21st Barrio Festival at London
Accordingly, the Philippine National Anthem was made fun of when ‘OK, Fine, Whatever’ went to London to join the 21st Barrio Festival.
just as the cheeky girls (usual sexy dancing) were on stage, someone must have made a mistake and put on the Philippine National Anthem, Lupang Hinirang, this of course looked truly out of place, as the girls just carried on with their sexy up and down display, then a Female official from the Philippine Centre, the organizers, came on and “threw all of her toys out of the Pram” by stating the following
The Philippine National Anthem Lupang Hinirang should not have been played just then, it has come to our attention that someone is desicrating the Philippine National Flags, you must remember how lucky you are to be here in the United Kingdom, I have been here for 23 years, and I am a Filipino, she then punched the air once a again and jumped up, to the prounoucement we are all Filipinos here in the UK, you are all lucky, I am lucky, but we must not forget who we are…we are Filipinos
