dear diary,

the next song in side B of the christmas way demo album is a tagalog
song which i had hoped would  sound like a pilipino folk song or
something. i don't recall now where i got the title for this song or the
idea for the lyrics thereof. maybe, i just made it up so the song might
encourage a sense of love of country and of one's fellowmen in the face
of any problem that might beset the country and its people.

title - ang bayan ko ay may sugat
written - no recorded date
melogy/lyrics - lolo bomboy
guitar - mario a. costo
album - side B christmas way demo
singer - lolo bomboy
recorded at morning breeze, caloocan

guitar intro

ang bayan ko
ay may sugat
ang puso niya'y
umiiyak
mga tao
ay nagugulo
o kay saklap
o bayan ko

ang bayan ko
ay may sugat
ang puso niya'y
umiiyak

kaya tayo'y
magbigayan
kapwa tao'y
paglingkuran
at ang hiling
ng inang bayan
tayong lahat
ay magmahalan

ang bayan ko
ay may sugat
ang puso nya'y
umiiyak

guitar instrumental

kaya tayo'y
mabigayan
kapwa tao'y
paglingkuran
at ang hiling
ng inang bayan
tayong lahat
ay magmahalan

i think the song and its lyrics are as relevant today as the day when i
wrote the them.  there will always be some problems that could cause the
country's  heart to bleed and therefore there will always be a need for
all of its citizens to do something to remedy said problems and help
their less fortunate fellowmen.
