Ilongo and Music
Philosophy of the Hymn: The hymn is about patriot declarating his land Iloilo and the sweetness of his noble blessedness . He attributes it to his land no less. Bewitched by its charm , he made a pledge not to leave . Driven by the genteel feeling and laid-back life beneath the ocean , the patriot felt dancing because of exceeding joy.

Iloilo ang Banwa ko
Angel M. Magahum Sr
Hiligaynon Original English
Iloilo ang banwa ko ginahingadlan Iloilo , the town of mine I love
Matam-is nga pulong ang akon gin mat-an Sweet counsel I have raised
Dili ko ikaw bulagan I will never leave you
Banwa kong malulut-an Oh town of mine I adore
Ikaw ang ginkuha-an sang kalipayan You are the source of joy
Ilonggo ako nga tunay Ilongo is my blood
Nga nagapuyo sa higad sang baybay Which is living on seashore
Manami magki-ay ki-ay It's nice to sway
Sa tagipusuon bug-os ang kalipay Over the heart full of joy
Tagalog Spanish
Ilo-ilo ang Bayan kong minamahal Iloilo el Pueblo que adoro
Mabuting aral aking kina-gisnan Dulce palabras en que nacido
Hindi kita iiwan Ojala no lo dejare nunca
Bayan kong kinagigiliwan. El puebo que me encanto
Ikaw ang pinag kukunan ng kaligayahan Vosotros es el rason por alegria
Ilongo kaming tunay Ilongo soy verdadero
Nakatira sa tabing baybay Voy a estar de la playa
Masarap kumembot kembot Ay que bonita bailar
Sa puso kong puno ng kagalakan A corazon lleno de alegria
Ilongo rule in the mankind is astounding , seven seas have Ilongo sailors that ship oil and products necessary for international trade. Ilongo compassionate hand had touched millions in the world , it raised families of varrying colors , against all odds weathering any storms. She is lifting her face humbly into the
future .The same ancient culture of serenity , her most blessed nature.
