Handog ng Pilipino

Today we celebrate the Edsa Revolution People Power 1

I agree with President Fidel V. Ramos, we should celebrate it everyday, we should remember all our great histories everyday..... in an interview earlier with channel 9 he specified 3 days that all children of the Philippines should remember..... 1896, 1942 and 1986

declaration of independence in 1896
defense of bataan in 1942
people power 1 in 1986

these dates showed how great filipinos are and how they fought for freedom so that we in this generation can enjoy the freedom that we now have......

it makes me think, what can i do to preserve this freedom so that the generation after me can also enjoy the same freedom i have...... (my answer in another post)

This is my favorite song from the 1986 revolution
I think it can be interpreted as "Filipino's gift to the world"

Handog ng Pilipino sa Mundo

'Di na 'ko papayag mawala ka muli.
'Di na 'ko papayag na muli mabawi,
Ating kalayaan kay tagal natin mithi.
'Di na papayagang mabawi muli.

Magkakapit-bisig libo-libong tao.
Kay sarap palang maging Pilipino.
Sama-sama iisa ang adhikain.
Kelan man 'di na paalipin.

Ref:
Handog ng Pilipino sa mundo,
Mapayapang paraang pagbabago.
Katotohanan, kalayaan, katarungan
Ay kayang makamit na walang dahas.
Basta't magkaisa tayong lahat.

Masdan ang nagaganap sa aming bayan.
Nagkasama ng mahirap at mayaman.
Kapit-bisig madre, pari, at sundalo.
Naging Langit itong bahagi ng mundo.

Huwag muling payagang umiral ang dilim.
Tinig ng bawat tao'y bigyan ng pansin.
Magkakapatid lahat sa Panginoon.
Ito'y lagi nating tatandaan.
(repeat refrain two times)

Coda:
Mapayapang paraang pagbabago.
Katotohanan, kalayaan, katarungan.
Ay kayang makamit na walang dahas.
Basta't magkaisa tayong lahat!
