or institution you belong to. Share it with your friends, neighbors and
colleagues.
Ang Panatang Makabayan
Iniibig ko ang Pilipinas.
Ito ang aking lupang sinilangan;
Ito ang tahanan ng aking lahi;
Ako’y kanyang kinukupkop at tinutulungan;
Upang maging malakas, maligaya at kapakipakinabang.
Bilang ganti, diringgin ko ang payo ng aking mga magulang;
Susundin ko ang mga tuntunin ng aking paaralan;
Tutuparin ko ang mga tungkulin ng isang mamamayang makabayan
at masunurin sa batas;
Paglilingkuran ko ang aking bayan nang walang pag-iimbot
at ng buong katapatan
Sisikapin kong maging tunay na Pilipino sa isip, sa salita at sa
gawa.
