DANTAONG DALUYAN NG KAMALAYAN

Springing forth from the birth of a college pioneering in agriculture and forestry, the consciousness for servant leadership was nurtured with the blossoming of the sciences, technology, the arts and the humanities; inured and deepened through the dark days of the First Quarter Storm; and continues to flow to reckon the challenges of today. UP Los Baños upholds excellence in critical and creative thinking, yielding outstanding educators, researchers, scientists and extension workers. The Oblation is a constant reminder of the call to stand in solidarity with the Filipino people, a passionate offering of all that we are for the cause of nation-building.

(music and lyrics by Prof. Alleli C. Domingo, Deputy Director of IMSP)

I.

Sa duyan ng Makiling

Ang kakayaha’y nalinang

Butil ng dunong yumabong

Malikhaing isip kuminang.

Lumago sining at agham, Iskolar ng Bayan

Nahasa pananaliksik at kaalaman

Inani’y karangalan, madla’y nakinabang

Diwang-Oblation, adhikang taglay.

O, Pamantasan ng Pilipinas

Paglingkuran mo sambayanan

Palaganapin ang kahusayan

Isapamuhay kadakilaan.

II.

Sa pagdaan ng unos

Paghihinagpis ay lubos

Ang pangitai’y nanimdim

Kalikasa’y tigib ng dilim.

Umugong tangis at taghoy ng kabataan

Katarungan, katuwiran pinanindigan

Uyayi sa lansangan, kapwa’y ipinaglaban

Ipinamalas kabayanihan.

O, Pamantasan ng Pilipinas

Huwag talikuran tawag ng bayan

Ipamahagi ang karunungan

At pagyamanin kapuluan

III.

Isulong ang kapakanan ng mamamayan

Pag-asang dulot ng giting ng pinagmulan

Hangad na kaunlaran ating makakamtan

Mabawi ang ningas ng kasaysayan.

O, Pamantasan ng Pilipinas

Huwag talikuran tawag ng bayan

Ipamahagi ang karunungan

At pagyamanin kapuluan!
