Patriotic song, sana yan ang tumanin sa isipan ng mga kabataan ngayon, lalo na sa mga nakapwesto sa gobyerno natin. Ilove this song🇵🇭❤️

[@dantegierran3110]

Both the singers and the guitarist are sublime

[@rushsoriano4767]

The role models for Filipino Patriotism. Sadly, nawawala na. Nakakaiyak! 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

Cguro Po same age Po tayo?

[@sdp728]

We lost many of the nationalist youth who could have been examples during Martial Law. May their memory live on in the heart of every true patriot

[@elladumaplin6922]

Makapasangit daytoy nga kanta. Having left my Philippines a very,very,long time ago,this song surely hit a spot in my heart! I will forever be a patriotic Filipina albeit not a resident anymore. I make sure,my children and grandchildren preserve the Filipino Culture! So proud to be Filipina! God Bless the Philippines!

[@lewmonteagudo1280]

I missed my beloved Philippines, it’s been over 45 years since i left home. God bless our beloved motherland. UNITE

I have never lost my patriotism,culture and values specially my being Ilocano.These aspects carried on to my children and proved successful with God’s guidance.I am a Devout Catholic,proud Filipina and proud Ilocano. Still fluent in the vernacular.

[@mariroseapolinarski3744]

OMG! This made me cry. I have been away from where I was born for 52 years now. This song, especially the Ilocano part, made me remember my beautiful memories when I was a child with my grandmother in the Ilocos region until I left when my family moved to the US when I was just 12 yrs old and I have not been back since then. This song reminded me that I am a Filipina inside & out and very proud of it......I have almost forgotten. Thank you for sharing this beautiful harana. I am now planning to visit the Philippines and get to know myself again. Thank you for this beautiful song & video.

[@amantemarinas2182]

A very touching patriotic song. It can be classed as a battle hymn!! Filipino-American writing from Virginia, USA

[@beatlegiancarlo28]

It was originally written by General Jose Alejandrino (Spanish lyrics) as a protest song against the American occupation.

[@amantemarinas2182]

Thanks!!@@beatlegiancarlo28

[@carlitoarilla4762]

Isang kantang tunay na nagpapaalab Ng ating Pag-IBIG SA ating Mahal na Pilipinas, really missed these beloved Haranistas.

[@welmarkdecierdo]

Sa kantang ito ay may napakalalim na storya ng history ,dahil noon tayo ay sinakup at maraming nagbuwis ng buhay para lang makamit natin ang independsya ,naway patuloy na maging malaya ang pilioinaa pilipinas .

[@PerceptionandPersuasion]

Wow, the most authentic version I've heard of Bayan ko. Sang by three men who knew the hardship of life. I remembered, was it Mang Romeo who said that he had no one to pass on his music. They never thought that they would one day be able to pass on their legacy for the whole world to watch and listen. Thank you Florante for finding these hidden gems.

[@larrylachica4381]

Sana palaging itinutugtog to sa Phililippine radio both AM and FM para manumbalik ang patriotism ng mga Pilipino , mga kabataan ngayon di na nila alam ang kantang ito...

[@ElmersonDominicFlora]

agree po ako sa inyo bihira nalang din po ako makakilala ng mga katulad kong nakikinig at patuloy na nakikinig sa mga kantang katulad nito ngunit hindi pa po huli ang lahat may mga kabataan pa rin naman pong katulad kong patuloy na tinatangkilik ang ating sariling kultura at bansa

[@melvingarcia9792]

Tama sir

[@emiemarzan8967]

Makes me teary eyed every time this nationalistic song is sung especially with the accompaniment of guitar harana style sir Florante . I watched.with so much gusto your Harana Documentary as I was a haranista myself. In fact I could claim that I was one of the youngest if not the youngest haranista in the Philippines during my Harana Days. I have been joining my cousins in their harana forays as early as 14 years of age and I have learned to sing kundiman songs leaving my high school barkadas in awe whenever requested to sing in between their singing The Beatles songs and other popular Bands during the late sixties. I have wished so much to have been included with those guys you have featured in your docu. Nevertheless I am happy for those guys and of course especially for you in initiating not only to reminisce but more so in reviving this very beautiful and very romantic Filipino culture. Please continue playing kundiman music thru your guitar. I love every piece that you've been airing thru your chanell. More power to you!!! Btw i'm now nearing my 7th decade on this planet and still a die hard kundiman singer and listener.

[@FloranteAguilarGuitar]

Thank you for sharing your harana experience!

[@marcoAngeL0_]

The true Harana Kings of the Philippines. Prayers and Peace to Mr. Filipe & Mr. Celestino. Keep it up Sir Florante and I hope sometimes you'll have a reunion with the "The Last Harana King" - Mr. Romeo Bergunio. ❤ It will be a one of the greatest moments seeing you together sings his songs for the very last time.

[@Fides-E]

Master Haranista Romeo Bergunio is no longer with us. He passed away in 2021.

[@rodenreyes6320]

I'm gonna stir the hornet's nest by saying that phrase "...dayuhan ay humahalina" is VERY wrong.They shouldn't have changed the original, "... dayuhan ay NAHAHALINA".

[@rowenadizon1139]

Grabe nakakapangilabot, Para Kang ibinalik sa unang panahon.

[@allisonopaon49]

tutoo..dko makita ang Punto sa "dayuhan humahalina" ok lang baguhin ang original version wag lang magsuffer ang buod ng mensahe pero sa version na to..sablay..humahalina means nang-aakit but the real truth is ang dayuhan ang naaakit​@@rodenreyes6320

[@eumieriandeanerasan3052]

Should be a challenge for movie makers for Philippine TV for stories or films that depicts patriotism and nationalism in it It would be about a transition that empowers young generation to be...

IIlan na lang talaga ang nagmamahal sa Pilipinas. Sa susunod na eleksyon, piliin ang magbibigay ng plano kung "PAANO" babaguhin ang Pilipinas sa ikabubuti at HINDI iyong mga "NANGANGAKO" na super dalas eh napapako. Tayong mga botante ang makakapagpabago sa takbo ng ating bansa hindi ang mga sinasamba ninyong mga politiko. Ngayon pa nga lang, meron nang nagpapa-pogi points diyan sa mga nakaupo. Palayain natin ang Pilipinas sa hirap, mga kabayan. PAANO? Iboto natin ang may malasakit at may konkretong plano sa bayan mo, bayan ko at bayan ng bawat pilipino. UNTIL NOW, bihag pa rin tayo ng maling pagboto at pagmamahal. Bihag ng pagmamahal sa mga politkong hunghang. Bayan ang mahalin mo, natin at hwag ang politiko!

I am a Filipina,born in the Philippines,but no longer a resident and an observer from afar(America). I try the best I can to be current with the news….there is however an issue that is recurring and sticks out like a sore thumb with me. That is population explosion! Mga Nanay,mga Tatay….napakarami po ang inyong mga anak! Mag isip po kayo kung paano ninyo sila mapalaki at mapag aral nang tama. I know and have seen/heard parents who are unemployed,but have 6-8 kids! What kind of existence is that? Our Philippines will forever be a third world country unless population explosion is curbed! Too many hungry children,so much poverty! Too much migration from provinces to Manila,Tondo,slum districts! Just my own observation,po. Salamat.
