in the tune of Magtanim Ay Di Biro, all together let's sing...
Magtanim ay di biro, maghapong nakayuko,
Di naman makatayo, di naman makaupo.
Sa umaga pagkagising, ay agad iisipin,
Kung saan may patanim, may masarap na pagkain.
Bisig ko'y namamanhid, baywang ko'y nangangawit,
Binti ko'y namimitig, sa pagkababad sa tubig.
Koro:
Halina, halina, mga kaliyag, tayo'y magsipag-unat-unat,
Magpanibago tayo ng lakas, para sa araw ng bukas.
Children's version | Rock version | Choral version | Instrumental with English lyrics

Educational Field Trip: Organic Farm in Batangas, Philippines
Catholic Filipino Academy students, parents and teachers participated in Lakbay-Aral sa Kalikasan (Study Tour with Nature) at Villegas Organic and Hobby Farm Complex, Batangas, Philippines
The Villegas Organic and Hobby (VOHO) Farms hosted almost 80 participants from the Catholic Filipino Academy – consisting mainly of grade school kids including their parents, seven high school students and some pre-school kids – who actively took part in the one-day "Lakbay-Aral sa Kalikasan" on 27 February 2010.
The "Lakbay-Aral sa Kalikasan" was purposely designed to immerse young students on living things, sustainable environment and organic agriculture (which they have limited exposure to in the city) and to make their learning experience fun, memorable and exciting.
Mr. Pablito Villegas, Dr. Isagani Catedral and Ms. Dinah Rose Pizarro facilitated the study tour program, providing outdoor hands-on learning on earthworms and their value in promoting sustainable environment, soil and its types, culinary and medicinal plants, and the inter-relationships of worms-soil-plants, demonstrated in a sustainable/environment-friendly farm and ecological balance through the maintenance of biodiversity and employment of zero waste management practices, as exemplified by the VOHO Farms. The students also enjoyed hands-on fishing, running after free-range chickens and playing in the tree house and "bahay-kubo" (indigenous Filipino house), thereby enriching their eco-experience and enhancing their appreciation for nature.
After the educational field tour, as part of their commencement activity, high school students were introduced to Organic Gardening 101. On the other hand, grade school kids planted fruit tree seedlings and prepared dedication cards to their tree. A five-year old girl wrote on her tree: "I will save papers so you can live long." This concluding session intended to instill in the students their valuable role in protecting the environment and to leave in them a memorable experience to share with their friends and family.
The recently passed Organic Agriculture Act of 2010 clearly mandates the inclusion of organic agriculture curriculum in all levels of the Philippine educational system. The remarkable success of the study tour program (educational field trip) last Saturday was a step toward promoting the sustainable environment and organic agriculture in the schools and its community or constituents.
