The song "フィリピン独立の歌", which translates to "Grand March of the Free Philippines", was played in several programs with Yamada himself conducting. It is NOT an anthem of the Second Philippine Republic, official or unofficial but is simply a march dedicated by a Japanese composer on the Philippines.
Our fellow historical music channel Im Walde had discovered and shared with me *archived newspaper and magazine articles regarding this song. According to a 1943 issue of The Tribune, it was composed around 1943 by Japanese classical composer Kōsaku Yamada in celebration of the coming Philippine Independence under the Second Republic. Yamada also composed an opera titled Sampaguita, but it got lost during the war.
Special thanks to Im Walde for the romanized transliteration and English translation, as well as for providing info about this song which seems to have no available info (or at least, no English or Filipino sources on the Internet).
*I have posted the pictures of the aforementioned articles in my Instagram account, for anyone interested. Im Walde originally sent them on my discord server.
