Pambansang awit ng Pilipinas (Tagalog)

Bayang magiliw

Perlas ng Silanganan,
Alab ng puso,
Sa dibdib mo’y buhay.
Lupang Hinirang,
Duyan ka ng magiting,
Sa manlulupig,
Di ka pasisiil.
Sa dagat at bundok,
Sa simoy at sa langit mong bughaw,
May dilag ang tula
At awit sa paglayang minamahal.
Ang kislap ng watawat mo’y
Tagumpay na nagniningning,
Ang bituin at araw niya
Kailan pa ma’y di magdidilim.
Lupa ng araw, ng luwalhati’t pagsinta,
Buhay ay langit sa piling mo;
Aming ligaya, na pag may mang-aapi
Ang mamatay nang dahil sa iyo.

This version was a translation based from the original Spanish version in 1956 with a slight revision in 1960s. It was made offical then. On February 12, 1998, the Republic Act No. 8491 prohibits further translation of the anthem in another Philippine language. Case in point, the local government of Misamis Oriental sung the Philippine national anthem in Bisaya version.

Bisaya is still considered a Filipino language and it should be allowed to sing in the local language and the Republic Act No. 8491 should be repelled.

It's friendship day

Today is a celebration of YOU, to all of my amazing pals, both local and distant! I am grateful that you have brought so much joy, strength, and treasured memories into my life. I cherish every moment we spend together since everyone of you adds something unique to my life.

As we are now in the digtal space, let me give you some tips to manage your friends on your Facebook account:

1. Review Your Friends List: Review your your friends list regulary to ensure that it reflects your current relationships and interests. Consider unfriending or unfollowing people you no longer interact with or whose posts do not align with your preferences. If there's no single conversation, my recommendation is to click that delete button immediately.
2. Use Lists or Groups: Utilize Facebook's features such as friend lists or groups to organize your connections based on different criteria, such as family, friends, colleagues, or interests. This allows you to control who sees your posts and tailor your interactions accordingly.
3. Adjust Privacy Settings: Customize your privacy settings to control who can see your posts, photos, and personal information. You can choose to share content with specific friends, lists, or customize privacy settings for individual posts.
4. Unfollow or Snooze: If you don't want to unfriend someone but are tired of seeing their posts, you can choose to unfollow or snooze them. This allows you to remain friends but stops their posts from appearing in your news feed temporarily or indefinitely.
5. Set Boundaries: Establish boundaries for accepting friend requests and engaging with others on Facebook. You don't have to accept every friend request you receive, and it's okay to ignore or decline requests from people you don't know or feel uncomfortable connecting with.
6. Be Mindful of Tagging and Sharing: Be cautious about tagging friends in posts or sharing content that may be sensitive or private without their consent. Respect others' privacy preferences and ask for permission before tagging them in photos or posts.
7. Engage Meaningfully: Focus on quality over quantity when it comes to interacting with friends on Facebook. Engage in meaningful conversations, comment on posts, and share content that adds value to your relationships and connections.
8. Report or Block if Necessary: If you encounter harassment, bullying, or inappropriate behavior from a Facebook friend, don't hesitate to report or block them. Facebook has tools in place to help you manage unwanted interactions and maintain a safe online environment.

Most of my friends are from the Philippine Entertainment industry, from High School, Workmates from various companies, relatives, and churchmates.

In the days to come, let's continue to treasure our relationship, encourage one another, and create even more incredible memories. Cheers to the strength of friendship and the amazing relationships that enhance our life! 🌟💖 #FriendsForever #Grateful #InternationalFriendshipDay
