Hello friends,
Good day to all, Hope all are doing very well, happy and healthy.
We have another theme for this week, Orgullo Patrio or National Pride or Homeland pride chosen by our spotlight artist 
This is a very good theme so every one of us can feature our own culture and heritage by singing our own country's national songs.
Here is my entry entitled, Ako ay Pilipino meaning I am A Filipino!
I am proud of my heritage, culture, my background and of course my country. So many have died, heroes, martyrs, unsung heroes just so we can have freedom in our own land which is The Philippines, The Pearl of the Orient seas.
Here is the lyrics of the song with English translation per stanza
I am a Filipino
Ako ay Pilipino
The blood is royal
Ang dugo'y maharlika
Natural in my heart
Likas sa aking puso
Aspire to be beautiful
Adhikaing kay ganda
In the Philippines, my country
Sa Pilipinas na aking bayan
Fair Pearl of the East
Lantay na Perlas ng Silanganan
It seems that God's wealth has been gathered
Wari'y natipon ang kayamanan ng Maykapal
Give to your brain
Bigay sa 'king talino
Only for the good
Sa mabuti lang laan
To me it's native
Sa aki'y katutubo
To be loving
Ang maging mapagmahal
I am a Filipino
Ako ay Pilipino
I am a Filipino
Ako ay Pilipino
One nation, one spirit
Isang bansa, isang diwa
What I dream of
Ang minimithi ko
In my country and flag
Sa bayan ko't bandila
My life and soul
Laan buhay ko't diwa
I am a Filipino
Ako ay Pilipino
True Filipino
Pilipinong totoo
I am a Filipino
Ako ay Pilipino
I am a Filipino
Ako ay Pilipino
High forehead to anyone
Taas noo kahit kanino
Filipino is me
Ang Pilipino ay ako

I so love this song because it states how proud I am to be a Filipino, wherever I may be I will always say that I am a Filipino.
Regardless of where we were born and on which country we are now we must never be ashamed to tell others who we are, our roots, our culture, our history, our heritage, our bloodline, our own country!
God bless all the nations of the world. May there be peace everywhere and may only love permeates in all the hearts of men.
Hope you love the song.
Thanks for dropping and see you next week on the next round.
