I was on my way to work earlier when I've mistakenly moved my radio button to 99.5 RT. I never get to listen to them by mornings since Chico and Delamar of RX 93.1 fills my airwaves most of the time. I thought I'd be hearing music but to my surprise it was Panatang Makabayan. It occured to me what a way to instill Filipino values to our youth. Them, radio jocks are the most influential people over the frequencies and even on the internet, why not, even just once a day, play the Oath of Allegiance. A small awareness but would benefit all Filipino, young or old, student or professionals alike, regardless of religion. The oath marks our identity.
Embrace it. Fulfill it.

Current version
Iniibig ko ang Pilipinas,
aking lupang sinilangan,
tahanan ng aking lahi;
kinukupkop ako at tinutulungang
maging malakas, masipag, at marangal.
Dahil mahal ko ang Pilipinas,
diringgin ko ang payo ng aking mga magulang,
susundin ko ang tuntunin ng paaralan,
tutuparin ko ang tungkulin ng mamamayang makabayan;
naglilingkod, nag-aaral, at nagdarasal
nang buong katapatan.
Iaalay ko ang aking buhay, pangarap, pagsisikap
sa bansang Pilipinas
Translation of the original English version
Iniibig ko ang Pilipinas
Ito ang aking lupang sinilangan
Ito ang tahanan ng aking lahi
Ako'y kanyang kinukupkop at tinutulungan
Upang maging malakas, maligaya at kapakipakinabang
Bilang ganti, diringgin ko ang payo ng aking mga magulang
Susundin ko ang mga tuntunin ng aking paaralan
Tutuparin ko ang mga tungkulin ng isang mamamayang makabayan at masunurin sa batas
Paglilingkuran ko ang aking bayan nang walang pag-iimbot at ng buong katapatan
Sisikapin kong maging isang tunay na Pilipino sa isip, sa salita, at sa gawa
