How well do you know the Philippine National Anthem?

Do you know the full lyrics? Can you sing it without help? Most of us growing up in the Philippines know this by heart. After all since kindergarten, we sing it almost every morning, if not every Monday morning before classes begin. But if you’ve been out of school for a while, well… you may begin to forget.

I can emphatize with this famous singer-actor, but I would not want to be in shoes! He sang the Lupang Hinirang in a boxing tournament recently, and sang it with emotion… From beginning, to the end, and even after.

O, ano, kaya nyo ba yun? :-)
