This song can get you fined or even imprisoned. In the Philippines, a specific law requires everyone to stand at attention, place their right hand over their chest, and sing it properly whenever it plays.
The song is none other than "Lupang Hinirang", the Philippine national anthem. Under Republic Act No. 8491, which was enacted in 1998, disrespecting it can lead to fines or even jail time!
That’s how serious the Philippines is about honoring its national anthem!
