God save our gracious Queen,
Long live our Gloria Queen,
God save the Queen!
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long her FVR to reign over us;
God save the Queen!
O Lord our God arise,
Scatter her enemies
And make them fall;
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their Coryist and MBC tricks,
On Thee our hopes we fix,
God save us all!
Thy choicest EVATs in store
On her be pleased to pour;
Long may her FVR reign;
May she defend our laws,
And ever give us cause
To sing with heart and voice,
God save the Queen!
Not in this
But be God's mercies known,
From shore to shore!
Lord make the nations see,
That she will not resign be,
And form one Parliament to see,
The wide world over.
From every latent foe,
From the Cabinet’s blow,
God save the Queen!
O'er her thine arm extend,
For
Our taxman, prince, and friend,
God save the Queen!
Lord grant that her General
May by thy mighty aid
Victory bring.
May he sedition hush,
And like a torrent rush,
Rebellious Party Listers, Liberals to crush.
God save the Queen!

He would have been the first Dean of a College of Science of the Philippine University had the nation made the transition to indepe ndence in a peaceful manner. That was recognized by the American College of Pharmacy when they feted Dr Luna on what would have been his 60th birthday noting his work in combating malaria. But that was not to be. He became a soldier. General Luna was for a professional military within the bounds of the constitution. Perhaps that is the biggest sign of contradiction for today. Please answer the question: Would President Duterte (or a President Aquino, Marcos, Arroyo, Quezon etc) have a General Luna as his c...
