tears of themis was cooking when they made luke pearce like. absolutely insane character. he looks like the most generic anime style boy ever and then you read his stories and then it's like wow. hes dying, hes a liar, hes a hypocrite, hes got a heart too big for his ribcage, hes self-destructive and self-sabotages his own joy, hes got PTSD and likely many other mental disorders, hes a knight, hes a dog, hes a soldier, he needs to read "Wild Geese" by Mary Oliver, hes obsessed with the past, hes afraid of the future, hes taking illegal drugs, hes a sword, hes a shield, hes a loaded gun, hes a litany of agony, hes a love letter to life itself. blorbo of all time for me. specialest guy in the world.

Unsung lines of "Bayan Ko" denote active struggle

The version popularized by Freddie Aguilar omitted these lines, which signify a more active struggle against oppression. The commercialized version even relegated the caged bird to resort to tears (kulungin man ay umiiyak; iyak=crying), while the progressive version personifies resistance (kulungin man ay pumipiglas; piglas=struggling).

Here are the lines, which should be the coda of the song:

Kaysarap mabuhay sa sariling bayan Kung walang alipin at may kalayaan Ang bayang sinisiil, babangon, lalaban din Ang silanga'y pupula, sa timyas ng paglaya

Rough English translation:

We live our lives to the full in our own country If there are no slaves and there is collective freedom An oppressed country, will rise up and fight And with the break of a reddish dawn, savor the sweetness of victory
