I'am very tired today, but I'am obliged to keep my word to write about Philippines. So, I will post a video on Lupang Hinirang, which is the National Anthem of Philippines.
The video was produced by PAGASA, and directed by Mae Paner with cinematography by Boy Yniguez and sung by the Loboc Choir.
The english translation of the anthem, courtesy of Answers Corporation goes as follows :
Land of the morning Land dear and holy, Ever within thy skies and through thy clouds Thy banner dear to all hearts Beautiful land of love, oh land of light,
Child of the sun returning
With fervor burning
Thee do our souls adore.
Cradle of noble heroes,
Ne'er shall invaders
Trample thy sacred shores.
And o'er thy hills and seas;
Do we behold thy radiance, feel the throb
Of glorious liberty.
Its sun and stars alright,
Oh, never shall its shining fields
Be dimmed by tyrants might.
In thine embrace 'tis rapture to lie;
But it is glory ever when thou art wronged
For us thy sons to suffer and die.
