What Happened To You Philippines

Philippines is the country where we Filipinos live Compose of about 7,107 scattered islands A beautiful and a peaceful destination My archipelago, my home, my little world Yet your people have chosen to leave Pawning and selling to others their own lands Dragging down our economy and the whole nation My archipelago, my home, my little world Full of diverse resources to offer and to give Like extraordinary fine white sands An abode for the future generation My archipelago, my home, my little world Lack of food and help to provide To our countrymen and our sides A disappointment to our legion My archipelago, my home, my little world The land where everybody wears a smile Living with faith to each of our religions Saving our own mother land to damnation My archipelago, my home, my little world A country where good lads have to suffer and to die An unconquerable virus and a nationwide trends Obviously happiness and peacefulness are on its dawn My archipelago, my home, my little world This is what the Philippines is today and was before An ideal island, a dangerous haven, A shelter for the masses, an opportunity for aliens The place where we have grown, the place that we do not own My archipelago, my home, my little world
