UP Concert Chorus, ipinarinig kung paano dapat kantahin ang "Lupang Hini...
Kung ang UP Concert Chorus ang tatanungin, ganito raw dapat inaawit ang ating Pambansang Awit.
Naniniwala silang dapat na igalang ang orihinal na komposisyon ni Julian Felipe, pero merong itong iba't ibang bersyon, may mabilis: "Bayang Magiliw, Perlas ng Silanganan, Alab ng Puso sa dibdib mo'y buhay / Lupang Hinirang, duyan ka ng magiting sa manlulupig di ka pasisiil" at merong kasimbilis: "sa dagat at bundok sa simoy at sa langit mong bughaw; may dilag ang tula at awit sa paglayang minamahal. Ang kislap ng watawat mo'y tagumpay na nagniningning, ang bituin at araw niya kailan pa ma'y di magdidilim. Lupa ng araw, ng luwalhati't pagsinta, buhay at langit sa piling mo; aming ligaya na pag may mang-aapi, ang mamatay ng dahil sa'yo."
Ang mahalaga, sundin ang orihinal na himig na ito.
"And then, umaawit kay Pacquiao, si ating kaibigan, and, sana naman nag-consult muna bago para hindi naman sila magsailta uli, merong kasing batas", sabi ni Jai Aracama.
Pirme na lang ang isyu ng "Lupang Hinirang" tuwing may laban si Manny Pacquiao, iba't-ibang sikat na singer na ang umaawit na ito pero halos lahat hindi umano sumunod sa ang orihinal na komposisyon.
"Bayang Magiliw, Perlas ng Silanganan, Alab ng Puso sa dibdib mo'y buhay / Lupang Hinirang, duyan ka ng magiting sa manlulupig di ka pasisiil, sa dagat at bundok sa simoy at sa langit mong bughaw; may dilag ang tula at awit sa paglayang minamahal. Ang kislap ng watawat mo'y tagumpay na nagniningning, ang bituin at araw niya kailan pa ma'y di magdidilim. Lupa ng araw, ng luwalhati't pagsinta, buhay at langit sa piling mo; aming ligaya na pag may mang-aapi, ang mamatay ng dahil sa'yo." Di ba? Martial siya? And I think the way we should, that way good itself already," sabi ni Dr. Ramon Acoymo, Associate Professor Voice and Music Theater/Dance Department.
Isa pang bagay na laging na iniiba ng mga singer ay ang dulo ng "Lupang Hinirang".
Kung titignan natin yung original version ng "Lupang Hinirang" ni Julian Felipe, makikita natin na yung nota doon sa dulo parang ganito na siyang maririnig. Pero ang madalas ginagawa ng mga singers sa boxing match ni Manny Pacquiao na ibang-iba doon sa orihinal na himig na sinulat ni Felipe.
"Ang mga kulot, birit, ornament, dekorasyon, o embellishment should only sang the original intent from the music and the words. Kung ang ginawa mo ay nakakatanggal na focus, so dapat i-focus ang tao, masiyadong marami ngayon, it's too much", sabi ni Acoymo.
May kalayaan daw ang lahat na singers ng bigyan ng ibang interpretasyon ng isang awitin, pero sa kaso ng Pambansang Awit, may sapat na dapat sundin, at malinaw sa Republic Act Number 8491, section 37, na ang tamang pag-awit ng Pambansang Awit ay ang bersyon ni Julian Felipe.
Kaya inaalam namin kung kabisado nga ba ng ating mga kababayan ang "Lupang Hinirang", ang lalaking ito, game nag-sample ng kanyang bersyon ng pambansang awit.
Sa umpisa ng kanta, nakapabilib kami. "Bayang Magiliw, Perlas ng Silanganan Alab ng Puso sa dibdib mo'y buhay"
Pero sa kalangitaan: "Lupang Hinirang duyan ka ng magiting sa manlulupig di ka pasisiil / Sa dagat at bundok sa simoy at sa langit mong bughaw; may dilag ang tula at awit sa paglayang minamahal. Ang kislap ng watawat mo'y tagumpay na nagniningning, ang bituin at araw niya kailan pa ma'y di magdidilim. Lupa ng araw, ng luwalhati't pagsinta, buhay ay langit sa piling mo; aming ligaya na pag may mang-aapi ang mamatay ng dahil sa'yo."
Ang isa nito naman, nag-kasablay-sablay: "Bayang magiliw, Perlas ng Silanganan Alab ng Puso sa dibdib mo'y buhay / Lupang Hinirang, duyan ka ng magiting sa manlulupig di ka pasisiil / Sa dagat at bundok sa simoy at sa langit mong bughaw; may dilag ang tula at awit sa paglayang minamahal. Ang kislap ng watawat mo'y tagumpay na nagniningning, Ang bituin at araw niya kailan pa ma'y di magdidilim. Lupa ng araw, ng luwalhati't pagsinta, Buhay ay langit sa piling mo; Aming ligaya na pag may mang-aapi ang mamatay ng dahil sa'yo."
Pero paliwanag niya, "na lupain na pagiging Pilipino natin at kahit na kalimutan, pero siyempre, iba pa parin kabisado mo 'yung "Lupang Hinirang".
Ang mamang ito seryosong sumagot sa aming mga tanong. Pero alam kaya niya ang pamagat ng ating pambansang awit? "BAYANG MAGILIW po."
Pero, ang aling ito, alam niya ang pamagat ng ating pambansang awit?
JAMIE SANTOS: Pero, ang pambansang awit ng Pilipinas?
Interviewer: "Lupang Hinirang"
JAMIE SANTOS: Kabisado mo ba natin?
Interviewer: Hindi po, eh! Eh, walang practice! Eh, sa mga eskwelahan, minsan, tuwing Lunes, dapat araw-araw.
Pero, alam niyo ba na may karampatang parusa sa lalabag o mag-bibigay galang kapag tinutugtog ang ating pambansang awit?
"Mayroong kahulugang parusa dito, maaring magmulta ng 50 hanggang 100,000 o makulong ng dalawang taon", Atienza said.
Kung may panuntunan sa tamang pagkanta ng Pambansang Awit ng Pilipinas, gayon din sa pag-taas ng ating watawat.

View of the world
Award-winning filmmaker Pepe Diokno and acclaimed writer Jessica Zafra bring you a new view of the world through the travel show “Trippies.” Setting it apart from other travel shows, “Trippies” features only international destinations.
Pepe, who directs the show, reveals that he travels for inspiration. He believes traveling is about more than seeing the sights. It is about meeting people and living like the locals do. “In the process of discovering more about the world, we actually discover more about ourselves,” he remarked.
For Jessica, traveling triggers her ideas to create fiction. Jessica says she likes going to museums to understand the country’s history and culture. In fact in “Trippies,” she often gets up close and personal with the locals in a bid to know the culture of a country.
“Trippies” airs Sundays, 7:30 p.m. on CNN Philippines. It has replays on Tuesdays at 1:30 p.m., Thursdays at 12:30 p.m. and Saturdays at 11 a.m. on CNN Philippines.

Shoppers Bazaar at Aliwan Fiesta
Aliwan Fiesta, produced by Manila Broadcasting Company in tandem with the Cultural Center of the Philippines, showcases regional trade in its three-day Shoppers Bazaar at the CCP Complex from April 20 to 22.
Now on its 14th staging, Aliwan Fiesta’s Shoppers Bazaar is not your traditional “tiangge” or flea market. Shop-a-holics who would normally plan an extensive shopping spree throughout the islands have had to exercise even more restraint in this one-stop-shop.
