Region IX: Zamboanga Peninsula Hymn – Our Eden Land Here the trees and flowers bloom Gallant men And Ladies fair Cebuanos, Ilocanos, Subanons, Boholanos, Ilongos, Here the breezes gently Blow, Linger with love and care All of them are proud and true Here the birds sing Merrily, Golden beams of sunrise and sunset Region IX our Eden Land The liberty forever Stays, Are visions you’ll never forget Oh! That’s Region IX Region IX Our.. Here the Badjaos roam the seas Hardworking people Abound, Eden... Here the Samals live in peace Every valleys and Dal Land...

My Final Farewell Farewell, dear Fatherland, clime of the sun caress'd Let the sun draw the vapors up to the sky, Pearl of the Orient seas, our Eden lost!, And heavenward in purity bear my tardy protest Gladly now I go to give thee this faded life's best, Let some kind soul o 'er my untimely fate sigh, And were it brighter, fresher, or more blest And in the still evening a prayer be lifted on high Still would I give it thee, nor count the cost. From thee, 0 my country, that in God I may rest.

On the field of battle, 'mid the frenzy of fight, Pray for all those that hapless have died, Others have given their lives, without doubt or heed; For all who have suffered the unmeasur'd pain; The place matters not-cypress or laurel or lily white, For our mothers that bitterly their woes have cried, Scaffold or open plain, combat or martyrdom's plight, For widows and orphans, for captives by torture tried T is ever the same, to serve our home and country's need. And then for thyself that redemption thou mayst gain

I die just when I see the dawn break, And when the dark night wraps the graveyard around Through the gloom of night, to herald the day; With only the dead in their vigil to see And if color is lacking my blood thou shalt take, Break not my repose or the mystery profound Pour'd out at need for thy dear sake And perchance thou mayst hear a sad hymn resound To dye with its crimson the waking ray. 'T is I, O my country, raising a song unto thee.

My dreams, when life first opened to me, And even my grave is remembered no more My dreams, when the hopes of youth beat high, Unmark'd by never a cross nor a stone Were to see thy lov'd face, O gem of the Orient sea Let the plow sweep through it, the spade turn it o'er From gloom and grief, from care and sorrow free; That my ashes may carpet earthly floor, No blush on thy brow, no tear in thine eye. Before into nothingness at last they are blown.

Dream of my life, my living and burning desire, Then will oblivion bring to me no care All hail ! cries the soul that is now to take flight; As over thy vales and plains I sweep; All hail ! And sweet it is for thee to expire ; Throbbing and cleansed in thy space and air To die for thy sake, that thou mayst aspire; With color and light, with song and lament I fare, And sleep in thy bosom eternity's long night. Ever repeating the faith that I keep.

If over my grave some day thou seest grow, My Fatherland ador'd, that sadness to my sorrow lends In the grassy sod, a humble flower, Beloved Filipinas, hear now my last good -by! Draw it to thy lips and kiss my soul so, I give thee all: parents and kindred and friends While I may feel on my brow in the cold tomb below For I go where no slave before the oppressor bends, The touch of thy tenderness, thy breath's warm power. Where faith can never kill, and God reigns e'er on high!

Let the moon beam over me soft and serene, Farewell to you all, from my soul torn away, Let the dawn shed over me its radiant flashes, Friends of my childhood in the home dispossessed! Let the wind with sad lament over me keen ; Give thanks that I rest from the wearisome day! And if on my cross a bird should be seen, Farewell to thee, too, sweet friend that lightened my way; Let it trill there its hymn of peace to my ashes. Beloved creatures all, farewell! In death there is rest!

I Am a Filipino, by Carlos P. Romulo I am a Filipino–inheritor of a glorious past, hostage to the uncertain I am a Filipino, child of the marriage of the East and the West. The future.
