The provincial board of Cebu has passed a resolution condemning Nievera's version of Lupang Hinirang. The board said he violated Republic Act (RA) 8491, or the 1998 Flag and Heraldic Code of the Philippines, by "murdering" the national anthem.

According to Section 37 of RA 8491, the rendition of the national anthem, whether played or sung, shall be in accordance with the musical arrangement and composition of Julian Felipe.

Section 20 of the law also states: "The rendition of the flag ceremony in official or civic gatherings shall be simple and dignified and shall include the playing or singing of the anthem in its original Filipino lyrics and march tempo."

RA 8491 prescribes that any person who will violate its provisions may be punished by a fine of at least P20,000 or imprisonment of not more than one year. - abs-cbnnews.com
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. - John 3:16-18

First of all, that is not a national anthem but only an "inspirational song". Thats why Martin did not sung it in accordance with the original arrangement.

A national anthem can not be sung inside unsacred venue such as a Casino, Arena where gambling is held.

If it is held in a Gymnasium or a grandstand, then yes he can sing the original arrangement of Lupang Hinirang.

Are they serious or just looking for ways to spend the taxpayers money by going back & forth to Manila staying in 5 star hotels just to pursue this case.

The irony. Patriotic, but they steal the money form the nation's coffers.

Hypocrites. Pharisees of our days!

Shame on them!
