The Pledge of Allegiance to the Filipino Flag is the national and official pledge of the Philippines. It is among one of the only national pledges in the world. The Filipino Flag Allegiance is usually recited at flag ceremonies rather quickly after the Patriotic Oath of the Philippines.
The Philippine Allegiance was legalized below Executive Purchase No.343 and by the Heraldic Code of the Philippines. The law states that there is not an exact language that it must be spoken in, however, it is usually spoken in Tagalog.
In order to recite the national Filipino Flag Pledge of Allegiance, hold your right hand next to your right shoulder just like you are saying an oath. If your looking to learn the Allegiance to the Filipino Flag, I have included the words to the statement below in English and Tagalog.
There are some individuals whose religious beliefs and values which exclude them from speaking the Filipino Flag Allegiance, but, these people still must show respect to it.
The official Filipino Flag version in Tagalog follows:
- 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-tao
- Makakalikasan at
- Makabansa.
- I am a Filipino
- I pledge my allegiance
- To the flag of the Philippines
- And to the country it represents
- With honor, justice and freedom
- Put in motion by one Nation
- For God
- for the People,
- for Nature and
- for the Country.
This oath is commonly recited at flag ceremonies and following the singing of the Philippines national anthem.
Recitation of the Patriotic Filipino Flag Oath is required by law at all schools in the Philippines and schools where the population is made up of Filipinos. The Patriotic Oath is usually recited in Tagalog.
The Tagalog version of the Filipino Flag Patriotic Oath follows:
- Iniibig ko ang Pilipinas,
- aking lupang sinilangan,
- tahanan ng aking lahi;
- kinukupkop ako at tinutulungang
- maging malakas, masipag, at marangal.
- Dahil mahal ko ang Pilipinas,
- diringgin ko ang payo ng aking magulang,
- susundin ko ang tuntunin ng paaralan,
- tutuparin ko ang tungkulin ng mamamayang makabayan;
- naglilingkod, nag-aaral, at nagdarasal
- nang buong katapatan.
- Iaalay ko ang aking buhay, pangarap, pagsisikap
- sa bansang Pilipinas
- I love the Philippines,
- the land of my birth,
- The home of my people,
- it protects me and helps me
- To become strong, hardworking and honorable.
- Because I love the Philippines,
- I will heed the counsel of my parents,
- I will obey the rules of my school,
- I will perform the duties of a patriotic citizen,
- Serving, studying, and praying faithfully.
- I will offer my life, dreams, successes
- To the Philippine nation.
