What is the importants of the Philippine national anthem?
First and foremost the Philippine National Anthem is protected by law, therefore, cannot be reworded or rearranged. It is a symbol of the country's traditions, ideals, history and culture. Martin Nievera's personal rendition of Lupang Hinirang in the Pacquio-Hatton fight is an example of the little importance given to the integrity of one of the nation's symbols. Why change it when it wasn't broken to begin with? People claim it is outdated. Ignorance fuels that claim. The National Anthem, mandated by the people, is in itself defined never to be outdated. No one man can choose to change our National Anthem. It will have to be the choice of a nation, not one mere balladeer who's nationalism is ascued.
