Ako ay Pilipino,
Ang dugo'y maharlika
Likas sa aking puso
Adhikaing kayganda
Sa Pilipinas na aking bayan
Lantay na perlas ng silanganan
Wari'y natipon ng kayamanan ng maykapal
Bigay sa aking talino sa mabuti lang laan
Sa aking katutubo ang maging mapagmahal
Ako ay Pilipino, Ako ay Pilipino
Isang bansa, isang diwa ang minimithi ko
Sa bayan ko't bandila
Laan buhay ko't diwa
Ako ay Pilipino
Pilipinong totoo
Ako ay Pilipino, Ako ay Pilipino
Taas noo kahit kanino
Ang Pilipino ay AKO!

what can i say? guilty as charged, and probably a lot more. but what the heck, it's what makes us who we are. and if anybody, i mean anybody, who thinks that they are so good and patient when it comes to driving, have a cruise at the streets of manila. if you manage not to curse while you're at it or afterwards, then you're really good and not to mention, REALLY patient.
LoL

LUPANG HINIRANG
Philippine National Anthem
Bayang magiliw,
Perlas ng Silanganan,
Alab ng puso,
Sa dibdib mo'y buhay.
Lupang HInirang,
Duyan ka ng magiting,
San mamlulupig,
Di ka pasisiil.
Sa dagat at bundok,
Sa simoy at sa langit mong bughaw,
May dilag ang tula
At awit sa paglayang minamahal.
Ang kislap ng watawat mo'y
Tagumpay na nagniningning;
Ang bituin at araw niya,
Kailan pa ma'y di magdidilim.
Lupa ng araw, ng Luwalhati't pagsinta,
Buhay ay langit sa piling mo;
Aming ligaya, na pag may mang-aapi,
Ang mamatay nang dahil sa iyo.
Hehe.
PROUD of it!
