" We were a Filipino-American Church "

" Announcement "

August 28 was the last day of service at Maranatha International Baptist Church, Pastor Paul is moving to Oklahoma to Pastor the Philippine International Baptist Church in Moore City which is 20 minutes away from Oklahoma International Airport. His Installation Service will be on October 30, 2005. Please pray for Ptr Paul as he makes this big step in his ministry. The remaining members of the church decided not to call a Pastor anymore but rather will join a church that they are now going with Pastor Paul here in CA. Our fellow Filipinos are being neglected in the Mid-West in terms of the ministry among our Kababayans.

God Bless and thank you for all who had been a part of the church, continue to serve the Lord in the church He'll put you in!!

Panatang Makabayan
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 ng
walang pag-iimbot at ng buong katapatan.
Sisikapin kong maging isang tunay
na Pilipino sa isip, sa salita at sa gawa.

(English Version)

I love the Philippines

This is the land of my birth
This is the home of my race.
I am watched over
And being helped by her
To be strong, happy,
And useful.
In return, I will listen
To the advice of my parents.
I will obey the rules and regulations
Of my school.
I will carry out the responsibility
of a nationalist
and follow the laws.
I will serve my country unselfishly
and with all honesty.
I will try to be a true Filipino,
in my thoughts, in my words,
and in my actions.

National Anthem of the Philippines

(Filipino Version) "Lupang Hinirang"
Composed by Julian Felipe on June 12, 1898

Bayang magiliw, perlas ng silanganan.
Alab ng puso, sa dibdib mo'y buhay.
Lupang hinirang, duyan ka ng magiting
Sa manlulupig, di ka pasisiil.

Sa dagat at bundok, sa simoy at
sa langit mong bughaw,
may dilag ang tula at awit
sa paglayang minamahal.

Ang kislap ng watawat mo'y
tagumpay na nagniningning.
Ang bituin at araw niya
kailan pa may di magdidilim.

Lupa ng araw, ng lualhati't pagsinta,
buhay ay langit sa piling mo.
Aming ligaya na pag may mang-aapi,
ang mamatay ng dahil sa iyo.

(English Version)

The Philippine National Anthem

"Beloved Country"
by Camilo Osias and A. L. Lane

Land of the morning, child of the sun returning,
With fervor burning, thee do our souls adore.
Land dear and holy, cradle of noble heroes,
Ne'er shall invaders, trample thy sacred shore.

Even within thy skies and through thy clouds,
And o'er thy hills and sea.
Do we behold the radiance,
Feel the throb of glorious liberty.

Thy banner, dear to all our hearts,
Its sun and stars alight.
O, never shall its shining field,
Be dimmed by tyrant's might!

Beautiful land of love, O land of light,
In thine embrace 'tis rapture to lie.
But it is glory ever, when thou art wronged,
For us, thy sons, to suffer and die.
