The annual Banyuhay ng Wika showcases a Sabayang Pagbikas (choral recitation) and this year’s featured piece was Kung Tuyo na ang Luha, Aking Bayan by Amado Hernandez, whose 110th birthday is being commemorated this year.
The poem depicts criticism on social injustices, especially to the Filipino language.
