BICOL REGIONAL MARCH

Lyrics: Francisco B. Bulalacao Jr.

Music: Paul Francis L. Padillo

Hail! dear beloved Bicolandia

Home of the Virgin of Penafrancia

Renowned for Pilinut and Sili

From dawn to dusk we’re singing our praise to thee

II

Verdant plains, sparkling rivers and seas

Hills and mountains, trees adorned

From the shores across the seas

Oh! Nature’s gifts to thee abound

(Refrain)

Bicolandia! Bicolandia!Our native land, behold!

Albay, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur

Catanduanes, Masbate, Sorsogon

Cities of Iriga, Naga, Ligao, Legazpi

Tabaco, Sorsogon and Masbate

Abode of noble heroes, land of the free

Oh! Mt. Mayon is watching over thee

(Coda)

Bicolandia! Bicolandia!

The home of the “Oragons”

Fearless warriors, bold yet plain

To truth and dignity we give in

(Repeat Coda)

Rit: to truth and dignity we give in.
