Pledge of Allegiance to the Philippine Flag

The Panunumpa ng Katapatan sa Watawat (English: Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag) is the pledge to the flag of the Philippines. It is one of two national pledges, the other being the Panatang Makabayan, which is the Philippine national pledge.

The Panunumpa ng Katapatan sa Watawat is recited at a flag ceremony immediately after the Panatang Makabayan or, if the Panatang Makabayan is not recited, after the national anthem.

The pledge was legalized under the Flag and Heraldry Code of the Philippines, or Republic Act No. 8491. The law makes no statement of what language the pledge must be recited in, but the pledge is written in Filipino.

Text of the Pledge

In Filipino

Ako ay Pilipino
Buong katapatang nanunumpa
Sa watawat ng Pilipinas
At sa bansang kanyang sinasagisag
Na may dangal, katarungan at kalayaan
Na ipinakikilos ng sambayanang
Maka-Diyos, Makatao,
Makakalikasan at
Makabansa

In English

I am a Filipino
I pledge my allegiance
To the flag of the Philippines
And to the country she represents
With honor, justice and freedom
That is forwarded by one country
For the love of God, people
Nature
And country
