Background

Under the Bangsamoro Organic Law, the charter of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) which succeeded the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) is entitled to have its own regional anthem.[1]

In February 2019, the Bangsamoro Transition Authority launched a competition for a new hymn for Bangsamoro, along with design competitions for a new flag and seal of the region.[2]

A proposed legislation to adopt an official regional hymn for Bangsamoro filed before the Bangsamoro Parliament is Parliament Bill No. 2 which is also known as "An Act Adopting the Official Hymn of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM)". By August 29, 2019, the measure is already on its second reading. Three versions of the hymn in English, Filipino and Maguindanaon languages has been proposed as per parliament member Romeo Sema, a proponent of the measure. Sema's colleague's has suggested changes to the bill such as adding a designated portion of the hymn sang by a female for gender-inclusiveness and render additional versions of the hymn in every regional language of Bangsamoro.[3]

The Bangsamoro Parliament approved the proposed version of the Bangsamoro Hymn under Cabinet Bill no. 39 on January 30, 2020.[4] The proposed legislation is signed into law on February 13, 2020 by Chief Minister Murad Ebrahim as Bangsamoro Autonomy Act No. 7.[5]

Simula noon hanggang ngayon
Iisa ang naging layon
Magkaisa at magbuklod
Kagitingan ay marubdob


Tumayo tayo mula sa hamon ng nakaraan
Niyapos ang panganib na humahadlang
Pinangako sa puso at paniniwala
Ang ginhawang para sa kabataan


Bangsamoro'y tagumpay
Bunga ng pawis, dugo at buhay
Kapayapaan, Katarungan
Ay atin nang nakamtan


Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah
Pagpalain Bangsamoro


Bangsamoro, Bangsamoro,
Lagi kang mamahalin
Walang pipigil sa damdamin
Mga pangako'y tutuparin


Habang buhay kami sayo'y magbabantay
Mananatili sa puso't isipan
Ang kahapong humimlay na
Nagbuwis ng buhay
Nasa piling na ng maykapal


Bangsamoro'y tagumpay
Bunga ng pawis, dugo at buhay
Kapayapaan, Katarungan
Ay atin nang nakamtan


Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah
Pagpalain Bangsamoro

English translation
From then until now
The goal was one
Unite and unite
Courage is intense
Let us rise from the challenge of the past
Ended the danger of obstruction
Promised in heart and belief
The comfort for the youth
Bangsamoro is a success
Fruits of sweat, blood and life
Peace, Justice
It is ours already
Thank God, thank God
Bless Bangsamoro
Bangsamoro, Bangsamoro
You will always be loved
There is nothing to control the emotions
Promises keep
As long as we live we will watch over you
Remains in your heart and mind
The appetite has subsided
Life taxing
Already with God
Bangsamoro is a success
Fruits of sweat, blood and life
Peace, Justice
It is ours already
Thank God, thank God
Bless Bangsamoro

Usage

The hymn is to be performed during flag-raising ceremonies which involve the Bangsamoro flag.[2] The singing of the Bangsamoro hymn is mandated by law, particularly the Bangsamoro Organic Law, to precede the Philippine national anthem.[7] Bangsamoro Autonomy Act No. 7 also allows for a version of the hymn in Arabic, Filipino or any other indigenous Bangsamoro languages to be officially adopted with approval of the Chief Minister.[5]
