People's Champ and 8-division
world boxing champion Manny Pacquiao personally choose American Idol Season
11 Filipino-Mexican American contender Jessica Sanchez to sing "Lupang
Hinirang" in one of his future fights.
Pacquaio recently said he is praying for Sanchez to win the US talent competition
“American Idol.” “Jessica, good luck and we’re praying for you. Sana manalo ka.
No, hindi sana. I declare that you’re gonna win in Jesus’ name,” he said.
Pacquiao is well known for bringing
Filiino talent to sing the anthem in his fights. The list includes Charice
Pempengco, Zyrene Parsad, Maria Aragon, Lani Misalucha, Christian Bautista,
Kyla, Jennifer Bautista, Jonalyn Viray, Aicelle Santos, Maricar Garcia, Arnel
Pineda, Sarah Geronimo and “American Idol” Season 10 finalist Thia Megia.
In his upcoming fight against Timothy Bradley this coming June 9, Pacquiao chose Kirby Asunto, 14-year-old
Filipina-New Yorker, to sing the national anthem.
