From the BBC Website:-
The Philippine House of Representatives has approved a bill criminalising the improper singing of the country's national anthem.
Some performers have been criticised for singing the anthem too slowly or with the wrong beat, or adding their own personal touches. This new bill is very precise: the anthem should be sung to a marching tempo, within the range of 100 to 120 beats per minute.
When it is played at public gatherings and in cinemas, all citizens should stand to attention and sing with fervour, as a sign of respect. Those who deviate from the official version could face a fine of more than $2,000 (£1,264), or up to two years in jail.
Is this the way to go for sorting out GOSBTS?
