singing LUPANG HINIRANG incorrectly

may put you behind bars for 2 years and would fine you 100,000 pesosesosesoses. at first i thought this bill is funny but then it has a point. makes me think, "wow, pati national anthem strict na rin sa genre."
Improvised singing of “Lupang Hinirang” may soon be considered a criminal act.The House committee on basic education and culture, chaired by Rep. Del de Guzman of Marikina, announced the passage on third and final reading of the measure proposing to criminalize the incorrect rendition of the National Anthem. The bill imposes two-year imprisonment and a fine of P100,000.

Rep. Salvador Escudero 3rd of Sorsogon said once the bill is enacted into law, deviating from the musical arrangement of composer Maestro Julian Felipe Felipe when singing “Lupang Hinirang” will be considered a crime punishable under Republic Act 8491 signed on February 12, 1998.

LUPANG HINIRANG, the philippine's national anthem, should be in the range of 100-120 metronome, a marching-type tempo, and 2/4 beat when played, 4/4 when sung. it's not meant to be sad, or slow like we're mourning. it's supposed to be a declaration song, expression of pride and hope and love for country all at the same time.

ano sa palagay mo?
