I

Filipino language is a medium to be engaged

Thoughts unleashed in national language is an advantage

When you have the privileged in small or even in the bigger stage

Even to the places in the Philippines, you have wandered

 

II

Notable major tourist destinations abound with travel options

Man-made and nature in Philippine archipelago are both attractions

Great mountains in Luzon and outside like Mt. Mayon and Kanlaon

Even less notable destinations are note worthy to mention

 

III

Multicultural diversity in our nations’ ethnicities

Intricacies in handicrafts and with assortment of delicacies

Dialects spoken in minorities with individual idiosyncrasies

Biodiversity too, in Flora and Faunas’ varieties

 

IV

We are indebted to God and our ancestors act of Heroism

Filipino people value altruism, monotheism and nationalism

Festivities, artistry, musicality exhibited with dynamism

Indeed, Filipino language mirrors cultural eclecticism.
