Martin Nievera sings "Lupang Hinirang" in Pacquiao fights

Martin Nievera sings "Lupang Hinirang" in Pacquiao fights. Martin Nievera, the first male artist to sing the Philippine National Anthem in all of Manny Pacquiao’s bouts, performed a fresh new version of Lupang Hinirang approved by the National Historic Institute.

The first four lines started out slow and a dramatic instrumental follows. The tempo became upbeat at the beginning of the fifth line until it reaches the climax of the song which is the last line “Ang Mamatay ng Dahil Sa Iyo”. Martin hits a very high note at the end and maintained his vibrato to the delight of the proud Filipinos at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

The new version that Martin sang was approved by the Historic Institute of the Philippines.

It’s fresh, it’s original and it delivered goosebumps!
