The Filipino tongue—at Life’s command—
sends drumbeats rolling where ancestors wake….
One nation standing from a woven strand
ascends with one full voice at Hanan’s break—
great people forged in one majestic land
where great Rizal his very soul did stake!
At schools where vital concepts boldly fuse,
this language rises from long-buried seeds
sown by defiant voices that refuse
to mute the cries for justice Juan still heeds!
Pakikipagkapwa in grounded shoes
walks down paths where each faithful steward leads….
In socials where mixed voices charge the air,
minds honor this tongue on its pedestal….
Merged cultures hold maka-Diyos purpose: dare
to build heart bridges past the typical!
Pag-uunawaan rings out with flair,
reclaiming power from Hate’s cruel haul!
With policies that shield each native voice,
this national tongue stays alight, alive….
Inspired by M. L. Quezon’s noble choice,
pagsasandiwaan helps kinship thrive….
Inclusive laws add power, purpose, poise
to brown identity shaped by fierce drive!
On screens that blaze, with sounds that captivate,
great tales in this tongue stir the Indio’s soul!
Through motion pictures, araw-gilded Fate
ignites one precious makatao goal—
pakikiisa—strength to elevate
sweet LuzViMinda’s every sacred role!
In forums where resplendent insights stream
through threads in this tongue bound by royal ties,
makakalikasan wings skyward gleam….
True empathy replies to Nature’s cries….
Lo! Kabukasang-loob forms one team
where Earth-embracing vision never dies!
Through digital streams—stories, vlogs, and reels—
this language echoes old and new heartbeats….
Both Juan and Juana feast on humble meals
provided through shared makabansa feats….
Pakikipagdamayan rolls on wheels
through worst disasters’ countless hashtag tweets….
No empire’s tongue e’er silences gongs rung
nor quenches fire-born dreams of native breath,
for every phrase—brave warrior’s armor hung—
awakens Bonifacio from grim Death!
Oh! Nothing breaks the Filipino tongue—
all-dazzling mirror crowned with timeless wreath!
