another great episode btw...
Right on the dot Obi... when I was listening to this podcast while in traffic, I was trying to recall the lyrics for the English version of Lupang Hinirang.. and all I could remember was \\\"Land of the morning... child of the sun returning\\\" and that was it. But I do agree that the Philippine National Anthem has a catchy and marchable tune... good for parades. Cool ep guys ! Kudos !
My Ears!
How about The Sini-Gang book of the month.
Great show guys.... & guy!!!
There was a english version of the \"Lupang Hinirang\". Its called \"Philippine Hymn\". This was used during the American colonization in the 1920\'s. It was translated from Spanish to english by Senator Camilio Osias and an american, Mary A. Lane. This was legalized to be used by an act in the Philippine Congress of 1938. While I was going to school in the Philippines, we learned how to sing it in english and it was actually pretty decent sounding. You can go this site and read the lyrics in english and tagalog:

As a school kid in the Philippines, there is a flag ceremony every morning at 7am before school starts. This was mandatory and no one is exempted.
Great show guys and guy. Your momma is so dumb, she doesn\'t know what podcasting is. LOL.
