ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 122 -
AUTHORIZING THE TEACHING IN PHILIPPINE SCHOOLS OF THE SONG, "MAGTANIM
AY DI BIRO" WITH THE NEW LYRICS
WHEREAS, the song, "Magtanim ay di Biro",
has long been part of the country's pastoral tradition, a tune familiar
to Filipinos of all ages;
WHEREAS, this song has permeated the national psyche with its message
of constant toil in the face of adversity, of poverty and nearly
unbreakable cycle of rural impoverishment and other negative
connotations that must be overcome by dint of hard labor in the farm;
WHEREAS, the lyrics of this song should be transformed to de-emphasize
these negative traits and discouraging conditions of Philippine rural
life and make such lyrics harmonize with the new work ethic and
positive character of the Filipino people.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH EJERCITO ESTRADA, President of the Republic
of the Philippines, by virtue of the powers vested in me by law, do
hereby order and direct:
Section 1.
Sec. 2.
DONE in the City of Manila,
this 10th day of May, in the year of Our Lord, Two Thousand.
