marcos to be delivered by Sunday. Felipe asked his son for help, with the father focusing on the hymn and the son working on the first 16-bars of the march. After the hymn was finished, he completed the rest of the march his son has started.[6] The composer is said to have put subversive elements to Bagong Pagsilang, just like he did on his 1942 "Awit sa Paglikha ng Bagong Pilipinas". According to his eldest son on a lecture, the composer secretly quoted a portion of the protest song "Bayan Ko" in a part of the song.[7]

The march, along with its complementing hymn ("Bagong Lipunan") also composed by Felipe Padilla de Leon,[8] was featured on the 1973 proprietary vinyl album Mga Awitin At Tugtugin Ng Pilipinas Sa Bagong Lipunan performed by The Philippine Constabulary Band and The Philippine Constabulary Choral Ensemble.[9][10][11] The march, hymn, and other patriotic songs were published in 1974 in the book "Mga Awit sa Bagong Lipunan" ("Songs in the New Society").[12]

<poem> Koro: May bagong silang. May bago nang buhay, Bagong bansa, bagong galaw Sa Bagong Lipunan! Magbabago ang lahat, tungo sa pag-unlad, At ating itanghal: Bagong Lipunan!

Koro

Ang gabi'y nagmaliw nang ganap, At lumipas na ang magdamag. Madaling araw ay nagdiriwang. May umagang namasdan. Ngumiti na ang pag-asa Sa umagang anong ganda!

Koro </poem>

<poem> Chorus: There is new birth. There is now a new life, A new country, a new movement In the New Society! Everything will change towards progress And let us extol: [A] New Society!

Chorus

The night has departed completely, And the midnight has passed. The dawn celebrates, For morning was seen. Hope smiles down upon On this morning, oh so beautiful![13]

Chorus </poem>
