PANATA SA BAGONG PILIPINAS
Bilang Pilipino, buong pagmamalaki kong
isasabuhay ang Bagong Pilipinas.
Buhay sa aking dugo ang lahing dakila,
magiting at may dangal
Palaging dadalhin sa puso, isip at diwa ang
aking pagmamahal sa kultura at bayang sinilangan;
Kaisa ng bawat mamamayan, iaalay ko ang aking talino
at kasanayan sa pagpapaunlad ng aking Bayan;
Taglay ang galing na naaayon sa mga
pandaigdigang pamantayan;
Magiging instrumento ako sa pagsulong ng kagalingan,
karunungan at kapayapaan.
Makikiisa at makikilahok ako sa mga adhikain
ng pamahalaan dahil ang kaunlaran ay
hindi lamang responsibilidad ng iilan.
Isusulong at pangangalagaan ko ang karangalan,
kalayaan at interes ng aking bayang minamahal;
Bilang Pilipino na may pagmamahal, pakialam at malasakit;
hindi makasarili kundi para sa mas nakararami;
tatahakin ko ang landas tungo sa isang
Bagong Pilipinas!
The pledge also emphasizes the importance of unity among citizens. It encourages us to offer our intellect and skills for the betterment of our nation. It is a call to action for every Filipino to strive for excellence that meets global standards and to be an instrument of progress, wisdom, and peace.
The Bagong Pilipinas Pledge is not just about individual growth but also about collective progress. It urges us to participate in the government’s initiatives because the responsibility of development lies not just with a few but with every citizen.
The pledge is a commitment to uphold and protect the honor, freedom, and interests of our beloved country. It is a promise to be selfless, to think of the majority, and to walk the path towards a New Philippines.
In essence, the Bagong Pilipinas Pledge is a reflection of our national identity. It encapsulates our love for our country, our commitment to its progress, and our unity as a people. It is a pledge that every Filipino makes, a pledge that guides us towards the vision of a New Philippines.
Let us all embrace this pledge and work together towards a brighter future for our beloved Philippines.
