The "La Union Hymn [1] " is the official anthem of the province of La Union in the Philippines.
The La Union Hymn was written and composed by Primitivo L. Acosta Jr.
The Sangguniang Panlalawigan of La Union officially adopted the song in 1999 with the passage of Ordinance No. 007-99. Four years later, it enacted revised lyrics with the passage of Ordinance No. 009–2003 on November 27, 2003. [2]
Although currently the La Union Hymn only has official lyrics in English, on September 26, 2012 the Sangguniang Panlalawigan of La Union passed Ordinance No. 026-2012, making Ilocano an official language of the province. The ordinance includes provisions for singing the song in Ilocano – should lyrics in the language be adopted – no less than twice a year. [3] With the ordinance passed, the possibilities of translating the La Union Hymn in the province's other official languages, Pangasinense and Kankanaey, would have been sprouted.
