He has a point, but I would defer on the change of “Ang mamatay ng dahil sa iyo” this song was written during the war, and we never know when will be the next one, and all Filipino should stand and fight for our sovereignty.
Dapat hindi naging isang colony ang Pilipinas kung nagawa ang Lupang Hiniring noon pa. Hindi dapat nagpaapi ang ating mga ninuno sa mga dayuhan kasi hanggang ngayon may inferiority complex pa rin ang mga Pilipino, at para bang tingin nila basta gawang dayuhan or laki sa US at magaling mag-english napakahusay ar dapat tingalain. Isang malaking halimbawa dito ang showbiz sa Pilipinas. Sana naging kasing tapang ng mga ninuno nating taga-Sulu ang lahat ng tao sa buong Pilipinas. Tama lang na pag may mangaapi, dapat ipagtanggol at lumaban ang bawat Pilipino kahit pa ang ibig sabihin nito ay ang ultimate sacrifice.
Here's my two cents. Our flag can be switched to the red on top in times of war. So, maybe in times of war, we sing the version we've been accustomed to, and in times of peace, we sing Mr. Ayala's version. Well, not everyone will agree with me since this may require a lot of work, but I think it would be nice to have a national anthem for peace and for war.
@@REmTnd we don't have deterrence or any form of defense...we have to be reliant of our own sense of "inner warriors" (totoo naman at merong dugo ng mandirigma sa mga ilan sa atin)...ang kantang Lupang Hinirang na nalakihan na natin ay ang parang huling bastion natin bilang warrior country ng sinaunang panahon. Oras na mawala ang paalala na ito eh.....
We've watched this last year as a class activity. 1:47 I really felt it; it connotes various meanings other than the stereotypical ones. I just felt I'd love to watch this again.
"Ang mamatay ng dahil sa'yo" is the climax of the song. It give us this adrenaline that whatever it takes, we will do it for our motherland despite what circumstances we have to face. It is the most empowering line in the song. Shedding our blood for this country will always be the best heroism one can do. Also, that line strengthens the other famous line from a song, "may agimat ang dugo ko!". God bless our nation and glory to our motherland! Padayon!
You can either hate his rendition of our national anthem or love it dearly. But we cannot deny the fact that he cares about the song and it's profound message much more than most of us. I know some people who don't even know [or care to know] the complete lyrics of Lupang Hinirang. It is safe to assume that the original rendition will not change for decades to come so let's stop acting all self-righteous and smart for a few minutes and just enjoy the video, for crying out loud.
What I loved about the talk was the way he explained from a musical standpoint how wording/phrasing should be used. It emphasizes the meaning of the song. Even before the subtle change, it was already a great piece of music, recognized around the world as one of the most beautiful national anthems ever composed. Joey Ayala's simple but potent alteration makes it the inspirational piece of music as originally intended.
"Aming ligaya na pag may mang-aapi, ang mamatay nang dahil sa 'you" is a statement of patriotism and therefore the best part of the Philippine National Anthem. It must never be changed, ever.
The parts about 'sa dagat at bundok', ' may dilag ang tula', and etc really makes sense tho. From elementary to high school choir, everyone in the assembly sings it like this: 'sa dagatat bundok, sa simoyat' and 'may dilagang tula'. they should at least legally change those parts
Bakit sa school naman namin hindi ganyan. Sa dagat at bundok sa simoy at sa langit mong bughaw. Baka mali ang turo sa school mo sir. Kasi hindi man kataasan school namin pero hindi mali ang lyrics na sinasambit namin pag flag ceremony at flag retreat.
@@michaeldomingo5234 i think ang ibig nyang sabihin ay yung PANTIG/SYLLABLE ng bawat salita. For sure hindi mali ang itinurong lyrics, tama ang lyrcis, pero mali ang pagkakabigkas kasi mali ang pantig. Iyon ang inayos ni Joey Ayala sa version nya na yan. Example, halos lahat ng tao kahit ako ganto ang pagkanta "may dilagang tula", kaya ginawa ni Joey na "may dilag ang tula" kasi yun daw dapat ang tamang pagkakabikas. 😉
@@jmg0332 siguro nga pero hindi kasi ganyan sa school namin. Kung ano yung right way ng pagbigkas yun naman tinuro samin. Or siguro minsan dahil na rin sa pabago bagong bilis ng tempo ng ibat ibang pagkanta ng pambansang awit kaya nagkakabulol bulol. But against akong palitan ang lyrics.
I love how he tweaked the meter and the phrasing of the words. It made a big difference and I have never had goosebumps listening to this song until now. It's beautiful!
May tatlo akong mga punto para sa mga sumusuporta at kumokontra sa gawang ito ni Ginoong Joey Ayala. Sana ay basahin ninyo at unawain. Sa himig, kundiman o martsa? Sa opinyon ko, kundiman ang mas angkop dahil sa mga sumusunod na kadahilanan: Ang awit ay hindi agresibo, ito'y nagpahihiwatig ng pagpapahalaga sa ganda ng bansa at ng pagmamahal sa bayan. Kasama na rin ang punto ni Ginoong Ayala na kung kundiman, makikita ang pagiging "malambot" ng mga Pilipino. Oo, malambot tayo, passive. Siguro dahil sa pagiging utak-kolonyal. Kung gusto ninyo ng martsa, dapat nakikita ito sa pagkatao natin. Sa pagbigkas, kailangan talagang linawin. Alalahanin mo nung nasa mababang paaralan ka, hindi mo naman lubos na naiintindihan ang mga titik ng awit. Tinandaan mo ito mula lang sa tunog. Para kang nagsaulo ng Kpop. Tama lamang na linawin ang pagbigkas upang lubos maintindihan, lalo na ng kabataan. Sa huling linya, "magmahal" o "mamatay" (o iba pa)? Buong linya: "Aming ligaya na 'pag may mang-aapi ang _____ ng dahil sa'yo." Hindi maganda ang mensaheng ibinibigay ng: "... ang mamatay ng dahil sa'yo" - ang bansa ang dahilan ng kamatayan mo? "... ang mamatay para sa'yo" - Mas mahalagang mabuhay ka para sa bayan. Huwag susuko sa buhay dahil sa anumang kadahilanan. "... ligaya na 'pag may mang-aapi ang magmahal ng dahil sa'yo" - Oo, sige, positibo pero may manlulupig na, hindi ka pa rin papalag? Ang mungkahi ko, "lumaban para sa'yo" o anumang katumbas nito. "Aming ligaya na 'pag may mang-aapi ang lumaban para sa'yo." Gayunpaman, sabi nga ni Ginoong Ayala, ito ay labag sa batas, anti-constitutional. Ang gawang ito ay upang lalong maging epektibong pagkakatawan ang awit sa bayan. Ayan, ang tatlong sentimo ko. Salamat sa pagbasa't pag-intindi.
Gdon De Leon Hindi naman s'ya nagtatalino talinohan sariling opinion n'ya iyon at besides tama naman lahat ng sinabi n'ya...matanong kita alin ba ang mali doon?
Ang pambansang awit, katulad ng pambansang sagisag hindi dapat binabago. Maganda ang mungkahi ni ginoong Joey Ayala subalit ang mungkahi niya, katulad ng ilang mga nauna sa kanya, ay batay sa kani-kanilang panlasa; na hindi naman maaring sang-ayunan ng lahat.
may dahilan bakit iyan ang letra, bakit iyan paraan mg pag awit sa lupang hibirang. hindi naman tayo nabuhay ng mga panahong inililimbag ang titik musika nito.
The line "ang mamatay ng dahil sayo" means how patriotic we are in our very own land. Nothing's really wrong with the lyrics the lyrics itself shows the love we can give to our land.
No it shouldn't be revised. Pwede yung tempo pero wag yung dulong part. Nakalimutan ni Joey Ayala yung buong phrase... "Aming ligaya na pag may mang aapi, ang mamatay nang dahil sa'yo". This is a statement of patriotism. Ligaya mong mamatay nang lumalaban para sa iyong Inang Bayan. Instead of revising the lyrics of the song, why not make it as one of history topics sa school, yung paghimay himayin yung phrases ng lupang hinirang para mas namnamin ng bawat estudyante yung pagkanta.
Ang pumatay ng dahil sayo dapat, techinically speaking a struggling country because of foreign repression has no real use of dead people with live enemies. The goal would be is to kill our enemies and make them die for their country instead. Sa boot camp, we are not trained to die and allowed to die unless ofcourse if given the order to do so, but its an overstatement but nonetheless gives us idea of how it's supposed to work. we salute this hymn every monday and friday during garrison and we are always reminded jokingly by our CG here in mindanao to make not do the last lyrics hehe.
@@kingpatwreckkk6194 no pre, yung nakalmutan nya ung buong meaning ng phrase na yon. Hindi yung technicalities ng music. Joey Ayala is no doubt an expert in music, pero that doesn't mean his opinion about changing the last part of the song is right. Ang last line kasi na yon, nagpapahiwatig na kung may kalaban = mangaapi, handa kang mamatay para sa iyong bayan.
@@renegadusunidos6151 ang mamatay ng dahil sayo ay general term. People who die for their country in nonviolent revolution or nonviolent defense against invasion or nonviolent defense of a nation-state's stated values, democracy, human rights, the rule of law, etc, against erosions and usurpations of the same. Hindi ibig sabihn puro patayan at suicide.
@@miah2011 NO IT WAS/IS (PROGRESSIVE) THEN AND THE GENERATIONS TO COME (FUTURE) THAT EVERY FILIPINO SHOULD DIE TO DEFEND( FOR) HIS MOTHERLAND! PAG HINI HINGI NG PAG KAKATAON!
I guess Joey Ayala's motif was to make nationalism relevant to today's time. Mainly maybe because genuine nationalism nowadays has been long forgotten.
i guess that genuine nationalism has just changed overtime, since when we made our national anthem as a march, we still had feelings radiating from our spanish oppressors. today's it is much more peaceful, moreso that we change it to that count
I'M CRYING...AND THIS COMMENT MAKES ME CRY MORE....ALAM NYO HINDI TALAGA MAINTINDIHAN NG TAO ANG HALAGA NG NATIONAL ANTHEM PERO SANA TALAGA MAINTINDIHAN
I love the way you attack the melody and strike the notes of each line...much more the so called "Pagbigkas" ng words.. At ang universal and powerful word ...that is to Love...sana may kalayaan tyong mga Pilipino to sing it as long as it is sung soulfully...Mabuhay ka Sir
It sounded like Kundiman, a real Filipino Music.. A love song, my country's love song.. that's how it sounded like. I cried a tear as I listen to every word and hymn. Thank you Mr. Joey A. for sharing with us a glimpse of what you believe is beautiful and what you felt that was love, genuine love for our country...
HHHMMMMMM, PAPANSIN LANG SIYA IKUKUNDIMAN MO, EH ANTHEM YAN, HINDI YAN KUNDIMAN AT ALL! MAY PURPOSE KUNG BAKIT GANYAN ANG ARRANGEMENT NG ANTHEM NA YAN!
Do not change the last part dahil pag binago yon parang pinagsawalang bahala natin yung ginawa ng ating ninuno for us, and it's a way of reminding every Pilipino na masayang mamatay habang pinagtatanggol mo ang bayan mo♥️ ang kaylangan lang mabago yung way ng pronounciation.
This is my own opinion on his take. I love this version of how the National Anthem should be sang but I think "ang mamatay ng dahil sa'yo" is much more nationalistic for me. I think dying for our country also is an act of love.
The way it's sung - emphasizing the right connection of phrases regardless its usual meter and rhythm - had moved me so much. It made me boost my patriotism.. This is one thing that can make you say you're proud of being a Filipino.
This version makes sense especially with the changes in the phrasing and the meter. It's refreshing, too. I would like to hear an orchestration of this and a rendition by the Philippine Madrigal Singers, too. I have a renewed appreciation and desire to sing our National Anthem in this new form. Good job Joey A.!
"You'll never sing our National Anthem the same way again." Maraming salamat, Mr. Joey Ayala. As I sang with you, I was literally moved into tears. I remember all our heroes, those in the past who have died for us just to give my beloved country political independence; and those in the present who have continuously lived for this nation's families in order to give them financial independence.
Really loved the change of tempo and the vibe of it it sounds like something we can sing after all the hardships pain and suffering that we have been through. But changing the lyrics of "ang mamatay ng dahil sayo" to "ang magmahal ng dahil sayo" is a big NO. That line makes us remember what our country has been through all of the soldiers that fought for our freedom.
But songs aren't how we record history, we do that with books and museums, and the like. Songs are for sending messages. So even if we change the song, we wouldn't necessarily forget the martyrs of our history. And a message of love not war is a much better message in my opinion.
First time in a very long time I actually felt proud of being a Filipino...that was a very heartfelt rendition of our National Anthem. I cried a little.
technically it wasn't. The Heraldric law only allows the one and only arrangement as THE national anthem. Standing for this song would make it illegal.
EH KUNG SI MR. AYALA EH, FOR ME AY NAG SU SUGGEST NA KUNG ANO ANO, COMEDY PA ANG PAG PE PRESENT, ANO PO ANG AASAHAN NINYO,? AUTOMATIC SANA YAN PAG NARINIG, TALIMA AGAD, PERO WALA NEW GENERATION! DI NIYA I CONSIDER ANG SENTIMIENTO NG SUMULAT BAKIT NIYA ISINULAT YON TAPOS GUSTONG BAGUHIN. ANG TANONG SINO BA SIYA? PAG ARALAN MUNA NIOYA ANG HISTORY NG MABUTI. THE SENTIMENT, LOGIC, SITUATION AND ETC PAANO NABUO ANG HIMIG, LYRICS!
ang sarap pakinggan tlga nito....the beat, the kundiman tempo, the rhythm ~ i've personally watched him sang this at his mini concert in iloilo and they used this for the opening night in an open field. Naka-focus un spotlight sa Bandila, peoples' right hands on their hearts, and super-cry after, as in! ~ not to mention, everyone noticed na meron pang ng fly by na eagle while everyone was singing this version...Love!
Agree, our national anthem's music and lyrics are already perfect.. His version sounds good too because it sounds like a ballad and he is using a guitar. But no need to change our anthem♡
I'm a teacher in Thailand now. Ohhh I miss Philippines. ❤ I sometimes sing our philippine national anthem because Im so afraid I might forgot it. Ohh I miss our home. Our country.
I love the way Joey Ayala rearranged and sung our beloved national anthem Lupang Hinirang. The spirit and the emotions that come with it made me feel proud and empowered as a Filipino. Gusto ko na tuloy manapak ng mga nang-aapi sa mga Pilipino kahit ikamatay ko pa! On the other hand, I'd rather not change anything in the lyrics but if I would have to it would be the last part and i'd write it as "...ang mamatay nang para sa''yo". The word "para" would highlight the intention and willingness of the Filipino to die for his beloved country.
I am an American married to a Filipina. I also happen to think the Philippines National Anthem SOUNDS better than The Star Spangled Banner. Leave this one alone. DO NOT change it.
Ilang taon na, naiiyak parin ako kapag pinapanood ko to.. tumatayo ang mga balahibo ko,. Maraming salamat ginoong joey ayala. Ituturo ko ito sa mga anak ko, dahil kundi ito, isa ito sa pinakamagandang kantang napagtanto ko sa buhay ko. Muli salamat sa'yo.
Mas Akma ang orihinal na rendisyon ng lupang hinirang sa mga rebolusyonaryong namatay para sa bayan, patunay dito ang huling litanya ng kanta "Ang mamatay ng dahil sayo". Pero kung karaniwang tao ka lamang, hindi mo naman gugustuhin mamatay para sa iba sa sitwasyon ng bansa natin ngayon diba? Kontemporaryong musikero si Joey Ayala kaya niya binago ang huling litanya ng awit, sa panahon ngayon, mas mabuting magmahal sa kapwa kaysa sa makibaka at pumatay kahit na para sa ikabubuti ito. Napaka ganda ng intro ng rendisyon ni Joey Ayala!
Let's not stick to tradition merely Fir the sake of sticking to tradition. What a huge difference correct phrasing makes in allowing meaning to shine through. The poetry and the passion of the lyrics can be better appreciated with this arrangement.
WHAT IS WRONG PHRASING? ANG MAY MALI YONG KUMAKANTA!, NATUTO LANG NAMAN ANG KARAMIHAN SA PAG SUNOD SA PAG KANTA DI NAMAN FORMAL NA PINAG ARALAN PAANO KANTAHIN!
Ive never appreciated the mational anthem until ive heard this version.. for the first time ive understood and appreciated each word of the lyrics😊 genius mabuhay ka sir joey ayala
i appreciate his opinion on the pronunciation, but i don't agree on changing the "Ang Mamatay ng Dahil Sayo". it has a deeper meaning, it means that we can sacrifice/fight for our country.
it was along time since my last music lesson... i reckon this is a creative lecture on musicality keeping with the dynamism of patriotism. among the many points that he made, what struck me most was his presentation on the last verse on this great song. when the anthem was originally created, to die for the country was what was heroic to do. i believe JOEY AYALA hit it in the eye when he suggests that to be nationalist now means to be positive in all things that matter, citing OFWs' love for country and family drive our kababayans to find better luck overseas, thus the phrase "ang magmahal ng dahil sa iyo"... There's the bigger possibility, JOEY AYALA's genius shall again be underplayed, unfortunately, by the people in the NCCA for the simple reason that some "nationalists" tend to be really rigid on their rules. Nonetheless, i want to believe that i am among the many who RESPECT AYALA's love for the country and his musical prowess.... i mind though that the audience did not stand while the anthem was sung.... however, i might not have stood up myself if i was in the audience... given the circumstance, i might have forgotten to do so because of awe to what was transpiring onstage.... simply GREAT!!!
Ang pagmamahal sa bayan Hindi iisang kulay, hindi lamang pula, dilaw, asul o puti. Purihin ang tama at punahin ang mali ng sinumang nakaupo sa gobyerno. Tayo dapat ay maging malawak ang kaisipan na hindi perpekto ang kahit anong administrasyon. Ngunit may ilang prinsipyo na hindi negotiable: ang pagrespeto sa konstitusyon; ang pagtaguyod ng Human Rights; ang pagtatakwil sa katiwalian. Nawa ay maisabuhay nang bawat bawat titik ng ating pambansang awit. Sang-ayon din ako kay Joey Ayala, hindi kailangan mamatay, kailangan magmahal para sa bayan!!!
a grim reminder sa mga mamamayan na nagbuwis ng buhay nila para sa pagmamahal nila sa bayan, where would we be now kung wala yung mga nagrevulto? probably an annex of another country, and not independent Philippines tas nacompose ito around the time of war.. a time when nationalism will truly be tested hays...puso at dugo nila nasa lyrics they were willing to die for the land where the people resided (in this day and age) he could be an example of nationalistic people who truly love their country and is willing to fight and die for the land and people... president Duterte meh... di naman mababago anyways
I think his rendition of the National Anthem was an "eye opener" for all of us Filipinos. We sing the National Anthem not knowing its context, its meaning. We tend to ignore these small details because many of us do not know it. That is also one reason why majority tend to suddenly skip a verse, skip a part of the anthem. I definitely agree with him, change the melody, correct the pronunciation. Ending the song with a positive vibe is also a good idea, but then the context of to live and die for the country would then be changed. To think that he had the guts to create a different rendition of the National Anthem was awesome, but to do this in public? Phenomenal. Considering that it is illegal. Goodjob! *damn goosebumps
To all that is in favor of changing it think it twice! If your reason is you do not understand it i say sing it loudly and whole heartedly! Read our own history then prove me wrong if you cannot understand it still. Its war out there! Its our people that being thread upon so we need to enliven the spirit. Kundiman song doesn't have that appeal, it tends us to hide in the dark and cling on our pain. Inaapi ka na magmamahal ka pa? Ironic that is!
No two or more people can feel and think identically. For me our national anthem is sacred as it is . It is not like song hits that easily come and go according the mood at hand.
Sir Joey do not mean to diminish the role of our martyrs but merely a suggestion. And he by all mean did a very good job by stressing the errors in singing the national anthem which are commonly set aside. May this teach us that the National Anthem is not just a song but our identity as a people, country and most specially democracy.
Joey's rendition made me tearful because it brought this beautiful poetry into a new light, I would like to invite Joey on the next Independende Day Celebration of our town so that our towns people will get to hear this more powerful version
I know that we used to sing Lupang Hinirang when we were young, Singing it wholeheartedly while standing beneath the sun, hand on our chest and often times we got goosebumps whilst singing this because of its patriotic vibe that this song brought to us. However, I'm strongly believe that the ending of Lupang Hinirang should not revise because that line means a lot to us, the metaphor and its meaning remain historic and patriotic. Maligayang Araw ng Kalayaan sa susunod na mga Araw. Mabuhay ang Pilipinas! 🇵🇭
For me, the last line na " Ang mamatay ng dahil sayo" can mean two things, this just how I interpret the last line. I don't know what the writter originally intended to convey but for me this is what he was saying. It can mean that handa tayong ibigay ang lahat pati ang ating sariling buhay para sa ating lupang sinilangan, ang pilipinas. And what I mean by "buhay" is hindi lang literal na buhay kundi yung ating life style we can change our life style para sa interest ng buong pilipinas. By changing the bad practices. And the second interpretation is for the people who are willing to sell our independence, our very own country in exchange for their own interest. Para sa mga taong trumaydor sa pilipinas at sa mga pilipino, sa mga taong nag nakaw sa mga mahihirap na pilipino sa mga pumaptay sa kultura ng mga pilipino sa mga nakakalimot sa pinanggalingan, sa mga taong sumira sa kinabukasan ng kabataan, sa mga tao na sumisira sa kalikasan, para sa mga taong nakakalimutan ng ipagdasal ang pilipinas, sa mga taong nag balewala sa totoong minsahe ng lupang hinirang. "Ang mamatay ng dahil sayo" Yan ang huling linya ng pilipinas bago siya bawian ng buhay.
wow, perfect version and accompaniment. galing pgkadeliver yung lyrics. emphasize talaga. the living legend joey ayala... thank you very very very much.... group huggggg.... hehe.
"Ang mamatay ng dahil sayo" di na kailngan plitan....panahon ng gera isinulat yan....it shows patriotism......handang mamatay para sa bayan .....pero salute to you sir...swabeng swabe ang pag pronounce mo sa bawat lyrics......ang sarap pakinggan...
Marahil malagim ang dating ng mga katagang "Ang mamatay nang dahil say iyo" ngunit mas gusto ko pa din ito kaysa sa binanggit ni Ka-Joey na "Ang magmahal nang dahil sa iyo". Sure, the latter suggestion is cute but the original words preserve the sacredness and essence as to why the hymn was written in the first place. Bagong laya noon ang Pilipinas. Ipinapahiwatig sa Lupang Hinirang ang nag-aalab na nasyonalismo at pagdiriwang ng kalayaan na katumbas ng dugo at pawis ng mga bayani ng nakalipas. Kalayaan na ti-netake natin for granted ngayon - katulad na lang ng pagkanta natin kung minsan sa awiting ito. Kudos to this talk for reminding everyone the respect the National Anthem ought to deserve. (May TED pala sa Pilipinas. Nice!) But in my humble opinion, the original final lines were just fine.
+Rey Mark Galiza I prefer the "ang mamatay nang dahil sa'yo" too. This death doesn't really have to be physical or in the literal sense, but to die in one's selfish interests. Forget oneself and live for the Philippines. Yes, that could also be "Ang magmahal nang dahil sa'yo" because to love is to fight for what is true and right, which is to preserve the country's interests. However, it just doesn't fit the line it succeeded: Aming ligaya na 'pag may mang-aapi... Ang alanganin 'di ba kapag sinabing, "Aming ligaya na 'pag may mang-aapi, ang MAGMAHAL nang dahil sa'yo"?
Naging identity na ng mga Filipino ang hindi umaatras sa laban kahit pa sa binggit ng kamatayan. Noong World War 2, within a few days, bagsak na agad yung mga colonies ng ex-super power na Great Britain. Samantalang yung Bataan ay inabot ng ilang buwan. Sa Korean War, ganun din. Nagtakbuhan yung ilang nationalities against the onslaught of overwhelming Chinese forces pero yung mga ninuno natin, they held their ground. Kung papalitan natin yung 'mamatay' ng 'magmahal' a positive trait that we Filipinos are known for (a tenacious fighting heart) will be replaced with a negative trait: cowardice. Dying for your country to preserve its freedom has always been positive versus loving your country's enemy and collaborating with its invaders. I think Mr. Ayala's message through his rendition of our National Anthem has a deeper meaning. Gusto ba natin talagang maging malambot tayo pagdating sa ating mga manlulupig?
agree with u sir, ang pagkakaintindi ko rin is pag meron tyong ipinagtatanggol o idinidepensa dba sinasabi natin over my dead body na hndi nman ibig sabihin magpapakamatay tyo, which means na itataya mo ang buhay mo hanggang kamatayan.
i guess julian felipe is smiling at this man for making a different style of this. It really reminded me of when our church made a different version of amazing grace.
Ang matino na leader at may tunay na pagmamahal sa bayan ay magkakainterest na irevise ng ganito ang national anthem. Kaso karamihan walang pakialam. Mabuhay ka Joey Ayala!
i will still go for "mamatay" than "magmahal". To die for our country is still like loving for our country. Thus it has a lot of meaning. Like honoring our country. I think "mamatay" is still the appropriate word. :)
Para sa'kin ha..mali ang pagkakaintindi natin ng last na "ang mamatay ng dahil sa'yo" guys pinuputol kasi natin, kung maalala natin halos lahat kun di man lahat na mga national anthem ay nagpapakita ng loyalty, courage, at love sa kanilang country, example sa US "the land of the free and the home of the brave. sa South korea may lyrics na "With this spirit and this mind, give all loyalty, in suffering or in joy, love the country." Sa atin ganito "aming ligaya ng pag may man-aapi, ang mamatay ng dahil sa'yo". Di tayo maligaya pag may nang-aapi, maligaya tayo na mamatay para sa bayan kung sakaling may mang-aapi, at sa salitang maligaya, hindi yun kasiyahan, ibig sabhin ng maligaya sa lyrics eh taos puso nating tatanggapin ang mamatay para sa bayan. Example: "Maligaya akong tanggapin ang hamon mo." Ayon, sana malinawan kayo at masyadong literal kung mag translate ang iba sa atin...
Actually its "Aming Ligaya NA pag may mang-aapi. However, the song does give a pessimistic feel, as if the only way to find elation during invaders is to die. The song tells the cultural environment during the revolutionary days, where being a patriot is a death sentence. in the original Spanishm the last two lines go like this. "Es una gloria para tus hijos, Cuando de ofenden, por ti morir." It is a glory for your children, when offended, to die for you. Personally the English version of the Anthem is much more positive. "Oh, never shall its shining fields Be dimmed by tyrants might." Which is the real intent of the anthem, that no tyrant shall dim the light coming from this "Chosen Land."
gilbert paulo Pagapang I only began to understand the national anthem some years ago, when I read the former official English version. The final words are " But it is glory ever, when thou art wronged, For us, thy sons to suffer and die." Luminaw bigla. Sa Filipino version kasi, lalo na dahil dun sa awkward phrasing and para lang tumugma sa composition, para ngang pessimistic. Di naman ineexplain yung lyrics sa school. Sauluhin ang mga naging crush ni Jose Rizal at mga paborito n'yang libro, sure, intindihin ang national anthem? Nah. Inisip ko na lang na baka ibig sabihin nun, ligaya natin pag yung mang-aapi e mamamatay dahil sa Pilipinas. Imbes na mamatay para sa Pilipinas para ipagtanggol ito sa mang-aapi. So, di lang iisang paraan pwedeng i-misconstrue ng mga bata yang lyrics na yan, pero walang nag-eexplain. At ang dilag pala ganon ang pronunciation, at ang ibig sabihin pala ay "splendor." Pero sa English, klaro na ang magbibigay ng buhay para sa bayan ay yung anak ng bayan.
gilbert paulo Pagapang tama po kayo sa pagexplain pero why it has to be those martyr words that could have martyr script influence. Why can't they be positive inspiring words like those examples you gave. Kayla karamihan sa atin ay mag martyr. Young people are studying to be domestic helpers because they believe and proud to be called heroes. Yes they are heroes but it seems to me Filipinos are convinced that to be heroes is to be martyrs than being innovative. Just being confident and strong discouraged ka agad to be called arrogante. I know not all Filipinos think this way but too many of them do that it seemed to me that it became part of our culture.
I enjoyed listening to his voice singing our national anthem with clarity and right stress to the words but I think reading comments here was so ughh like 'yung ang kuletttt HAHAHAH
outside the box ba? bobo ka ibig sabihin. bakit need mo pa mag-isip outside the box? for what? para kunyari matalino ka at creative. Kelan pa naging significance ng pagiging hindi outside the box thinker ang pagsasabi ng negative comments? Many famous people ang outside the box thinker but still can give negative comments in anything. Wag ka gumawa ng sarili mong facts. BOBO KA.
gerome castillon Hmmm... Not being able to think outside the box shows how close-minded you are bro. It's not "nagkukunwaring matalino", it's being able to get external thoughts other than your own ideals and knowledge. I hope that clears things out. Have a nice day.
The ultimate act of patriotism is to give your life for your country. Etong version nia na "Aming ligaya na pag may mang aapi, ang mamagmahal ng dahil sayo" parang hndi na ganun kapatriotic ang meaning. Imagine mo na lang noong mga panahon ng gyera nung spanish-american/japanese if ganyan ung lyrics ng last line, hndi ko lang alam if maboboost ang morale ng mga pilipino para lumaban at maging meaningful ang sacrifice nila kung sakali bawian sila ng buhay. The rest, two thumbs up!
I totally agree with Rob' Ramos. The National Anthem was made based on our history as a nation and it will not and must not be revised just to fit in with the new generation. I believe Joey Ayala has the best intention at heart, but he doesn't seem to remember why it was made that way, the music and the lyrics... if the new generation today doesn't understand the lyrics of the song and why it was sang that way, then they must do their research and review their Philippine history.
tharealworld1 Do you understand YOUR flawed reasoning as well? Please, don't be an idiot, you know that's not what we meant. You're making yourself sound like you can't understand at all.
I believe the changes he wants to impart on the National Anthem is of good intention; the changes doesn't necessarily mean changing the past or the history itself. It just so happen that patriotism nowadays demands a different way of showing it. Somehow following the norms and tradition could limit our potentials. I am speaking in behalf of the millennials and I am speaking in general terms. As our country is coping up with the changes, there are matters we need to develop as well. Change is good. And change again, doesn't mean forgetting the past.
a. The suggestions regarding phrasings are spot on. b. The suggestion regarding "magmahal" over "mamatay" is shallow. This song is about love of country (lupang hinirang), the country's love for its people ( bayang magiliw), love of independence (paglayang minamahal), victory in war (kislap ng watawat mo'y tagumpay na nagniningning), unceasing yearning for freedom ( araw niya... di magdidilim), the joyful willingness to fight (aming ligaya...) the oppressor and crushers of our dreams (pag may mang-aapi) because the Filipino is brave (duyan ka ng magiting). c. To "Sharon-ize" and "bading-ize" a classic is to render it meaningless. If we want a national anthem to which we can group hug, I suggest we change our anthem to 'Kumbaya."
Lupang hinirang was created in the time of war so it's only natural they'd use the word "mamatay". You can't really change the lines of lupang hinirang because it spoke the hardships Filipinos faced in the times of war.
I appreciate the life given by Joey Ayala on our National anthem and he has a carefree spirit concept on the changing of the beat, on how words should have been spoken and even changing one word at the end of the anthem itself. Although I appreciate this bold effort I feel uneasy with how he termed the Filipinos as soft for a marching song and thus "Magmahal" seems suitable to us than "Mamatay". This one word though is what makes us Filipinos- willing to die for a cause... Dying to us is the ultimate form of loving- that is what Lapu-lapu, Rizal up to Ninoy showed us. Hugs are OK but we'd rather hug our loved ones and take the bullet and harm that may come to them to the point of dying... Joey's depiction and understanding of the Filipino Martial Arts is even offending for me as a Filipino Martial Artist, clearly showing that he does not know our martial creed. The entire Martial arts community in the world looks upon the Filipino art of Arnis/Eskrima/Kali as a practical, very confrontational, and very combative art in most aspects. Europe and most of the Western world knows and acknowledge that, most Filipinos are unaware. I don't know what Martial arts he is referring to, but what he showed thru actions/depictions is definitely not FMA (Filipino Martial Arts). Again, my respects to a good singer and talented songwriter but please give due credit to the Bravery of our heritage both in a lyric and in our arts... Pugay!
I agree with you with regard to his remark on martial arts. By the gesture he made, I think he was describing Tai Chi. I have no issues about "lahat tayo bading." I don't care how other people describe Tai Chi (it's been described by a Westerner as being like ballet in a Bruce Lee interview). It's just that Tai Chi is not ours. Obviously, Joey Ayala is not very familiar with Filipino martial arts, which are, as you've said correctly, confrontational and combative. Or maybe he is, but thought that Tai Chi is also Pinoy martial arts. If this is the case, I think Ayala's reference to Tai Chi as our type of martial arts is coming from his belief that we are a loving, romantic, sentimental people. Hence, the change from "mamatay" to "magmahal." And this is in no way condescending.
***** Yes Paul, the power and meaning of every song depends on personal interpretations, and thus is subjective in nature, but the tone and objective translation of the words and totality of it depends on the genre from which it was written. The music was composed in 1898 by Julián Felipe, and the lyrics were adapted from the Spanish poem Filipinas, written by José Palma in 1899. Originally written as incidental music, it did not have lyrics when it was adopted as the anthem of the revolutionary First Philippine Republic and subsequently played during the proclamation of Philippine independence on June 12, 1898
phisofide Hi, that's true, the actions show Tai-chi, and whether Joey knows FMA (Filipino Martial Arts) or not and however he interprets the Filipino heart is his right to interpret, but as an FMA Guro I simply want to correct our martial arts that is less understood by most. Not giving its due will simply further cloud its true meaning ...
Ang magmahal ng dahil sayo is very good ! But this song is ginawa noong panahon ng giyera ng tayo sinakop at maraming pilipino ang nagbuwis ng buhay pra sa kapwa pilipino pra sa kalayaan. "ang mamatay ng dahil sayo" hinde lng basta lyrics.. eto ay history totoong pangyayari na ikinabit sa diwa at puso ng kanta.. na dapat ay hinde maaring kalimutan.. ...kailanman
The scenario at that time when this song was made was insignificantly futile so basing it to this lyrics " Aming ligaya ng pag may man-aapi, ang mamatay ng dahil sa'yo" was pride. It means willingness of whatever what the possibilities would be.
Lahat ng na propose nya na baguhin may sense... Hindi lang ung huling part.. "Ang mamatay ng dahil sayo" --- I cannot think of a more epic and powerful phrase to signify Filipinos patriotism. Galing pa rin Sir Joey!!!
I'd been reading comments about bashing/commending Sir Ayala's action but please I'd like to point out that he did it because he's a songwriter, a proud filipino,and a positive perspective loving person.
No need to change how the National Anthem must be sung or to change the lyrics. Joey Ayala must have a point but he will never understand the core of every word put into this song to fit into the whole history of the Philippines or the feeling they felt. If the words of our National Anthem is taken literally, then one must give a bias interpretation. Let's respect the people behind this song and do not use the National Anthem for personal gain. What we can do now is to tell our children what the song is all about so they will know the real meaning and they will sing it by heart.
Pinoy Showbiz Latest the changed melody made a lot of meaning. Today’s generation will understand it more clearly. I’d be proud to be part of the generation where the national anthem was given more emotions. I still respect the one who made the original. It does not go away.
The youth or even some old people doesn't understand the national anthem not because of howbit was sung but because of the lack of explanations in the school. The teachers let the students memorize but they never explained what it means. In short Flipinos cannot understand their national anthem because they don't know what it means. Most even cannot memorize even only half of the song. How sad
He made changes to the pauses so the words are more understandable. Even if he changed the ending, it's not a drastic change to where the song has lost its meaning. Patriotism, love for the country, it's all still there.
joey ayala, being a good musician, basically applied polyrithmic pattern into the National Anthem allowing him to sing the lyrics in their full words removing contracted words.
I agree with what this person has done....The fact that the way we sing our national anthem seems like we're marching to death...Life today is not the same during world war 1 & 2 and during Spanish times. Maybe we should move on in life and look forward to a brighter and calmer future. I also believe that our current way of singing this song and also some parts of the lyrics have some psychological effect on us especially to young Filipinos. Singing a song in a harsh way as if looking for vengeance is not good in my opinion. So in my personal opinion, give this man a cookie and let him change the way Filipinos sing our national anthem.
IT IS AN ANTHEM, NOT I REPEAT AN ANTHEM, HINDI SIYA KUNDIMAN, KAYA GANYAN ANG ARRANGEMENT, AN ANTHEM IS A" ROUSING SONG KAYA PARANG MARTSA, MARUNONG PA SIYA SA NAG LIKHA NG ANTHEM" TIMELESS ANG MESSAGE NG ANTHEM!
As a member of a choral ensemble, we were taught that in singing, the words should be sung and enunciated the way we would say them as if we are speaking normally; no other than the world renowned Philippine Madrigal Singers express songs in this way. Joey Ayala has done that, and it is much clearer. It's just sad that no one is allowed by law to express the national anthem that deviates from its prescribed, nay, mandated way of singing to the letter. Since music is all about expression which conveys a message, the freedom to express this beautiful song is restricted. Perhaps it is time to review the law.
wow, so many strong opinions. i am a nationalist myself, but i believe this is a breath of fresh air. if you ask teens nowadays if they like our anthem, i'm pretty sure they'll say no. but if they get to listen to this version, they might feel that spark of nationalistic pride that so few possess. we must reach out to the young ones because they will one day lead us. :) and i believe that magmahal and mamatay are equally good words, though very opposite in feel. :)
This is the best version of our national anthem, Lupang Hinirang! But the last line, "ang mamatay ng dahil sa'yo" should stay as it is. Mabuhay ang Pilipinas 🇵🇭
The constant in this world is change...so accept the fact that we need to change for the better...but the thought or the sense of the national anthem is still there so there will be no problem...
Personal na tradisyon ko na panoorin ito tuwing araw ng kalayaan.
Maligayang Ika-126 taon ng kalayaan. Mabuhay ang Pilipinas.
First time I heard this, it made me realized how beautiful the national anthem really is.
Nawa'y manatili tayong malaya 💛
Awww I really like this version. Damang-dama mo ang bawat words. Mas makabayan. Petition Sana!
He has a point, but I would defer on the change of “Ang mamatay ng dahil sa iyo” this song was written during the war, and we never know when will be the next one, and all Filipino should stand and fight for our sovereignty.
Peace breads complacency, later generations lost the value of fighting for freedom after taking it for granted on a daily basis.
That line indicates that by all means; Filipinos should always be protecting its independence.
Dapat hindi naging isang colony ang Pilipinas kung nagawa ang Lupang Hiniring noon pa. Hindi dapat nagpaapi ang ating mga ninuno sa mga dayuhan kasi hanggang ngayon may inferiority complex pa rin ang mga Pilipino, at para bang tingin nila basta gawang dayuhan or laki sa US at magaling mag-english napakahusay ar dapat tingalain. Isang malaking halimbawa dito ang showbiz sa Pilipinas. Sana naging kasing tapang ng mga ninuno nating taga-Sulu ang lahat ng tao sa buong Pilipinas. Tama lang na pag may mangaapi, dapat ipagtanggol at lumaban ang bawat Pilipino kahit pa ang ibig sabihin nito ay ang ultimate sacrifice.
Here's my two cents. Our flag can be switched to the red on top in times of war. So, maybe in times of war, we sing the version we've been accustomed to, and in times of peace, we sing Mr. Ayala's version. Well, not everyone will agree with me since this may require a lot of work, but I think it would be nice to have a national anthem for peace and for war.
@@REmTnd we don't have deterrence or any form of defense...we have to be reliant of our own sense of "inner warriors" (totoo naman at merong dugo ng mandirigma sa mga ilan sa atin)...ang kantang Lupang Hinirang na nalakihan na natin ay ang parang huling bastion natin bilang warrior country ng sinaunang panahon. Oras na mawala ang paalala na ito eh.....
When Joey Ayala said, "Mga bading tayong lahat"
I felt that.
Powerful.
haha....
As the Gays say: All girls are for boys.. but all boys are for everyone!
hajhaahahahaha
We've watched this last year as a class activity. 1:47 I really felt it; it connotes various meanings other than the stereotypical ones. I just felt I'd love to watch this again.
"Ang mamatay ng dahil sa'yo" is the climax of the song. It give us this adrenaline that whatever it takes, we will do it for our motherland despite what circumstances we have to face. It is the most empowering line in the song. Shedding our blood for this country will always be the best heroism one can do. Also, that line strengthens the other famous line from a song, "may agimat ang dugo ko!". God bless our nation and glory to our motherland! Padayon!
You can either hate his rendition of our national anthem or love it dearly. But we cannot deny the fact that he cares about the song and it's profound message much more than most of us. I know some people who don't even know [or care to know] the complete lyrics of Lupang Hinirang. It is safe to assume that the original rendition will not change for decades to come so let's stop acting all self-righteous and smart for a few minutes and just enjoy the video, for crying out loud.
Finally!!
up you go
What I loved about the talk was the way he explained from a musical standpoint how wording/phrasing should be used. It emphasizes the meaning of the song. Even before the subtle change, it was already a great piece of music, recognized around the world as one of the most beautiful national anthems ever composed. Joey Ayala's simple but potent alteration makes it the inspirational piece of music as originally intended.
"Aming ligaya na pag may mang-aapi, ang mamatay nang dahil sa 'you" is a statement of patriotism and therefore the best part of the Philippine National Anthem. It must never be changed, ever.
The parts about 'sa dagat at bundok', ' may dilag ang tula', and etc really makes sense tho.
From elementary to high school choir, everyone in the assembly sings it like this: 'sa dagatat bundok, sa simoyat' and 'may dilagang tula'.
they should at least legally change those parts
Impetus Armati sa school namin tinuro ang tamang phrasing ng kanta ewan ko sa ibang pinoy bakit di alam yan 😅
Bakit sa school naman namin hindi ganyan. Sa dagat at bundok sa simoy at sa langit mong bughaw. Baka mali ang turo sa school mo sir. Kasi hindi man kataasan school namin pero hindi mali ang lyrics na sinasambit namin pag flag ceremony at flag retreat.
@@michaeldomingo5234 i think ang ibig nyang sabihin ay yung PANTIG/SYLLABLE ng bawat salita. For sure hindi mali ang itinurong lyrics, tama ang lyrcis, pero mali ang pagkakabigkas kasi mali ang pantig. Iyon ang inayos ni Joey Ayala sa version nya na yan. Example, halos lahat ng tao kahit ako ganto ang pagkanta "may dilagang tula", kaya ginawa ni Joey na "may dilag ang tula" kasi yun daw dapat ang tamang pagkakabikas. 😉
@@jmg0332 siguro nga pero hindi kasi ganyan sa school namin. Kung ano yung right way ng pagbigkas yun naman tinuro samin. Or siguro minsan dahil na rin sa pabago bagong bilis ng tempo ng ibat ibang pagkanta ng pambansang awit kaya nagkakabulol bulol. But against akong palitan ang lyrics.
@@michaeldomingo5234 true, ganda kaya ng lyrics, isa tayo sa may pinaka magandang lyrics at tono ng national anthem kumpara sa ibang country.
Still 100 times better than Tito Sotto’s revision proposal.
Nycky acually joey ayala was one of the composers who suggested to tito sotto to change the lyrics of the song. Peace.
Fernando Amorsolo I see. But “Ang magmahal ng dahil sayo” is still sounds better than “Ang ipaglaban kalayaan mo” 😊
Pero mas maganda, Aming ligaya na pag may mang-aapi, buong bansa, eat bulaga! Haha
@@jurgswa Tsanggala xD
Alodia Dasovi Tapang. If we just understand sides, Philippines can be better
"Ang mamatay ng dahil sa'yo" is the ultimate expression of love.
Agree
I love how he tweaked the meter and the phrasing of the words. It made a big difference and I have never had goosebumps listening to this song until now. It's beautiful!
IT SHOULD NOT BE TWEAKED HINDI SIYA KUNDIMAN, ANTHEM SIYA KAYA GANYAN ANG ARRANGEMENT!
May tatlo akong mga punto para sa mga sumusuporta at kumokontra sa gawang ito ni Ginoong Joey Ayala. Sana ay basahin ninyo at unawain.
Sa himig, kundiman o martsa?
Sa opinyon ko, kundiman ang mas angkop dahil sa mga sumusunod na kadahilanan:
Ang awit ay hindi agresibo, ito'y nagpahihiwatig ng pagpapahalaga sa ganda ng bansa at ng pagmamahal sa bayan. Kasama na rin ang punto ni Ginoong Ayala na kung kundiman, makikita ang pagiging "malambot" ng mga Pilipino. Oo, malambot tayo, passive. Siguro dahil sa pagiging utak-kolonyal. Kung gusto ninyo ng martsa, dapat nakikita ito sa pagkatao natin.
Sa pagbigkas, kailangan talagang linawin.
Alalahanin mo nung nasa mababang paaralan ka, hindi mo naman lubos na naiintindihan ang mga titik ng awit. Tinandaan mo ito mula lang sa tunog. Para kang nagsaulo ng Kpop. Tama lamang na linawin ang pagbigkas upang lubos maintindihan, lalo na ng kabataan.
Sa huling linya, "magmahal" o "mamatay" (o iba pa)?
Buong linya: "Aming ligaya na 'pag may mang-aapi ang _____ ng dahil sa'yo."
Hindi maganda ang mensaheng ibinibigay ng:
"... ang mamatay ng dahil sa'yo" - ang bansa ang dahilan ng kamatayan mo?
"... ang mamatay para sa'yo" - Mas mahalagang mabuhay ka para sa bayan. Huwag susuko sa buhay dahil sa anumang kadahilanan.
"... ligaya na 'pag may mang-aapi ang magmahal ng dahil sa'yo" - Oo, sige, positibo pero may manlulupig na, hindi ka pa rin papalag?
Ang mungkahi ko, "lumaban para sa'yo" o anumang katumbas nito.
"Aming ligaya na 'pag may mang-aapi ang lumaban para sa'yo."
Gayunpaman, sabi nga ni Ginoong Ayala, ito ay labag sa batas, anti-constitutional. Ang gawang ito ay upang lalong maging epektibong pagkakatawan ang awit sa bayan.
Ayan, ang tatlong sentimo ko. Salamat sa pagbasa't pag-intindi.
Gdon De Leon Hindi naman s'ya nagtatalino talinohan sariling opinion n'ya iyon at besides tama naman lahat ng sinabi n'ya...matanong kita alin ba ang mali doon?
Agree sa tatlong punto mo sir.
Ang pambansang awit, katulad ng pambansang sagisag hindi dapat binabago. Maganda ang mungkahi ni ginoong Joey Ayala subalit ang mungkahi niya, katulad ng ilang mga nauna sa kanya, ay batay sa kani-kanilang panlasa; na hindi naman maaring sang-ayunan ng lahat.
may dahilan bakit iyan ang letra, bakit iyan paraan mg pag awit sa lupang hibirang. hindi naman tayo nabuhay ng mga panahong inililimbag ang titik musika nito.
The line "ang mamatay ng dahil sayo" means how patriotic we are in our very own land. Nothing's really wrong with the lyrics the lyrics itself shows the love we can give to our land.
No it shouldn't be revised. Pwede yung tempo pero wag yung dulong part. Nakalimutan ni Joey Ayala yung buong phrase...
"Aming ligaya na pag may mang aapi, ang mamatay nang dahil sa'yo".
This is a statement of patriotism.
Ligaya mong mamatay nang lumalaban para sa iyong Inang Bayan.
Instead of revising the lyrics of the song, why not make it as one of history topics sa school, yung paghimay himayin yung phrases ng lupang hinirang para mas namnamin ng bawat estudyante yung pagkanta.
Ang pumatay ng dahil sayo dapat, techinically speaking a struggling country because of foreign repression has no real use of dead people with live enemies. The goal would be is to kill our enemies and make them die for their country instead. Sa boot camp, we are not trained to die and allowed to die unless ofcourse if given the order to do so, but its an overstatement but nonetheless gives us idea of how it's supposed to work. we salute this hymn every monday and friday during garrison and we are always reminded jokingly by our CG here in mindanao to make not do the last lyrics hehe.
Nakalimutan niya?
Joey Ayala who knows the structures of the music behind the anthem, you assumed he forgot that part?
I commend your ignorance tho. 💁
Agree with you...
@@kingpatwreckkk6194 no pre, yung nakalmutan nya ung buong meaning ng phrase na yon. Hindi yung technicalities ng music. Joey Ayala is no doubt an expert in music, pero that doesn't mean his opinion about changing the last part of the song is right. Ang last line kasi na yon, nagpapahiwatig na kung may kalaban = mangaapi, handa kang mamatay para sa iyong bayan.
@@renegadusunidos6151 ang mamatay ng dahil sayo ay general term. People who die for their country in nonviolent revolution or nonviolent defense against invasion or nonviolent defense of a nation-state's stated values, democracy, human rights, the rule of law, etc, against erosions and usurpations of the same.
Hindi ibig sabihn puro patayan at suicide.
the tempo is better this way. the phrasing din. pero medyo di ako benta sa pagpalit ng lyric. masaya lang ung group hug after... haha
Yeah I guess the "ang mamatay ng dahil sayo" pertains to the soldiers who died for independence? I'm not sure, I'm not Julian Felipe xD
Group hug is okay mate; game ako diyan hahaha 🤣 pero ang palitan yong ang mamatay ng dahil saiyo, baka dumanak dugo sa senado lol hahaha
Ang mamatay ng dahil sa patukoY ito Kay gat .Jose rizal ayaw
@@miah2011 NO IT WAS/IS (PROGRESSIVE) THEN AND THE GENERATIONS TO COME (FUTURE) THAT EVERY FILIPINO SHOULD DIE TO DEFEND( FOR) HIS MOTHERLAND! PAG HINI HINGI NG PAG KAKATAON!
I guess Joey Ayala's motif was to make nationalism relevant to today's time. Mainly maybe because genuine nationalism nowadays has been long forgotten.
User 1 tama po kayo.
maron paring iba
i guess that genuine nationalism has just changed overtime, since when we made our national anthem as a march, we still had feelings radiating from our spanish oppressors. today's it is much more peaceful, moreso that we change it to that count
I'M CRYING...AND THIS COMMENT MAKES ME CRY MORE....ALAM NYO HINDI TALAGA MAINTINDIHAN NG TAO ANG HALAGA NG NATIONAL ANTHEM PERO SANA TALAGA MAINTINDIHAN
sadly.. totoo..
I love the way you attack the melody and strike the notes of each line...much more the so called "Pagbigkas" ng words.. At ang universal and powerful word ...that is to Love...sana may kalayaan tyong mga Pilipino to sing it as long as it is sung soulfully...Mabuhay ka Sir
sarap kantahin ng pambansang awit kung ganyan. ramdam na ramdam ang mensahe.
It sounded like Kundiman, a real Filipino Music.. A love song, my country's love song.. that's how it sounded like. I cried a tear as I listen to every word and hymn. Thank you Mr. Joey A. for sharing with us a glimpse of what you believe is beautiful and what you felt that was love, genuine love for our country...
HHHMMMMMM, PAPANSIN LANG SIYA IKUKUNDIMAN MO, EH ANTHEM YAN, HINDI YAN KUNDIMAN AT ALL! MAY PURPOSE KUNG BAKIT GANYAN ANG ARRANGEMENT NG ANTHEM NA YAN!
Do not change the last part dahil pag binago yon parang pinagsawalang bahala natin yung ginawa ng ating ninuno for us, and it's a way of reminding every Pilipino na masayang mamatay habang pinagtatanggol mo ang bayan mo♥️ ang kaylangan lang mabago yung way ng pronounciation.
di po masaya mamatay sorry po pero ikaw nalang po wag na kami hehe
HUWAG PAKIALAMAN AT ALL!
PA PANSIN LANG YANG MAMANG YAN!
This is my own opinion on his take.
I love this version of how the National Anthem should be sang but I think "ang mamatay ng dahil sa'yo" is much more nationalistic for me. I think dying for our country also is an act of love.
It is, but are you willing?
@@siem9329 Yes, I am.
@@enaira5200 lol
Why would you lay down your life for the country?
@FeelingGamer whut?? Would you just answer my question. The song was written when we were still under the colonization of USA.
The way it's sung - emphasizing the right connection of phrases regardless its usual meter and rhythm - had moved me so much. It made me boost my patriotism.. This is one thing that can make you say you're proud of being a Filipino.
The way he sung our anthem is full of soul.
.
Too bad it's literally against the constitution.
This version makes sense especially with the changes in the phrasing and the meter. It's refreshing, too. I would like to hear an orchestration of this and a rendition by the Philippine Madrigal Singers, too. I have a renewed appreciation and desire to sing our National Anthem in this new form. Good job Joey A.!
"You'll never sing our National Anthem the same way again."
Maraming salamat, Mr. Joey Ayala.
As I sang with you, I was literally moved into tears. I remember all our heroes, those in the past who have died for us just to give my beloved country political independence; and those in the present who have continuously lived for this nation's families in order to give them financial independence.
KAYO LANG YON HINDI LAHAT NG MGA FILIPINO!
Really loved the change of tempo and the vibe of it it sounds like something we can sing after all the hardships pain and suffering that we have been through. But changing the lyrics of "ang mamatay ng dahil sayo" to "ang magmahal ng dahil sayo" is a big NO. That line makes us remember what our country has been through all of the soldiers that fought for our freedom.
But songs aren't how we record history, we do that with books and museums, and the like. Songs are for sending messages. So even if we change the song, we wouldn't necessarily forget the martyrs of our history. And a message of love not war is a much better message in my opinion.
First time in a very long time I actually felt proud of being a Filipino...that was a very heartfelt rendition of our National Anthem. I cried a little.

This is the National Anthem he was singing. The audience should be standing up.
technically it wasn't. The Heraldric law only allows the one and only arrangement as THE national anthem. Standing for this song would make it illegal.

Wow so may nagadopt n pla ng tempo nito. Yes me too I like the kundiman tempo of Mr. JA, but I don't agree in changing the mamatay into magmahal.
I like how the song was sung.. But I don't like changing the last phrase because it's perfect the way it is already

I love the way Joey Ayala rearranged and sung our beloved national anthem Lupang Hinirang. The spirit and the emotions that come with it made me feel proud and empowered as a Filipino. Gusto ko na tuloy manapak ng mga nang-aapi sa mga Pilipino kahit ikamatay ko pa!
On the other hand, I'd rather not change anything in the lyrics but if I would have to it would be the last part and i'd write it as "...ang mamatay nang para sa''yo". The word "para" would highlight the intention and willingness of the Filipino to die for his beloved country.
I am an American married to a Filipina. I also happen to think the Philippines National Anthem SOUNDS better than The Star Spangled Banner. Leave this one alone. DO NOT change it.
William Jones i agree. there are so many things that need to be changed in the Philippines but this is not one of them.
@@Georgia1981 it will never be changed...there is a lesson behind in all of this.

Ilang taon na, naiiyak parin ako kapag pinapanood ko to.. tumatayo ang mga balahibo ko,. Maraming salamat ginoong joey ayala. Ituturo ko ito sa mga anak ko, dahil kundi ito, isa ito sa pinakamagandang kantang napagtanto ko sa buhay ko. Muli salamat sa'yo.
Mas Akma ang orihinal na rendisyon ng lupang hinirang sa mga rebolusyonaryong namatay para sa bayan, patunay dito ang huling litanya ng kanta "Ang mamatay ng dahil sayo". Pero kung karaniwang tao ka lamang, hindi mo naman gugustuhin mamatay para sa iba sa sitwasyon ng bansa natin ngayon diba? Kontemporaryong musikero si Joey Ayala kaya niya binago ang huling litanya ng awit, sa panahon ngayon, mas mabuting magmahal sa kapwa kaysa sa makibaka at pumatay kahit na para sa ikabubuti ito. Napaka ganda ng intro ng rendisyon ni Joey Ayala!
conan detective nang dahil sayo o ng dahil sayo
Yun!
Isa so gat. Jose rizal
KUNDIMAN? SORRY!
Let's not stick to tradition merely Fir the sake of sticking to tradition. What a huge difference correct phrasing makes in allowing meaning to shine through.
The poetry and the passion of the lyrics can be better appreciated with this arrangement.
WHAT IS WRONG PHRASING? ANG MAY MALI YONG KUMAKANTA!, NATUTO LANG NAMAN ANG KARAMIHAN SA PAG SUNOD SA PAG KANTA DI NAMAN FORMAL NA PINAG ARALAN PAANO KANTAHIN!
Ive never appreciated the mational anthem until ive heard this version.. for the first time ive understood and appreciated each word of the lyrics😊 genius mabuhay ka sir joey ayala
i appreciate his opinion on the pronunciation, but i don't agree on changing the "Ang Mamatay ng Dahil Sayo". it has a deeper meaning, it means that we can sacrifice/fight for our country.
Why never appreciated? Another edgy millenial?
@@bulk_manifesto3624 because of the meaning being obscured in the tempo and not everyone in the Philippines has Tagalog as their first language.
it was along time since my last music lesson... i reckon this is a creative lecture on musicality keeping with the dynamism of patriotism.
among the many points that he made, what struck me most was his presentation on the last verse on this great song. when the anthem was originally created, to die for the country was what was heroic to do. i believe JOEY AYALA hit it in the eye when he suggests that to be nationalist now means to be positive in all things that matter, citing OFWs' love for country and family drive our kababayans to find better luck overseas, thus the phrase "ang magmahal ng dahil sa iyo"...
There's the bigger possibility, JOEY AYALA's genius shall again be underplayed, unfortunately, by the people in the NCCA for the simple reason that some "nationalists" tend to be really rigid on their rules. Nonetheless, i want to believe that i am among the many who RESPECT AYALA's love for the country and his musical prowess....
i mind though that the audience did not stand while the anthem was sung.... however, i might not have stood up myself if i was in the audience... given the circumstance, i might have forgotten to do so because of awe to what was transpiring onstage....
simply GREAT!!!
Liked everything except changing the last part. That line touches me in a different way. 🇵🇭
Ang pagmamahal sa bayan Hindi iisang kulay, hindi lamang pula, dilaw, asul o puti.
Purihin ang tama at punahin ang mali ng sinumang nakaupo sa gobyerno. Tayo dapat ay maging malawak ang kaisipan na hindi perpekto ang kahit anong administrasyon.
Ngunit may ilang prinsipyo na hindi negotiable: ang pagrespeto sa konstitusyon; ang pagtaguyod ng Human Rights; ang pagtatakwil sa katiwalian.
Nawa ay maisabuhay nang bawat bawat titik ng ating pambansang awit. Sang-ayon din ako kay Joey Ayala, hindi kailangan mamatay, kailangan magmahal para sa bayan!!!
Ang ibig sabihin nang (ang mamatay nang dahil sayo)
Ay
Kaya nyang ibuwis ang buhay para sa bayan.
Di paren pwedeng baguhin.
Idol
Ang magmahal ng dahil sayo
Aming ligaya ng pag may mang aapi ang magmahal ng dahil sayo. Make sense,dahil
Mahal mo bayan mo pag lalaban mo.. gets mo ? Gets mo ba?
Sakto
a grim reminder sa mga mamamayan na nagbuwis ng buhay nila para sa pagmamahal nila sa bayan, where would we be now kung wala yung mga nagrevulto? probably an annex of another country, and not independent Philippines
tas nacompose ito around the time of war.. a time when nationalism will truly be tested
hays...puso at dugo nila nasa lyrics
they were willing to die for the land where the people resided
(in this day and age) he could be an example of nationalistic people who truly love their country and is willing to fight and die for the land and people... president Duterte
meh... di naman mababago anyways
@@gandam10 Nonsense. Nsaan sa lyrics yung ipaglalaban don? Gets mo ba kagustuhan mo
Galing mo talaga Sir Joey. Palagay ko pag ginawang legal 'to mas ma i inspire ang mga bata na kantahin to sa flag ceremony.
kaya nga! mas kakantahin talaga natin to ng buong puso!
Imtelligent way of singing our Pambansang Awit💞💖💕Thank you Mr Joey Ayala!!!
I think his rendition of the National Anthem was an "eye opener" for all of us Filipinos. We sing the National Anthem not knowing its context, its meaning. We tend to ignore these small details because many of us do not know it. That is also one reason why majority tend to suddenly skip a verse, skip a part of the anthem. I definitely agree with him, change the melody, correct the pronunciation. Ending the song with a positive vibe is also a good idea, but then the context of to live and die for the country would then be changed. To think that he had the guts to create a different rendition of the National Anthem was awesome, but to do this in public? Phenomenal. Considering that it is illegal. Goodjob! *damn goosebumps
To all that is in favor of changing it think it twice! If your reason is you do not understand it i say sing it loudly and whole heartedly! Read our own history then prove me wrong if you cannot understand it still. Its war out there! Its our people that being thread upon so we need to enliven the spirit. Kundiman song doesn't have that appeal, it tends us to hide in the dark and cling on our pain. Inaapi ka na magmamahal ka pa? Ironic that is!
No two or more people can feel and think identically. For me our national anthem is sacred as it is . It is not like song hits that easily come and go according the mood at hand.
"Ang mamatay nang dahil sayo" ang pinaka magandang part ng Lupang Hinirang
I agree

Duyan ng magiting
Tama lang na Ang mamatay ng dahil sayo. Kasi buhay ay langit sa piling mo.
TAMA
Sa’y pantalos ko, duga met ya pinanbago to so “sa mamatay” Ed “sa magmahal dahil Sayo.” In my opinion it conveys HEALING. I like his changes.
Sir Joey do not mean to diminish the role of our martyrs but merely a suggestion. And he by all mean did a very good job by stressing the errors in singing the national anthem which are commonly set aside. May this teach us that the National Anthem is not just a song but our identity as a people, country and most specially democracy.
naiyak ako shet.. ngayon lang ako napaluha sa national anthem natin.. galing.
ay, ako tuwing aawitin ko, lagi talaga akong naluluha
e kung ano-ano siguro iniintindi n'yo na walang saysay
NAKAKAIYAK NAMAN, PERO BINAGO NIYA GINAWA NIYANG KUNDIMAN, ANTHEM YAN DI YUAN KUNDIMAN. DI AKO AGREE SA PAG BAGO NIYA!
never gets tired of watching this! Thank Joey Ayala and TEDx Talks. Joey Ayala talks more and beyond Lupang Hinirang here.
Joey's rendition made me tearful because it brought this beautiful poetry into a new light, I would like to invite Joey on the next Independende Day Celebration of our town so that our towns people will get to hear this more powerful version
Sana yung mga ganito kaimportanteng note ang pagtuunan ng mga "CONGRESSMAN". No sir, this isn't illegal, this is patriotism. :) BOW!
Pambansang awit ng Pilipinas, napaka-ganda....Sa mga nanood, wala man lang tumayo at nag bigay galang...
I know that we used to sing Lupang Hinirang when we were young, Singing it wholeheartedly while standing beneath the sun, hand on our chest and often times we got goosebumps whilst singing this because of its patriotic vibe that this song brought to us.
However, I'm strongly believe that the ending of Lupang Hinirang should not revise because that line means a lot to us, the metaphor and its meaning remain historic and patriotic.
Maligayang Araw ng Kalayaan sa susunod na mga Araw. Mabuhay ang Pilipinas! 🇵🇭
The phrasing makes the anthem more understandable. I personally like Joey Ayala's version.
e di magsama kayong dalawa na magpaka-bugok

i think your an old sucks person hahaha cant mingle to the modern time ^o^ Good luck old man hahahaha
Samuel Jr. Baldado just reading your comment alone makes me think that you are the one who's "bugok" :) after all it takes one to know one :)

Wow it was sung wonderfully... feel na feel ang essence... for our country the words are well pronounced... Touchy tung ang magm❤hal ng dahil sa 'yo
This should be shared. Thumbs up for this. Congratulations.
Ansarap kantahin after mawala ng covid 😭❤️ Ingat tayong lahaaat! ❤️
Lupang Hinirang
Duyan ka ng magiting...holds true to this day.
Our country...the Philippines is a "Land of Heroes".
For me, the last line na " Ang mamatay ng dahil sayo" can mean two things, this just how I interpret the last line. I don't know what the writter originally intended to convey but for me this is what he was saying.
It can mean that handa tayong ibigay ang lahat pati ang ating sariling buhay para sa ating lupang sinilangan, ang pilipinas. And what I mean by "buhay" is hindi lang literal na buhay kundi yung ating life style we can change our life style para sa interest ng buong pilipinas. By changing the bad practices.
And the second interpretation is for the people who are willing to sell our independence, our very own country in exchange for their own interest. Para sa mga taong trumaydor sa pilipinas at sa mga pilipino, sa mga taong nag nakaw sa mga mahihirap na pilipino sa mga pumaptay sa kultura ng mga pilipino sa mga nakakalimot sa pinanggalingan, sa mga taong sumira sa kinabukasan ng kabataan, sa mga tao na sumisira sa kalikasan, para sa mga taong nakakalimutan ng ipagdasal ang pilipinas, sa mga taong nag balewala sa totoong minsahe ng lupang hinirang.
"Ang mamatay ng dahil sayo"
Yan ang huling linya ng pilipinas bago siya bawian ng buhay.
wow, perfect version and accompaniment. galing pgkadeliver yung lyrics. emphasize talaga. the living legend joey ayala... thank you very very very much.... group huggggg.... hehe.
"Ang mamatay ng dahil sayo" di na kailngan plitan....panahon ng gera isinulat yan....it shows patriotism......handang mamatay para sa bayan .....pero salute to you sir...swabeng swabe ang pag pronounce mo sa bawat lyrics......ang sarap pakinggan...
Marahil malagim ang dating ng mga katagang "Ang mamatay nang dahil say iyo" ngunit mas gusto ko pa din ito kaysa sa binanggit ni Ka-Joey na "Ang magmahal nang dahil sa iyo". Sure, the latter suggestion is cute but the original words preserve the sacredness and essence as to why the hymn was written in the first place. Bagong laya noon ang Pilipinas. Ipinapahiwatig sa Lupang Hinirang ang nag-aalab na nasyonalismo at pagdiriwang ng kalayaan na katumbas ng dugo at pawis ng mga bayani ng nakalipas. Kalayaan na ti-netake natin for granted ngayon - katulad na lang ng pagkanta natin kung minsan sa awiting ito.
Kudos to this talk for reminding everyone the respect the National Anthem ought to deserve. (May TED pala sa Pilipinas. Nice!) But in my humble opinion, the original final lines were just fine.
+Rey Mark Galiza
I prefer the "ang mamatay nang dahil sa'yo" too. This death doesn't really have to be physical or in the literal sense, but to die in one's selfish interests. Forget oneself and live for the Philippines. Yes, that could also be "Ang magmahal nang dahil sa'yo" because to love is to fight for what is true and right, which is to preserve the country's interests. However, it just doesn't fit the line it succeeded: Aming ligaya na 'pag may mang-aapi...
Ang alanganin 'di ba kapag sinabing, "Aming ligaya na 'pag may mang-aapi, ang MAGMAHAL nang dahil sa'yo"?
Rey Mark Galiza Nationalism really sparks when it feels right like? Let's see that phrase of yours in action then. How long do I have to wait?
Naging identity na ng mga Filipino ang hindi umaatras sa laban kahit pa sa binggit ng kamatayan.
Noong World War 2, within a few days, bagsak na agad yung mga colonies ng ex-super power na Great Britain. Samantalang yung Bataan ay inabot ng ilang buwan.
Sa Korean War, ganun din. Nagtakbuhan yung ilang nationalities against the onslaught of overwhelming Chinese forces pero yung mga ninuno natin, they held their ground.
Kung papalitan natin yung 'mamatay' ng 'magmahal' a positive trait that we Filipinos are known for (a tenacious fighting heart) will be replaced with a negative trait: cowardice.
Dying for your country to preserve its freedom has always been positive versus loving your country's enemy and collaborating with its invaders.
I think Mr. Ayala's message through his rendition of our National Anthem has a deeper meaning. Gusto ba natin talagang maging malambot tayo pagdating sa ating mga manlulupig?
agree with u sir, ang pagkakaintindi ko rin is pag meron tyong ipinagtatanggol o idinidepensa dba sinasabi natin over my dead body na hndi nman ibig sabihin magpapakamatay tyo, which means na itataya mo ang buhay mo hanggang kamatayan.
Agree. Ginawa kasi to nung labanan kaya ipinahihiwatig nito ang history ng mga taong binuwis ang buhay para sa bayang sinilangan natin.
i guess julian felipe is smiling at this man for making a different style of this. It really reminded me of when our church made a different version of amazing grace.
LaMusicero Jose Palma too. :)
well the "diff. style" of this song is not just about the aesthetics
I love the way Joey sings this anthem. more profound, more meaningful, not in a hurry, with feelings. I love it.
THE ANTHEM WAS MADE IN HOPE OF FREEDOM AGAINST TYRANNY. EVEN THE ISRAELITES USED WAR SONGS.
@@geminigemini3276 what kind of feelings?
THE ORIGINAL WAS MADE IN THE BURNING PASSION FOR FREEDOM.
Ba't ngayon ko lang to napakingan??? Sobrang ganda at mas klaro yung pagbigkas ng mga salita.. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ang matino na leader at may tunay na pagmamahal sa bayan ay magkakainterest na irevise ng ganito ang national anthem. Kaso karamihan walang pakialam. Mabuhay ka Joey Ayala!
i will still go for "mamatay" than "magmahal". To die for our country is still like loving for our country. Thus it has a lot of meaning. Like honoring our country. I think "mamatay" is still the appropriate word. :)
Ang galing, it started with 4/4 turned 3/4, then back to 4/4. it captured the emotion of the lyrics.
How nostalgic while he sang the song... take me back to those memory of mine in the past...
Para sa'kin ha..mali ang pagkakaintindi natin ng last na "ang mamatay ng dahil sa'yo" guys pinuputol kasi natin, kung maalala natin halos lahat kun di man lahat na mga national anthem ay nagpapakita ng loyalty, courage, at love sa kanilang country, example sa US "the land of the free and the home of the brave. sa South korea may lyrics na "With this spirit and this mind, give all loyalty, in suffering or in joy, love the country." Sa atin ganito "aming ligaya ng pag may man-aapi, ang mamatay ng dahil sa'yo". Di tayo maligaya pag may nang-aapi, maligaya tayo na mamatay para sa bayan kung sakaling may mang-aapi, at sa salitang maligaya, hindi yun kasiyahan, ibig sabhin ng maligaya sa lyrics eh taos puso nating tatanggapin ang mamatay para sa bayan. Example: "Maligaya akong tanggapin ang hamon mo." Ayon, sana malinawan kayo at masyadong literal kung mag translate ang iba sa atin...
Actually its "Aming Ligaya NA pag may mang-aapi. However, the song does give a pessimistic feel, as if the only way to find elation during invaders is to die. The song tells the cultural environment during the revolutionary days, where being a patriot is a death sentence.
in the original Spanishm the last two lines go like this.
"Es una gloria para tus hijos,
Cuando de ofenden, por ti morir."
It is a glory for your children,
when offended, to die for you.
Personally the English version of the Anthem is much more positive.
"Oh, never shall its shining fields
Be dimmed by tyrants might."
Which is the real intent of the anthem, that no tyrant shall dim the light coming from this "Chosen Land."
gilbert paulo Pagapang I only began to understand the national anthem some years ago, when I read the former official English version. The final words are " But it is glory ever, when thou art wronged, For us, thy sons to suffer and die."
Luminaw bigla. Sa Filipino version kasi, lalo na dahil dun sa awkward phrasing and para lang tumugma sa composition, para ngang pessimistic. Di naman ineexplain yung lyrics sa school. Sauluhin ang mga naging crush ni Jose Rizal at mga paborito n'yang libro, sure, intindihin ang national anthem? Nah. Inisip ko na lang na baka ibig sabihin nun, ligaya natin pag yung mang-aapi e mamamatay dahil sa Pilipinas. Imbes na mamatay para sa Pilipinas para ipagtanggol ito sa mang-aapi. So, di lang iisang paraan pwedeng i-misconstrue ng mga bata yang lyrics na yan, pero walang nag-eexplain. At ang dilag pala ganon ang pronunciation, at ang ibig sabihin pala ay "splendor."
Pero sa English, klaro na ang magbibigay ng buhay para sa bayan ay yung anak ng bayan.
Ito din ang aking pag kaka intindi..
Naisip ko rin to kanina while eating lunch for I don't know why and this evening this Tedx pop-uped in my youtube 😂
gilbert paulo Pagapang tama po kayo sa pagexplain pero why it has to be those martyr words that could have martyr script influence. Why can't they be positive inspiring words like those examples you gave. Kayla karamihan sa atin ay mag martyr. Young people are studying to be domestic helpers because they believe and proud to be called heroes. Yes they are heroes but it seems to me Filipinos are convinced that to be heroes is to be martyrs than being innovative. Just being confident and strong discouraged ka agad to be called arrogante. I know not all Filipinos think this way but too many of them do that it seemed to me that it became part of our culture.
Tayong mga pinoy talaga napaka patriotic. Kahit ang hilig natin sa imported brands, sobrang mahal na mahal talaga natin ang Pinas. Ang warm sa heart.
I enjoyed listening to his voice singing our national anthem with clarity and right stress to the words but I think reading comments here was so ughh like 'yung ang kuletttt HAHAHAH
People who wrote negative comments are the ones who can't think outside the box.
outside the box ba? bobo ka ibig sabihin. bakit need mo pa mag-isip outside the box? for what? para kunyari matalino ka at creative. Kelan pa naging significance ng pagiging hindi outside the box thinker ang pagsasabi ng negative comments? Many famous people ang outside the box thinker but still can give negative comments in anything. Wag ka gumawa ng sarili mong facts. BOBO KA.
@@geromecastillon3991 good point bro
gerome castillon Hmmm... Not being able to think outside the box shows how close-minded you are bro. It's not "nagkukunwaring matalino", it's being able to get external thoughts other than your own ideals and knowledge. I hope that clears things out. Have a nice day.
Though I don't like the idea of changing our national anthem. So there's that.
@@dominustempus8969 how about you being close minded to my idea? Isa ka rin feeling open minded.
The ultimate act of patriotism is to give your life for your country. Etong version nia na "Aming ligaya na pag may mang aapi, ang mamagmahal ng dahil sayo" parang hndi na ganun kapatriotic ang meaning.
Imagine mo na lang noong mga panahon ng gyera nung spanish-american/japanese if ganyan ung lyrics ng last line, hndi ko lang alam if maboboost ang morale ng mga pilipino para lumaban at maging meaningful ang sacrifice nila kung sakali bawian sila ng buhay.
The rest, two thumbs up!
I totally agree with Rob' Ramos. The National Anthem was made based on our history as a nation and it will not and must not be revised just to fit in with the new generation. I believe Joey Ayala has the best intention at heart, but he doesn't seem to remember why it was made that way, the music and the lyrics... if the new generation today doesn't understand the lyrics of the song and why it was sang that way, then they must do their research and review their Philippine history.
Thank God someone who knows what a National Anthem must be like!
Corruption is also part of the nations history. So according to your flawed reasoning, corruption SHOULD ALWAYS be part of the Philippines.
tharealworld1 Do you understand YOUR flawed reasoning as well? Please, don't be an idiot, you know that's not what we meant. You're making yourself sound like you can't understand at all.
I believe the changes he wants to impart on the National Anthem is of good intention; the changes doesn't necessarily mean changing the past or the history itself. It just so happen that patriotism nowadays demands a different way of showing it. Somehow following the norms and tradition could limit our potentials. I am speaking in behalf of the millennials and I am speaking in general terms. As our country is coping up with the changes, there are matters we need to develop as well.
Change is good. And change again, doesn't mean forgetting the past.
fibreglass300 I agree
a. The suggestions regarding phrasings are spot on.
b. The suggestion regarding "magmahal" over "mamatay" is shallow. This song is about love of country (lupang hinirang), the country's love for its people ( bayang magiliw), love of independence (paglayang minamahal), victory in war (kislap ng watawat mo'y tagumpay na nagniningning), unceasing yearning for freedom ( araw niya... di magdidilim), the joyful willingness to fight (aming ligaya...) the oppressor and crushers of our dreams (pag may mang-aapi) because the Filipino is brave (duyan ka ng magiting).
c. To "Sharon-ize" and "bading-ize" a classic is to render it meaningless. If we want a national anthem to which we can group hug, I suggest we change our anthem to 'Kumbaya."
👍👏👏👏👏
Lupang hinirang was created in the time of war so it's only natural they'd use the word "mamatay". You can't really change the lines of lupang hinirang because it spoke the hardships Filipinos faced in the times of war.
Very inspiring for us as People of the Phlippines na merong ganitong uri ng pag tuturo at pagbukas sa kamalayan ng mga Pilipino. 💕💕💕
I appreciate the life given by Joey Ayala on our National anthem and he has a carefree spirit concept on the changing of the beat, on how words should have been spoken and even changing one word at the end of the anthem itself. Although I appreciate this bold effort I feel uneasy with how he termed the Filipinos as soft for a marching song and thus "Magmahal" seems suitable to us than "Mamatay". This one word though is what makes us Filipinos- willing to die for a cause... Dying to us is the ultimate form of loving- that is what Lapu-lapu, Rizal up to Ninoy showed us. Hugs are OK but we'd rather hug our loved ones and take the bullet and harm that may come to them to the point of dying... Joey's depiction and understanding of the Filipino Martial Arts is even offending for me as a Filipino Martial Artist, clearly showing that he does not know our martial creed. The entire Martial arts community in the world looks upon the Filipino art of Arnis/Eskrima/Kali as a practical, very confrontational, and very combative art in most aspects. Europe and most of the Western world knows and acknowledge that, most Filipinos are unaware. I don't know what Martial arts he is referring to, but what he showed thru actions/depictions is definitely not FMA (Filipino Martial Arts). Again, my respects to a good singer and talented songwriter but please give due credit to the Bravery of our heritage both in a lyric and in our arts... Pugay!
I agree with you with regard to his remark on martial arts. By the gesture he made, I think he was describing Tai Chi. I have no issues about "lahat tayo bading." I don't care how other people describe Tai Chi (it's been described by a Westerner as being like ballet in a Bruce Lee interview). It's just that Tai Chi is not ours. Obviously, Joey Ayala is not very familiar with Filipino martial arts, which are, as you've said correctly, confrontational and combative. Or maybe he is, but thought that Tai Chi is also Pinoy martial arts. If this is the case, I think Ayala's reference to Tai Chi as our type of martial arts is coming from his belief that we are a loving, romantic, sentimental people. Hence, the change from "mamatay" to "magmahal." And this is in no way condescending.
***** Yes Paul, the power and meaning of every song depends on personal interpretations, and thus is subjective in nature, but the tone and objective translation of the words and totality of it depends on the genre from which it was written. The music was composed in 1898 by Julián Felipe, and the lyrics were adapted from the Spanish poem Filipinas, written by José Palma in 1899. Originally written as incidental music, it did not have lyrics when it was adopted as the anthem of the revolutionary First Philippine Republic and subsequently played during the proclamation of Philippine independence on June 12, 1898
phisofide Hi, that's true, the actions show Tai-chi, and whether Joey knows FMA (Filipino Martial Arts) or not and however he interprets the Filipino heart is his right to interpret, but as an FMA Guro I simply want to correct our martial arts that is less understood by most. Not giving its due will simply further cloud its true meaning ...
Ang magmahal ng dahil sayo is very good ! But this song is ginawa noong panahon ng giyera ng tayo sinakop at maraming pilipino ang nagbuwis ng buhay pra sa kapwa pilipino pra sa kalayaan. "ang mamatay ng dahil sayo" hinde lng basta lyrics.. eto ay history totoong pangyayari na ikinabit sa diwa at puso ng kanta.. na dapat ay hinde maaring kalimutan.. ...kailanman
Noel Aceron boldmll
?i ...a
Tama po
Tama po
The scenario at that time when this song was made was insignificantly futile so basing it to this lyrics " Aming ligaya ng pag may man-aapi, ang mamatay ng dahil sa'yo" was pride. It means willingness of whatever what the possibilities would be.
i've heard this many times already, and this never fail to give me goosebumps 👏🏻 Grabe
Totally makes sense, but it takes more than a song to awaken the patriotism in the heart of every Filipino.
Lahat ng na propose nya na baguhin may sense... Hindi lang ung huling part.. "Ang mamatay ng dahil sayo" ---
I cannot think of a more epic and powerful phrase to signify Filipinos patriotism. Galing pa rin Sir Joey!!!
I'd been reading comments about bashing/commending Sir Ayala's action but please I'd like to point out that he did it because he's a songwriter, a proud filipino,and a positive perspective loving person.
No need to change how the National Anthem must be sung or to change the lyrics. Joey Ayala must have a point but he will never understand the core of every word put into this song to fit into the whole history of the Philippines or the feeling they felt. If the words of our National Anthem is taken literally, then one must give a bias interpretation. Let's respect the people behind this song and do not use the National Anthem for personal gain. What we can do now is to tell our children what the song is all about so they will know the real meaning and they will sing it by heart.
Pinoy Showbiz Latest the changed melody made a lot of meaning. Today’s generation will understand it more clearly. I’d be proud to be part of the generation where the national anthem was given more emotions. I still respect the one who made the original. It does not go away.
The youth or even some old people doesn't understand the national anthem not because of howbit was sung but because of the lack of explanations in the school. The teachers let the students memorize but they never explained what it means. In short Flipinos cannot understand their national anthem because they don't know what it means. Most even cannot memorize even only half of the song. How sad
I think the melody should be change
He made changes to the pauses so the words are more understandable. Even if he changed the ending, it's not a drastic change to where the song has lost its meaning. Patriotism, love for the country, it's all still there.
joey ayala, being a good musician, basically applied polyrithmic pattern into the National Anthem allowing him to sing the lyrics in their full words removing contracted words.
Kahit kelan naluluha ako pag naririnig ko ang Lupang Hinirang. "Ang mamatay ng dahil sa'yo"🇵🇭💓.
I agree with what this person has done....The fact that the way we sing our national anthem seems like we're marching to death...Life today is not the same during world war 1 & 2 and during Spanish times. Maybe we should move on in life and look forward to a brighter and calmer future.
I also believe that our current way of singing this song and also some parts of the lyrics have some psychological effect on us especially to young Filipinos.
Singing a song in a harsh way as if looking for vengeance is not good in my opinion. So in my personal opinion, give this man a cookie and let him change the way Filipinos sing our national anthem.
I agree with what you said. But, scratched my head cause you do not know who "this" person is.
IT IS AN ANTHEM, NOT I REPEAT AN ANTHEM, HINDI SIYA KUNDIMAN, KAYA GANYAN ANG ARRANGEMENT, AN ANTHEM IS A" ROUSING SONG KAYA PARANG MARTSA, MARUNONG PA SIYA SA NAG LIKHA NG ANTHEM" TIMELESS ANG MESSAGE NG ANTHEM!
wow naiyak ako... perfectly done.. love it!
"Ang mamatay ng dahil sayo" are the most and ultimate love of Country. That's Massive
As a member of a choral ensemble, we were taught that in singing, the words should be sung and enunciated the way we would say them as if we are speaking normally; no other than the world renowned Philippine Madrigal Singers express songs in this way. Joey Ayala has done that, and it is much clearer. It's just sad that no one is allowed by law to express the national anthem that deviates from its prescribed, nay, mandated way of singing to the letter. Since music is all about expression which conveys a message, the freedom to express this beautiful song is restricted. Perhaps it is time to review the law.
wow, so many strong opinions. i am a nationalist myself, but i believe this is a breath of fresh air. if you ask teens nowadays if they like our anthem, i'm pretty sure they'll say no. but if they get to listen to this version, they might feel that spark of nationalistic pride that so few possess. we must reach out to the young ones because they will one day lead us. :) and i believe that magmahal and mamatay are equally good words, though very opposite in feel. :)
This is the best version of our national anthem, Lupang Hinirang! But the last line, "ang mamatay ng dahil sa'yo" should stay as it is. Mabuhay ang Pilipinas 🇵🇭
The actual singing starts at 4:28. You're welcome.
No. Better to watch the full discussion
agree
The constant in this world is change...so accept the fact that we need to change for the better...but the thought or the sense of the national anthem is still there so there will be no problem...
Agree.
Agree.....were just upgrading the Anthem..
I love this...
Nakakatuwa si sir...
School na school ang approach and have a great sense...
This is how we should sing our national anthem! Sarap kantahin araw araw! Di tulad ng nakasanayan natin ngayon, parang ayaw natin kantahin.
