E. Lupang HInirang
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.
Ako ay Pilipino,
Buong katapatang nanunumpa
Sa watawat ng Pilipinas,
At sa bansang kanyang sinasagisag,
Na may dangal, katarungan at kalayaan,
Na pinakikilos ng sambayanang
Maka-Diyos,
Maka-kalikasan,
Maka tao at
Maka bansa.
