Bayang Magiliw, Pertila Na Didiw… (Ano Raw?)

Every Saturday (the beginning of each week here), school administrators “encourage” their students to come in early than their first subject which is at 8:00 am. The reason is so they could participate on the flag raising ceremony which is only done once a week.

Everybody takes part, including pupils from pre-school. I noticed though that they don’t teach the National Anthem to pre-schoolers. What they do is put them along side the higher grades and the children mimicked what ever they hear or thought they heard from the older kids.

Here’s my daughter’s (currently in kindergarten) version of the “Lupang Hinirang”:



How patriotic can you get than this!

    Naku, challenge po 'yan sa inyo Kuya Blogusvox. I'm sure sinimulan niyo nang mag-asawang turuan si Bea ng Lupang Hinirang.

    [Sorry po, pero hindi ko talaga mapigilang tumawa. Hahahahahah! Pacensya na po.]

  5. Dito sa Abu Dhabi, tuwing flag ceremony kinakanta rin yung national anthem ng UAE. Dyan din ba?

  6. Is she "singing in tongues?" Haha.

    Several years ago, my 2-year old cousin had an emphatic rendition of "Lupang Hinirang" and he goes:

    "Bayang giliwwww, matay dahil iyowwww!"

    Obviously, the shortest version of our national anthem. Whew!

  18. RJ, we tried, but she insist that's how they sing it at school.

    donG, I don't think so. Most of it are garble to me too.

    theo, I think they don't teach it to pre-schooler because there are foreign students in their class.

    prinsesamusang, thank you for visiting my blog.

    Ms.Jo, no, they don't teach or sing the Saudi National Anthem. At least not on her school.

  19. Abaniko, LOL! summarized version naman yun.

    Jerick, thankyou and welcome to my blog.

    Nebz, sa pandinig ko, mukhang bahasa indonesian language eh. : )

    atticus & Sardz, oo, she can carry a note but lyrics are still a hindrance.

  20. Pope, yes, she loves it. She can sing quite a few of Disney's theme songs.

    sheng, hehehe, we also clap our hands, pretending we understood it too.

    ever, ganyan talaga ang bata. Mas marami ang laro kaysa aral. Bea is a fast learner. Kaso pag tapos na sya sa lesson nya, ginugulo ang mga kaklase.

    madbong, that's understandable, pre. Taga NZ na kayo, it's only right that they learn their ways.

    Mimi, maybe I put her on a voice lesson class this coming vacation.

  21. caryn, hehehe, thankyou! gawa na rin kayo para meron din kayong laruan!

    R-yo, most of her arabic words, she learn in school from her classmates. Disney and Pixar naman ang teacher nya sa English.

  23. Very cute ang iyong dear Bulilit, Pards! Magaling kakanta. Mas gusto ko ang version niya kaysa sa version ni Martin Nievera. Hehehe Siya na ang dapat pakantahin ng National Anthem sa susunod na laban ni Pacquiao. Hehehe

    ReplyDelete
  24. ever, I understand. Miss mo rin ang "little princess" mo.

    Panaderos, LOL! oo nga no. Kung si Martin iniba yung melody, pwede din sigurong ibahin ang lyrics! : D

  29. hahahaha! ang cute!

    i think this is really how pre-schoolers sing it. my daughter even if they're being taught the lyrics still can't sing the words right... and she's already in grade 1... parang binabaluktot pa rin ang dila. :)

  30. Ka Rolly, kung sa akin, puro "humming" ang lyrics ng kanta. : )

    7thstranger, mahirap naman talaga bigkasin ang mga kataga. Some are four syllables long.
