Hello and good day expert tutor! I am required to advance read about the AN ACT PRESCRIBING THE CODE OF THE NATIONAL FLAG, ANTHEM, MOTTO, COAT-OF-ARMS AND OTHER HERALDIC ITEMS AND DEVICES OF THE PHILIPPINES for our subject NSTP-CWTS in 1st Year College. Can I ask you to explain them to me in Tagalog/Filipino so that I can clearly understand them? It would be much more appreciated if being explained in Tagalog. I only included the sections of 34-55 as it would be a lot to you if I will included all. Thank you expert tutors!

Lupang hinirang,

Duyan ka ng magiting,

Sa manlulupig

Di ka pasisiil.

Sa dagat at bundok,

Sa simoy at sa langit mong bughaw,

May dilag ang tula

At awit sa paglayang minamahal.

Ang kislap ng watawat mo'y

Tagumpay na nagniningning;

Ang bituin at araw niya,

Kailan pa ma'y di magdidilim.

Lupa ng araw, ng luwalhati't pagsinta,

Buhay ay langit sa piling mo;

Aming ligaya na 'pag may mang-aapi,

Ang mamatay nang dahil sa 'yo.
