Yutang Tabonon

Yutang Tabonon (Beloved Land) is a Catholic hymn in the Cebuano language, praying for protection of the Filipino people.

The music is Charles Gounod's Marche Pontificale (1869); which is also the music of the Pontifical Anthem, the official anthem of the Pope and of the Holy See. The lyrics were written by Monsignor Rudy Villanueva.[1] They are not a translation of either the Italian or the Latin lyrics of the Pontifical Anthem.
