Now is the time
Our moment sublime!
For so long our heroes and villains alike
Push our pride on the hike
Our insignia of light between red and blue
Feel what our banner wants to construe
Conceived on this day of Red gallantry
A march towards Blue serenity
East that’s Red, West that’s Blue
Philippines that’s Yellow is friend to both of you!
On EDSA you have seen our peaceful revolution
Worthy of worldwide emulation
The champions of democracy
Whose son now seated to pursue the journey
Has made clear the path
Against those who are corrupt
And so the weighing scales of justice
Shall have nothing amiss
