Ni: Tristan Jhae C. De Vera Maraming naganap sa bilyong paglagi  Daigdig na ating tinirhang kay sawi  Hayun! Nagngingitngit, tangis ng paglumbay,  Kailan kaya ‘to magkakarong saysay Dito lang sa bansa, ramdam na ang sigwa  Kasakimang dulot ng taong pabaya  Resulta’y gumimbal sa bayang nakaranas  Ngayo’y nagsisisi, gawang walang lunas Dulot ng kemikal, sirang kalikasan  Bunga’y nagpahirap sa taong nanahan  ‘Di ko ninanais, itong ‘yong sinapit  Bakit yaong tao, sa iyo’y malupit? Ngayo’y panahon nang itama ang mali  Ngunit ‘di kay dali, iwaksi ‘tong sanhi O rosaryong puspos, dalhin aming sambit  Kami ay tulungan, lansagin ‘tong pait Sa bawat problema, may solusyon man din  Ngunit kay hirap man, kailangang sundin  Pangngalang salita, ito’y disiplina,  Kapwa Pilipino, ating gawin, sana

Ni: Tristan Jhae C. De  Vera Perlas ng Silangan, kung siya’y turingan  Duyan ng magigiting na mamamayan  Hindi sumusuko sa anumang laban  Mabuhay! Ang sigaw pahanggan man Si Legazping nanguna, winakasan ni de los Rios  Dala’y Katolisismo, siyang sandigan sa unos  Daan taong pananakop ng mga mestizo,  Dulot lamang nito’y kahirapan sa mga Indio Hindi naglao’y, rebolusyo’y nagsimula  Sa pangunguna ng mga mamamayang makabayan  Inihayag noong Hunyo 12, araw ng ating paglaya  Lahing malaya, Pilipino ang ngalan Lupang Hinirang, puspos sa biyayang yaman  Daluyan ng progreso, sa rehiyong kinabibilangan  Apihin man ng mga dayuhan,  Bughaw nasa rurok, ‘di patitinag kanino man Kanyang haligi, matatag na demokrasya  ‘Di matitibag sa isang kisap mata  Isang Bansa, Isang Diwang kaisipan  Republika ng Pilipinas, bansang ngalan!

By: Tristan Jhae C. De Vera At this moment, our country is facing many issues such as corruption and environmental pollution. But do you know where these issues rooted?   It’s simple, lack of discipline. We can change all of these by having that sense. Since childhood, we have a responsibility for our country, but because of the liberal ideology, we’ve forgotten the authoritarian one, discipline. That authoritarian ideology has lost its course since we regain our freedom. Look around at this room and tell me whether I’m right or wrong. Throwing trashes in the trash bin, fixing your things, and respecting someone talking in front of you, are we doing it properly? Go out, vehicles counter-flowing, people jaywalking, and traffic congestion, all of these acts lack discipline. We will not experience any progress if we do not make an action. Batanes, Davao, Singapore, Japan, their people have discipline because they love their city, and country and they want their lives ...
