We believe:
That faith in God gives meaning and purpose to human life;
That the brotherhood of man transcends the sovereignty of nations;
That economic justice can best be won by free men through free enterprise;
That government should be of laws rather than of men;
That earth's great treasure lies in human personality;
And that service to humanity is the best work of life.

May the Lord Guide us in all Our Undertakings. Amen.

Oh, Fair Basilan
Where the Winds Gently Blow;
And the sweet scented whisp'ring breeze
Sets hearts aglow.
Land bathed in moonlight
Watched by wandering stars;
You're a haven of pure delight
Filled with music of guitars.
Chorus:
We'll love you more each day
Oh, Pearl so bright,so rare
your beauty all can see
Is far beyond compare.
Oh, Fair Basilan!
Islands we all adore
May your people live happily
Forever more.
(Repeat Chorus)
The treasure islands of the Southern Sea,
Basilan, our joy, you'll ever be...

Can well direct him where to look for it.”
