Perlas ng Silangan (Pearl of the East) was originally in Spanish, Perla de Oriente (Pearl of the Orient). This was first mentioned by Father Juan J. Delgado, a Jesuit missionary and historian who wrote the book La Historia General Sacro-Profana, Política y Natural de las Islas de Poniente llamadas Filipinas (The General Sacred-Profane, Political and Natural History of the Western Islands called the Philippines), where he referred the city of Manila as Pearl of the Orient.

Perlas ng Silangan was popularized by Dr Jose Rizal in his last poem Mi Ultimo Adios, saying the Philippines is a Perla de Oriente.

His exact words were "región del sol querida, Perla del mar de oriente, nuestro perdido Edén!", which means "treasured region of the sun, Pearl of the sea of the Orient, our lost Eden!" (translation by Lozada). You will find this in the first part of the poem.

Perlas ng Silangan Jusi Barong is part of the TERNO by TCG's new "Alab ng Puso" collection in celebration of the 125th Philippines Independence Day on 12th June 2023.
