A tear fell from my eyes as I watched this clip. Even in the midst of hardship and adversity, we Filipinos always manage to prevail. It is so great that this clip was able to capture that spirit.

I have forgotten about being Filipino. Since I left the country nothing but hard ache, heart ache that cause me too much pain. Even now still stoned by being American Filipina. Which, I don’t understand. As much as I used to love Philippines, and dami nang manga naghirapan sa pamilya ko. Puro no lang gossip and nothing but to feel as though a person need to be better than anyone else. I can’t even stand being a FILIPINO!!!!

So, please don’t tell me how people suffered. here in America Pinoy are still always thinking they are above everyone else who aren’t like them. TOO MUCH DRAMA..TO MUCH of everything..the only thing I am thankful for was for the courage and Respect I have for my mother an what the Philippines had given me at a young age to be a survivor. Sad really, each time a group of Filipino’s sees me already I’m an outsider, because I don’t look the part and when I speak tagalog and still set aside from the rest of the group. AND THIS IS THE REALITY,,so don’t sell me about adversity and hardship..those were then those were the people who sacrificed their lives a hundred years ago, now it’s just a bunch of pile horse manure.

Hi Ann, I’m sorry to read about you experiences. I can only say that not all Filipinos are as you describe.
June 11th, 2008 at 8:10 am
umm hi ann, umm i’m jst thinking after i read ur opinion… i think although the people who sacrified their lives a hundred years ago… i think you should still remeber what they have do for our country… I agreed to maricar not all FILIPINOS are as you describe…. their different to you and to others…. xorie to read ur opinion….

ang yabang mo naman ann, just look at yourself pinoy na pinoy pa rin ang dating, mayabang at pintasera sa kapwa. Tulad ng sabi nila hindi lahat ng pinoy ganun kaso nga you just proved na you belong to them. 100% pinoy ka p rin!!!! Mag-english ka man ng slang still ugali mo ay isang pinoy na mayabang!!! Tama si Prei. You still belong to the asian pagdating sa race gano ka man katagal dyan sa Tate!!! Kahit na tumanda ka pa sa home for the aged dyan! Naiinis ka for being Filipino eh bakit ka nagpupunta sa website na ito? Isa kang classic na pinoy!

Ang galing! Ipinagmamayabang ko ang aking pagiging Pilipino. Puede ko bang i-download yun? Paano? gusto ko siyang gamitin during our programs sana. help please.

Ang ganda ng pagkakanta ng ating pambansang awit! Kaya ako nagka-interes na malaman ang tamang lyrics ng Lupang Hinirang ay dahil sa assignment ng apo namin nasa grade 1.Parehong nagtratrabaho mga magulang niya kaya inako namin turuan siya. Ala naman lyrics sa kanyang notebook kaya ng kinakanta namin nalimutan ko na ibang linya. Ng sinulat ko naman nagkabaligtad ibang linya kaya nag-research na lang ako sa internet at tamang tama etong site ng Filipinasoul. Maraming Salamat at Mabuhay kayo!

Ann, if you’ve forgotten being a Filipino the least you can do is to stop insulting Filipinos. You’ve no more right to comment about the character flaws of Filipinos. I pity you because if you’re already at the twilight of your years you will long to go back to the land of your birth. Furthermore, since you’re already a naturalized American citizen try to write grammatically correct English.

July 9th, 2008 at 2:00 am
bat ganun yung video sa 0:15 may pinakitang mga batang nagra rugby? wala nman yun kaunayan sa tunay na kahulugan ng pambansang awit natin..
July 9th, 2008 at 2:04 am
why is that on 0:15 the video show some kids being addicted to rugby? ftw it is not even related to the meaning or our national anthem..
do they mean that children from the Phils are that kind since from the beginning?
July 10th, 2008 at 6:47 pm
For those who are not proud to be Filipinos, particularly Ann, I feel very sorry for them. Anywhere they will go, no matter how much they will change their noses or colors or accents, they still have that lineage. If you think Fiipinos are horse shit, you may well be a bullshit.
September 7th, 2008 at 11:40 pm
wooowwwwww!
im proud that lupang hinirang is my soul anthem.
i am proud PINOY ako.
please do the spanish (original) version too.
thanks and more power

Am PROUD to be PINOY……were so lucky to have our superheroes sacrifice their lives..MABUHAY!!! But now many of our leaders nakalimutan na ata ang simbolo ng sandata at watawat ng Pilipinas na siyang sumasagisag ng pagiging Pilipino..marami sa kanila ngayon ang siyang sumasakop sa kaayusan at katiwasayan ng pamumuhay ng bawat Pilipino dahil sa pagtingala nila sa KABAN ng bayan para sa pansariling interest..sana hindi darating ang panahon na pati ibon ay wala ng uuwian….
