Joey Ayala Sings The Philippine National Anthem

Though our nation today suffers from the great destruction and devastation brought about by recent terrorism and calamities, we are hopeful that one day we can get back to our feet especially to our fellow countrymen who have truly suffered from these sorrows. From the Zambaonga City crisis in Mindanao, floods in Luzon to the earthquake and the recent super typhoon Yolanda in Visayas, we as a nation hopes that one day the eight-rays sun at daytime and the triple stars at night will shine and smile for our country.

Let's take a little of our time singing our country's song, the anthem of our beloved land. Making rounds in the facebook and as of writing around 700 thousand views on Youtube, Joey Ayala sings for us a nice way (for me) of singing our national anthem as he sang it at the TEDxDiliman. He is a Filipino singer, songwriter and former chairman of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts.

"So gusto kong ituro sa inyo 'yong (So I want to teach you) possibly the correct way", says Joey Ayala in the video.

Here's the video:

May this inspires us to be strong and continue living as a nation, helping and loving each other. 

God bless Philippines! God bless the Filipino people!
