On the whole, the sun, the triangle and the three stars that make our flag are Masonic symbols, the Brotherhood of man under the Fatherhood of God.

As our forefathers have dreamed of it, so may it float forever over the land of a happy people.

There flies our flag, an emblem of rare beauty and patriotic meaning.

The constant inspiration of our people for a life of peace, independence and freedom.

Salute it because it is the symbol of the happiness and
felicity of our forefathers and heroes during the centuries gone by;

Kiss it because it is the banner of the brave sons of our Rajah Sulaimans and Maria Claras;

Press it upon your bosom because it is the sacred colors of our country, the Philippines;

Place it in your hearts because it is the symbol of our country that is over us in all our vicissitudes of life;

Love it because it is the fruit and sacrifices of our brothers and heroes who perished for our nation’s cause;

Adore it because it is the living personification of the spirit
of our land of birth;

Venerate it because it is the living mantle that covered the bleeding and mangled bodies of our heroes - dead;

Bless it and dedicate it to God because it is the fruit and
sacrifices of our brothers and heroes who now in eternity rest;

And trust it to the Almighty and to human justice that it be preserved for us, for our children and our children’s children, to glorify and render more holy that those who died for it, might not have died in vain.
