“The Creation”, “Malakas and Maganda”

“A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin, and culture is like a
tree without roots.”

There is a famous Filipino proverb (salawikain or sawikain) which goes, “Ang taong hindi
marunong tumingin sa pinanggalingan, hindi makakarating sa paroroonan.” This proverb highlights how
important it is for an individual to acknowledge and understand his/her roots or origins.

Listen to the song, “Tayo’y mga Pinoy”, composed by Heber Bartolome, which was first performed by his
group, Bayuhay, in 1978 during the first Metro Manila Popular Music Festival. Examine the lyrics of the
song, and then answer Activity 1 in Activity Sheet on page 4.

Tayo’y Mga Pinoy

Tayo’y mga Pinoy, tayo’y hindi Kano

‘Wag kang mahihiya kung ang ilong mo ay pango

Dito sa Silangan ako isinilang

Kung saan nagmumula ang sikat ng araw
Ako ay may sariling kulay: kayumanggi
Ngunit hindi ko maipakita tunay na sarili

Kung ating hahanapin ay matatagpuan

Tayo ay may kakanyahang dapat na hangaan
Subalit nasaan ang sikat ng araw
Ba’t tayo ang humahanga doon sa Kanluran

Bakit kaya tayo ay ganito?

Bakit nanggagaya, mayro’n naman tayo
Tayo’y mga Pinoy, tayo’y hindi Kano
‘Wag kang mahihiya kung ang ilong mo ay pango

Dito sa Silangan, tayo’y isinilang

Kung saan nagmumula ang sikat ng araw
Subalit nasaan ang sikat ng araw
Ba’t tayo ang humahanga doon sa Kanluran

Bakit kaya tayo ay ganito?

Bakit nanggagaya, mayro’n naman tayo
Tayo’y mga Pinoy, tayo’y hindi Kano
‘Wag kang mahihiya kung ang ilong mo ay pango

Mayro’ng isang aso, daig pa ang ulol

Siya’y ngumingiyaw, hindi tumatahol
2
 Katulad ng iba, painglis-inglis pa
Na kung pakikinggan, mali-mali naman
‘Wag na lang

Mayro’ng isang aso, daig pa ang ulol

Siya’y ngumingiyaw, hindi tumatahol
Katulad ng iba, painglis-inglis pa
Na kung pakikinggan, mali-mali naman

‘Wag na, oy oy Oy, ika’y Pinoy

Oy, oy, ika’y Pinoy
