Bayan Ko, or its popular translation in English is My Country, is a popular song generally sang during protest marches, demonstrations and rallies against the Marcos dictatorship. It has become an anthem by nationalist Filipinos. In some occasions, it is sang after the Philippine National Anthem, Lupang Hinirang.

Ang bayan kong Pilipinas
Lupain ng ginto't bulaklak
Pag-ibig na sa kanyang palad
Nag-alay ng ganda't dilag
At sa kanyang yumi at ganda
Dayuhan ay nahalina
Bayan ko, binihag ka
Nasadlak sa dusa
CHORUS
Ibon mang may layang lumipad
Kulungin mo at umiiyak
Bayan pa kayang sakdal-dilag
Ang 'di magnasang makaalpas
Pilipinas kong minumutya
Pugad ng luha at dalita
Aking adhika
Makita kang sakdal laya
Lyrics of Kumusta, mga kaibigan
Lyrics of Maging sino ka man
