Pearl of the Orient is she -
mountains lush and beaches pristine,
the flowering banaba tree,
and loveliness that gleams in green.
Let your eyes on her beauty feast.
Pearl of the Orient is she -
bound by an ocean to the east;
to the west the South China Sea.
Oh, let me be there so carefree,
barefoot on sands of Baracay.
Pearl of the Orient is she.
In her waters I wish to play.
Gems are her friendly people too.
Their many islands call to me
and Philippine Sea’s azure blue.
Pearl of the Orient is she.
