| Himno Nacional Filipino (Filipinas) - Spanish Tierra adorada, hija del sol de oriente, su fuego ardiente en ti latiendo esta. Tierra de amores, del heroismo cuna, los invasores no te hollaran jamas. En tu azul cielo, en tus auras, en tus montes y en tu mar esplende y late el poema de tu amada libertad. Tu pabellon que en las lides la victoria ilumino, no vera nunca apagados sus estrellas ni su sol. Tierra de dichas, de sol y de amores en tu regazo dulce es vivir; es una gloria para tus hijos, cuando te ofenden, por ti morir. |
| Philippine National Anthem - English Land of the Morning, Child of the sun returning, With fervor burning, Thee do our souls adore. Land dear and holy, Cradle of noble heroes, Ne'er shall envaders Trample they sacred shore. Ever within the skies and through thy clouds And o'er thy hills and sea Do we behold the radiance, feel the throb, Of glorious liberty. Thy banner, dear to all our hearts, It's sun and stars alight, O, never shall its shining field Be dimmed by tyrant's might! Beautiful land of love, O land of light, In thine embrace 'tis rapture to lie, But it is glory ever, when thou art wronged, For us, thy sons, to suffer and die |
| Lupang Hinirang Bayang magiliw, Perlas ng Silanganan. Alab ng puso Sa dibdib mo'y buhay. Lupang hinirang, Duyan ka ng magiting, Sa manlulupig 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 magnininging; 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. |

| Even though we can look into a mirror and see our face and our being Filipino, the lines of who we are do not end with one familiar image. We may know about ourselves and where we come from, but it doesn't hurt to be reminded about a little information that links us with the past, present and future.. |
