Ako ay Pilipino is a Filipino patriotic song written by George Canseco in 1981, commissioned by First Lady Imelda Marcos for the inauguration of her husband, 10th President Ferdinand Marcos,[1] and performed by Kuh Ledesma.[2]
On February 8, 2022 Toni Gonzaga performed the song but in a shorter version in singing its final stanza at the end of Uniteam's proclamation rally for Bongbong Marcos (Marcos, Sr. and Imelda's son) and Sara Duterte's campaign for president and vice-president held at the Philippine Arena.[3]
