omg ghandee - - nakalimutan ko na yon ah.. yun ba yung ‘panatang makabayan’?
Iniibig ko ang Pilipinas
Ito ang aking lupang sinilangan
Ito ang tahanan ng aking lahi
Ako’y kanyang kinukupkop at tinutulungan
Upang maging malakas, maligaya at kapakipakinabang
Bilang ganti, diringgin ko ang payo ng aking mga magulang
Susundin ko ang mga tuntunin ng aking paaralan
Tutuparin ko ang mga tungkulin ng isang mamamayang makabayan at masunurin sa batas
Paglilingkuran ko ang aking bayan nang walang pag-iimbot at ng buong katapatan
Sisikapin kong maging isang tunay na pilipino
sa isip, sa salita, at sa gawa.

Ako ay nangangakong magtatapat
Sa watawat ng Pilipinas
At sa republikang kanyang kinakatawan—
Isang bansang pinapatnubayan ng Diyos, buo at di mahahati,
Na may kalayaan at katarungan para sa lahat.

inang chuva, may REVISED version na po ng Panatang Makabayan. Heto po:
Iniibig ko ang Pilipinas,
Aking lupang sinilangan,
Tahanan ng aking lahi,
Kinukupkop ako at tinutulungang
Maging malakas, masipag at marangal.
Dahil mahal ko ang Pilipinas,
Diringgin ko ang payo
Ng aking magulang,
Susundin ko ang tuntunin ng paaralan,
Tutuparin ko ang tungkulin
Ng mamamayang makabayan:
Naglilingkod, nag-aaral at nagdarasal
Nang buong katapatan.
Iaalay ko ang aking buhay,
Pangarap, pagsisikap
Sa bansang Pilipinas.
personally, mas gusto ko pa rin yung una. lalo na yung linyang “Sisikapin kong maging isang tunay na Pilipino: sa isip, sa salita, at sa gawa.”
