Chords for Martsa ng Bayan

_ _ And particularly Steve Williams was, you heard from Power, was [Bm] espousing upon [Bb] _
the reality of the movement
that there [N] are a number of sectors.
There's the women's sector, there's the worker's sector, peasants,
there are professionals, students, youth, urban poor, etc.
As long as there are some people that have a _
particularized experience in the Philippines, they can have a sector.
And they definitely are very attentive
to their own personal struggles that they may face.
Urban poor people are dealing with demolitions.
Women, obviously, are dealing with male supremacy and patriarchy.
And that's not just old _ _ colonial and
pre-colonial residue, but also things that have to do with _ _ _ imperialism and whatnot, like coming down,
the Philippines, workers dealing with low wages, peasants dealing with landless, etc.
So these are all
very particular _ problems, yet there is a very, very clear unity amongst all these different sectors in the
Philippines.
And that's why it's not just the peasant movement, it's not just the workers' movement or the
student movement, it's the national democratic movement.
All these different sectors coming together
with a very common goal, despite their different [A] experiences, and that is to liberate the Philippines.
So this song is called Martso ng Bayan.
So bayan is a Tagalog word for either people [N] or nation or land.
And it's a march of all of us linking arms together, regardless of our differences and knowing that we have a
common goal to free our nation.
_ So, _ yeah.
Okay.
