HYMN TO LABOR

For the Motherland in war,

For the Motherland in peace,

Will the Filipino keep watch,

He will live until life will cease!

HYMN TO LABOR

MEN:

Now the East is glowing with light,

Go! To the field to till the land,

For the labor of man sustains

Fam’ly, home and Motherland.

Hard the land may turn to be,

Scorching the rays of the sun above. . .

For the country, wife and children

All will be easy to our love.

HYMN TO LABOR

(Chorus)

WIVES:

Go to work with spirits high,

For the wife keeps home faithfully,

Inculcates love in her children

For virtue, knowledge and country.

When the evening brings repose,

Oh returning joy awaits you,

And if fate is adverse, the wife,

Shall know the task to continue.

HYMN TO LABOR

(Chorus)

MAIDENS:

Hail! Hail! Praise to labor,

Of the country wealth and vigor!

For its brow serene’s exalted,

It’s her blood, life and ardor,

If some youth would show his love

Labor his faith will sustain:

Only a man who struggles and works

Will his offspring know to maintain.

HYMN TO LABOR

(Chorus)

CHILDREN:

Teach us ye the laborious work

To pursue your footsteps we wish,

For tomorrow when country calls us

We may be able your task to finish.

And on seeing us the elders will say:

“Look, they’re worthy of their sires of yore!

Incense does not honor the dead

As does a son with glory and valor.

POEM ANALYSIS

Sa Aking Mga Kababata

Kapagka ang baya'y sadyang umiibig Sa kanyang salitang kaloob ng langit, Sanglang kalayaan nasa ring masapit Katulad ng ibong nasa himpapawid.


Pagka't ang salita'y isang kahatulan Sa bayan, sa nayo't mga kaharian, At ang isang tao'y katulad, kabagay Ng alin mang likha noong kalayaan.


Ang hindi magmahal sa kanyang salita Mahigit sa hayop at malansang isda, Kaya ang marapat pagyamaning kusa Na tulad sa inang tunay na nagpala.


Ang wikang Tagalog tulad din sa Latin Sa Ingles, Kastila at salitang anghel, Sapagka't ang Poong maalam tumingin Ang siyang naggawad, nagbigay sa atin.


Ang salita nati'y huwad din sa iba Na may alfabeto at sariling letra, Na kaya nawala'y dinatnan ng sigwa Ang lunday sa lawa noong dakong una.

messages

*IT’S NOT WHAT YOU SAY THAT MATTERS…

IT IS H0W YOU SAY IT

*NO HUMAN CAN PERFECTLY CONTROL THE TONGUE

• YOUR SPEECH IS

ACTUALLY A WINDOW INTO THE INNER

PERSON, REVEALING WHO YOU REALLY ARE

• WORDS BEGIN AS THOUGHTS… IN ORDER TO IMPROVE WHAT YOU SAY… YOU NEED TO

IMPROVE WHAT YOU THINK• WHAT WE SAY AFFECTS OUR REPUTATION

Whoever knows not how to Love his native tongue;

Is worse than any beast or evil smelling fish;

SONG by FLORANTE• Ako’y isang Pinoy , sa puso’t diwa

Pinoy na isinilang sa ating bansa

Ako’y hindi sanay sa wikang banyaga

Ako’y Pinoy na mayroong sariling wika

CHORUS

Wikang pambansa, ang gamit

Kong salita

Bayan kong sinilangan

Hangad ko lagi ang KALAYAAAN

Si Gat Jose Rizal, nu’oy nagwika

Siya ay nagpangaral sa ating bansa

ANG HINDI raw MAGMAHAL

SA SARILING WIKA AY HIGIT PA

SA AMOY NG MALANSANG ISDA
