THE PHILIPPINE PATRIOTIC PLEDGE


The Patriotic Pledge or Panatang Makabayan is one of two national pledges. This pledge is to the Philippines. Recitation at schools where the majority of students are Filipinos is required by law. There currently exists two Filipino versions of Panatang Makabayan. The original is a direct translation of the English version whereas the current version is a more poetic translation. The Panatang Makabayan is commonly recited at school flag ceremonies after the singing of the national anthem and is then followed by the pledge of allegiance to the Philippine Flag.

English Version

I love the Philippines.
It is the land of my birth.
It is the home of my people.
It protects me and helps me to be strong, happy and useful.
In return, I will heed the counsel of my parents.
I will obey the rules of my school.
I will perform the duties of a patriotic, law-abiding citizen.
I will serve my country unselfishly and faithfully.
I will be a true Filipino in thought, in word, in deed.

Current Filipino Version

Iniibig ko ang Pilipinas, aking Lupang Sinilangan.
Tahanan ng aking lahi, kinukupkop ako at tinutulungan
upang maging malakas, masipag, at marangal.
Dahil mahal ko ang Pilipinas,
diringgin ko ang payo ng aking mga magulang.
Susundin ko ang tuntunin ng paaralan,
tutuparin ko ang tungkulin ng mamamayang makabayan,
naglilingkod, nag-aaral, at nagdarasal ng buong katapatan.
Iaalay ko ang aking buhay, pangarap at pagsisikap
sa bansang Pilipinas.

Original Filipino Version

Iniibig ko ang Pilipinas.
Ito ang aking lupang sinilangan.
Ito ang tahanan ng aking lahi.
Ako'y kanyang kinukupkuop 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 nang buong katapatan.
Sisikapin kong maging isang tunay na Pilipino
Sa isip, sa salita, at sa gawa.
