STA. CRUZ,
Davao del Sur, June 16 – Authorities of the Municipality of Sta. Cruz, Davao del
Sur push for enforcing strict compliance of the singing of the official
municipal hymn entitled “Sta. Cruz nga Pinalangga (Beloved Sta. Cruz),” by
virtue of Sangguniang Bayan Resolution No. 046-16, Municipal Ordinance No. 04
series of 2016.
The adoption
of the “Sta. Cruz nga Pinalangga” conforms to the provision of the 1987
Philippine Constitution to give priority to education, science and technology,
arts, culture, and sports to foster patriotism and nationalism, accelerate
social progress and promote total human liberation and development.
It also
conforms to another provision in fostering preservation, enrichment and dynamic
evolution of a Filipino national culture based on the principle of unity in
diversity in a climate of free artistic and intellectual expressions.
The singing
of the municipal hymn is also in line with the Local Government Code’s
provision to ensure and promote preservation and enrichment of culture within
its territorial jurisdictions.
“Sta. Cruz
nga Pinalangga” is a winning masterpiece out of a song writing workshop in
2003. The lyrics was created by Benbenuto L. Caspi, Jr. while the music was
provided by Corazon P. Diaz.
The LGU
officials require and direct all officials and employees of national and local
government regardless of religion or creed, political beliefs and aspirations,
and status in life as premised in the ordinance and any agency or
instrumentality.
The directive
will also cover government-owned or controlled corporations, privately-owned
entities or offices and government institutions to comply strictly with the
rules prescribed for the rendition of the Municipal Hymn.
Failure to
observe the rules shall be ground for administrative sanctions. (CDIO-Sta.
