The flag waves quietly and slowly br Together with the gentle breeze br And more than a hundred years of existence br Many things it was able to witness br br It began with the solemn pre-invasion period br And shifted to fast verse of colonization br Again it slowed during the search for peace br And had modern music on the age where technology rules br br The plume and paper of novels of Rizal br The bolo and swords of Bonifacio and Aguinaldo br And paper and pens of modern students br Served as accompaniment to the mysterious harmonybr br james ivan almalvezbr br
