BAYAN KO

The greatest duty of a citizen is to love our country, not the officials. The latter are only secondary in the scheme of things. They are bound to be fallible, capricious, proud, arrogant, inaccessible and funny. Yes it is a crime to be funny when there are people dying, being killed, murdered, or are simply hungry and homeless.



So let us all remind ourselves by singing the song,

ANG BAYAN KO'Y TANGING IKAW

PILIPINAS KONG MAHAL

ANG PUSO KO AT BUHAY MAN,

SA IYO'Y IBIBIGAY

TUNGKULIN KONG GAGAMPANAN

NA LAGI KANG PAGLINGKURAN

ANG LAYA MO'Y BABANTAYAN

PILIPINAS KONG HIRANG.
