Maka-Diyos, Maka-tao, Makakalikasan at Makabansa (Filipino for "For God, People, Nature, and Country"[1] or "For the Love of God, People, Nature, and Country"[2]) is the national motto of the Philippines. Derived from the last four lines of the Pledge of Allegiance to the Philippine Flag, it was adopted on February 12, 1998, with the passage of Republic Act No. 8491, the Flag and Heraldic Code of the Philippines, during the presidency of Fidel V. Ramos.[3] Its adoption came twelve years after the abolition of the country's previous motto,[4] "Isang Bansa, Isang Diwa", which was adopted during the presidency of Ferdinand Marcos in 1979.
