I'm Proud to be a Filipino.pdf - eSkwela Naga City

Let’s Try This
Should anybody make fun
Of the color of your skin
Be proud, don’t be ashamed
Hold your head high, it is God-given
Our heroes never feared
To shed their blood and give their life
For freedom most revered
They’re our pride, let us not forget them.
