The Fallen 44 (Special Action Force Or Saf) Poem by Marvin Brato Sr

To die for you
is our pledge
oh Philippines...
my beloved country!

We were trained and tasked
to be strong and principled
mentally and physically...
to protect you, Oh Philippines.

We had faith and allegiance
to follow orders without complaint
obedience to superiors, loyal to the flag
and sacrificed our lives, family and future.

We fought with bravery
to subdue the terrorists
yet even our brothers
had mistook us as enemies.

On the battled field
we were overthrown
our body may had died
but our souls shall live on.


Justice may not come to us anymore
but may God enlighten those who lives
to continue pursue the dream of true peace
that all Christians and Muslims been seeking.

May our death be an inspiration
for every Filipino to become united
find peace under one country and God
that we the fallen 44 SAF had not died in vain.
