Pearl Of The Orient
Philippine is the shining Pearl of the Orient Sea,
Famous for its boundless natural wealth and beauty;
Land where many noble heroes bravely fought for us to be free,
I'm proud to embrace my beloved homeland’s great history.
When Spaniards came first to our beloved archipelago,
Enamored by great sources of spices and goods in richness’ flow,
Spanish Jesuits priest named it, “Perla Del Mar De Oriente,”
For its lands’ treasures and sea pearls, wasn’t it dolce?
Its beautiful name keeps echoing from east to west,
Along with other, “the region of the rising sun caressed”
Written and portrayed in one of the poems of Dr. Jose Rizal,
Our national hero whose achievements and patriotism were colossal.
Philippine is the sweetest land of the morning,
Its biodiversity's generous provision is fervor burning;
With its most hospitable, very friendly and hardworking people,
All visitors are welcome to sojourn in our land as home for all.
Come and visit many tourist’s wonders and amazing sceneries,
In Island of Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, both provinces and cities;
It's more fun in the Philippines, so you all come,
We offer best places for holidays- so relaxing, fabulous and awesome!
