One of the common mistake Filipinos make in regards to Philippine culture is the title of our very own National Anthem.
The anthem starts with the line “Bayang Magiliw …”, thus creating a confusion to majority of Filipino nowadays thinking that it is the title of the anthem or that it is one and the same and both answers are correct either ways.
This taxi driver have commited a traffic violation in Taguig, turning left in a prohibited are. The Traffic enforcer would have let him got away with it of only he answered correctly.
“Ano ang Pambansang Awit?”
“Pambansang Awit? Bayang Magiliw.”
A few netizens have come to the defense of the driver saying that it was close, and it had been instilled in most of our minds during our primary days or that it was instinct, he might have knew but it was instinct that made him say the first thought that came to mind. Some netizens on the other hand have commended the traffic enforcer for the idea and that it was better than extortion.
