The Mark of a True <strong>Filipino</strong><br />

I was once asked by a foreigner<br />

To descri<strong>be</strong> my <strong>be</strong>loved country<br />

Hark, listen very carefully<br />

To my true and faithful description.<br />

If by chance I have seen<br />

Unfurled and flying, high above the air<br />

The most <strong>be</strong>autiful flag of red, white and blue<br />

Symbol of my country, we give honor.<br />

Once our national anthem is played<br />

And by chance I hear its music drifting in the wind<br />

Place your right hand over your breast<br />

While its lively music is <strong>be</strong>ing played.<br />

Our national costumes, Barong tagalog and “Baro at Saya”<br />

And our national flower, the Sampaguita<br />

Our folk songs, our national tree—Narra<br />

And the Philippine Eagle<br />

All these are our national symbols.
