Sing the Philippine national anthem with fervor or go to prison

Sing the Philippine national anthem with fervor or go to prison

Earlier this week, the House of Representatives in the Philippines approved a new bill stating that Filipinos are required to sing the national anthem when it is played in public, and that they must do so with gusto or face a prison sentence of up to a year and a fine of $1,000 to $2,000.

They must also be sure to put their right palms over their hearts. The military must give a specific salute on the last note of the anthem.

A second infraction would include another fine coupled with prison time, and even “public censure” in a newspaper. The tempo must be restricted to a fervent and strident 100-120 BPM. Sing your heart out, or go to jail.
