Patriotic Oath (Philippines)

The Patriotic Oath (Filipino: Panatang Makabayan) is one of two national pledges of the Philippines, the other being the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag (Filipino: Panunumpa ng Katapatan sa Watawat). It is commonly recited in schools during morning flag ceremony after the Lupang Hinirang is sung but before recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.

Recitation of the Panatà is required by law at all public and private educational institutions meant for Filipinos or containing a majority of Filipino nationals. This guideline was set in Republic Act No. 1265, one of many national symbols laws, which was approved on 11 July 1955. The act was implemented in schools through Department Order No. 8 of what is now the Department of Education, which was approved on 21 July 1955. The Panatà was revised in November 2001 by the former Secretary of Education Raul Roco, using shorter lines in less formal Tagalog.

Although Department Order No. 8 states that the Panatà may be recited in English or any Philippine language, the Panatà is usually recited today in Filipino, of which two versions exist: the current text is a shorter, poetic (poetic meaning it's created under Roco's image or ideals, not the ideal of all) rendering of the English original, while the older version is a more direct translation.

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 tungkulin
ng mamamayang makabayan:
naglilingkod, nag-aaral at nagdarasal
nang buong katapatan.
Iaalay ko ang aking buhay,
pangarap, pagsisikap
sa bansang Pilipinas.
