C'est mon hymne national préféré! Vive la République et Vive la liberté!!!
The French National Anthem, La Marseillaise, performed impressively by Placido Domingo, a Spaniard. And with good reason.
With all due respect to my own country's anthem, the French national anthem is by far the most beautiful and the most stirring: inspired and shaped by the mother of all revolutions, The French Revolution, the anthem's message of equality, fraternity and above all, liberty, resonates to every freedom-loving citizen from all corners of the world.

The Lupang Hinirang is La Marseillaise performed backwards daw? How true?
I think it was a TV feature on Carlos Celdran's Intramuros walking tour where I heard this one.
I don't know about that, he was probably making a rhetorical statement to make his tour interesting, but I won't take that statement seriously at face value. The melodic strands are a bit similar, though, but the same can be said for so many other national anthems, especially the old Soviet Union's.
