Relevance of Revised "Panatang Makabayan" this 2023

According to the Department of Education, to commemorate Filipino Values Month and to inculcate values of patriotism and good citizenship in all Filipinos, the revised Panatang Makabayan shall henceforth be used in all public and private elementary and secondary schools. The Revised Panatang Makabayan should be implemented to be recited to and by Central Office Officials and Employees, Regional Directors, Schools Division Superintendents,  Public Elementary and Secondary Schools and  Private Elementary and Secondary Schools.

We should always think of the relevance of this Pledge of Loyalty to our Country to remind the students to prioritize working and serving the country before leaving abroad. Or those who are already abroad, can always come back and share their knowledge gained abroad with our countrymen.

It reads :

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.

The Panatang Makabayan shall be recited by schoolchildren and the youth everyday at the beginning of the first subject of the day.

Department of Education central and regional offices shall likewise recite the revised Panatang Makabayan during flag ceremonies every Monday.

The compliance of all is enjoined.
