sablay na naman...
Balak na namang sampahan ng kaso ng National Historical Institute ang maling pagkanta ni Arnel Pineda ng Lupang Hinirang sa nakaraang laban ni Pacquiao. Alinsunod sa Republic Act 8491 at sabi ng NHI na ang tamang pagtugtog at pagkanta ng pambansang awit ay dapat na isinasagawa ang orihinal nitong lyrics at tempo.
Sino gusto ninyong kumanta sa susunod na laban ni Pacman?
Eto ang mga choices ko:
1. Lea Salonga
2. The Madrigal Singers (para mapuno yung ring at matabunan ang mga mukha ng mga pambansang sabit)
3. The Las Piñas Boys Choir (ewan ko lang kung masampahan pa nila ng kaso ang mga batang ito)

CHAPTER II
THE NATIONAL ANTHEM
Section 35. The National Anthem is entitled Lupang Hinirang.
Section 36. The National Anthem shall always be sung in the national language within or without the country. The following shall be the lyrics of the National Anthem:
Bayang magiliw,
Perlas ng Silanganan
Alab ng puso,
Sa Dibdib mo'y buhay.
Lupang Hinirang,
Duyan ka ng magiting,
Sa manlulupig,
Di ka pasisiil.
Sa dagat at bundok,
Sa simoy at sa langit mong bughaw,
May dilag ang tula,
At awit sa paglayang minamahal.
Ang kislap ng watawat mo'y
Tagumpay na nagniningning,
Ang bituin at araw niya,
Kailan pa ma'y di magdidilim,
Lupa ng araw ng luwalhati't pagsinta,
Buhay ay langit sa piling mo,
Aming ligaya na pag may mang-aapi,
Ang mamatay ng dahil sa iyo.
Section 37. The rendition of the National Anthem, whether played or sung, shall be in accordance with the musical arrangement and composition of Julian Felipe.
