Iniibig ko ang Pilipinas
Aking lupang sinilangan
Tahanan ng aking lahi,
Kinukupkop ako
At tinutulungan maging malakas,
masipag at marangal.
Dahil mahal ko ang Pilipinas,
Diringgin ko ang payo
ng aking mga magulang,
susundin ko ang tuntunin ng paaralan,
tutuparin ko ang tungkulin
ng mamamayang makabayan:
naglilingkod, nag-aaral at nagdarasal
nang buong katapatan.
Iaalay ko ang aking buhay,
Pangarap, pagsisikap
Sa bansang Pilipinas.
ever since they changed the Panatang Makabayan, we haven't had the time to memorize the new one... maybe because the old one was already ingrained to our brains (and it was fun reciting it every waking day of our school life). that or we're just already out of high school when they implemented the new one. makapagmemorize na nga ulit. :P
ReplyDeleteYour post reminds me of my elementary days wherein in every flag ceremonies sa school, I always recite the Panatang Makabayan from the rostrum. Now I can't even complete the old version of it.
ReplyDeleteBut I am proud that I still knew the complete lines of our "Lupang Hinirang".
Let us be proud of our race, Mabuhay ang Lahing Kayumanggi.
Happy weekend.
