LOOK: Alejano Nag Propose ng Batas na Palitan ang “Lupang Hinirang” as National Anthem, Payag ba Kayo?
Several months after Magdalo Party List Representative Gary Alejano proposed to create a commission to name the Philippines, the former mutineer lawmaker has submitted another unusual bill.
Under House Bill 5867, Alejano proposed the replacement of the Philippine national anthem “Lupang Hinirang” with another undisclosed song.
Alejano explained that changing the national anthem would rid it of the vestiges of colonialism; establish the national identity; and define how the nation, people, and national language would be addressed internationally.
In a statement, the lawmaker also argue that many people cannot memorize the Lupang Hinirang because of of the “deep language” used in the song.
He also added that the new song should not include any hard-to-understand words like “alab, pasisiil, dilag, luwalhati” and other words used in the current national anthem.

“Younger generation are getting the song harder to understand dahil sa malalim na tagalog. Kailangan palitan ng mga simpleng words lang para madaling maintindihan”, Alejano said.
Last July, Alejano filed a measure which seeks the creation of a commission that would look into changing the name of the Philippines.
Under House Bill 5867, Alejano proposed the creation of a “Geographic Renaming Commission” which would “study the possibility and the feasibility of renaming our country.”
The lawmaker, a former Marine captain turned mutineer, said the possible name should “appropriately address and define us as a people and nation.” /Joy Valle/
