GMA-7's Philippine national anthem "Lupang Hinirang" cinematic video

GMA Network delivered another superb presentation as they released the cinematic version of the Philippine national anthem "Lupang Hinirang" featuring the brightest Kapuso stars.

It retells the Philippine History through a succession of carefully-crafted and awe-inspiring reenactments of historical events from Lapu-Lapu’s victory over Magellan’s troops in the Battle of Mactan to the Filipinos’ peaceful revolt in pursuit of democracy in the 1986 People Power Revolution at EDSA.

The new version, which was conceived from the strengthened corporate partnership between GMA Network and SM Cinemas, advances the narration of Philippine history from the standard versions released before.

This project was done in close coordination with the National Historical Commission of the Philippines, who recognized the Network’s efforts to instill nationalism and patriotism among the Filipino people.

The roster of Kapuso stars who played Philippine historical icons include (in alphabetical order): Aljur Abrenica, Marvin Agustin, Victor Aliwalas, Alvin Aragon, Bea Binene, Iza Calzado, Bodie Cruz, Dingdong Dantes, Gabby and Geoff Eigenmann, Mark Anthony Fernandez, Carlo Gonzalez, Carl Guevarra, Richard Gutierrez, Dion Ignacio, Paolo Paraiso, Enzo Pineda, Rhian Ramos, Marian Rivera, Arthur Solinap, Mike Tan, JC Tiuseco, Dennis Trillo, and TJ Trinidad.

Also included in the video are Ogie Alcasid, Heart Evangelista, Eddie Garcia, Jaya, Zoren Legaspi, German “Kuya Germs" Moreno, Regine Velasquez, Carmina Villaroel, Jillian Ward, and more; plus News and Public Affairs' pillars composed of Arnold Clavio, Mike Enriquez, Vicky Morales, Howie Severino, Jessica Soho, and Mel Tiangco.

Shot wholly in high-definition (HD) digital video technology, the national anthem is slated to roll on the big screens of SM across the country. It will also be a part of GMA’s sign-on and sign-off messages marking the beginning and end of each day’s broadcast.
