MB Farookh Poet Couplet

Pearl Of The Orient

Land of the seas and glorious sunshine
Sparkling Pearl of the Orient Sealine

Strategically and truly well-placed 
This great country's sun-kissed islands are laced

Lined up with palm fronds and coconut trees
salubrious climate that drives cool breeze

Pearls of Heaven lay scattered in the sea
Are the beautiful islands that we see

Historic past meets glorious future
Modern Philippines is poised to feature

Advancement in science, technology
Coupled with the country's topology

The common man is honest and simple
Hard work and forbearance is the symbol

Tributes to the great hero Jose Rizal
Somehow nation's progress is a puzzle

There are some problems that are hard to solve
But Philipino spirit can resolve

Economic revival it may face
With certain ingenuity and grace
