PERLAS NIN SIRANGAN: Narratives of Bicolano Learners on Patriotism

At an early age, children were taught how to sing the Lupang Hinirang. Students regularly sing the Philippine National Anthem during Flag Ceremonies. It is implied that students mastered the song when they reached their intermediate grade levels and high schools. However, during the conduct of the research, it was observed and found out that students do not know how to properly sing the Philippine national anthem, which is truly an alarming situation that should be given importance by the Department of Education and other historical and cultural organizations.

This book will be an eye opener to teachers and to all Filipinos that writing, singing and understanding of Philippine national anthem is quite diminishing. It is a responsibility of every Filipino citizen to continuously strengthen our sense of patriotism by appreciating and understanding our national pride, our Philippine national anthem.
