Lupang Hinirang [ The Philippine National Anthem ]

I AM PROUD TO BE A FILIPINO! Digging deeper into Philippines' true history, remembering the heroes who fought for independence....today, the struggle continues not only for genuine independence but against poverty....but sadly, oligarchs' hold on politics,on economy and on society remains as strong as ever! Then again, a ray of hope shines as our own history would reveal, the spirit of true loving Filipinos, "ang mga tunay na MAKABAYAN," is something that they (those controlling the country) must ponder on! We came from a brave race, willing to give up life for great causes! Martyrdom runs in our blood.... Just like the very first Filipino hero, Lapu-lapu, a Muslim....
