Complete the sentence about Philippine national anthem with the correct year: The current Filipino lyrics, written in ______ and with a slight revision in the 1960s, were adopted and made official.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. 1956
The Philippine national anthem, Lupang Hinirang, once used Spanish and English words and later Filipino words. The current Filipino lyrics were written in 1956 and slightly revised in the 1960s before being made official. Republic Act No. 8491 in 1998 then codified them into law. The year 1986 is after the 1960s revision, so it cannot be when the lyrics were written.
