HP Veer Commercial Featuring Manny Pacquiao

JOKE ONLY

MANILA, Philippines - After impressing the world with her "neglectful" performance on "Glee," international singing sensation Charice will get the world's attention anew when she sings the Philippine National Anthem in the Manny Pacquiao-Sugar Shane Mosley bout on May 7.


The Filipino boxing icon's advisor, Michael Koncz, relayed the news that was reported by ABS-CBN News. As always, it was Pacquiao himself who picked the Filipina diva to sing "Lupang Hinirang" in his upcoming fight at MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.


The singer behind the hit single "Pyramid" expressed her desire to sing the national anthem in one of Pacquiao's fights in 2009.


Koncz related to ABS-CBN News that Team Pacquiao already talked to Charice in Los Angeles and that the latter expressed excitement to sing our anthem to worldwide boxing enthusiasts. Team Pacquiao, just the same, feels honored that Charice accepted their invitation right away.

After the anticipated May 7 fight, Pacquiao is also set to do a series of concerts. For years, Team Pacquiao has been holding concerts after each of the boxing champ's fight.

As reported by ABS-CBN News, the singing pound-for-pound king, with his MP Band, will stage shows in Las Vegas and California on May 10.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Boxing champion Manny Pacquiao is adding another job to his resume.
The welterweight champion, Filipino congressman and actor is releasing a song on April 28.
Pacquiao's recording of "Sometimes When We Touch" will be released globally before his May 7 WBO welterweight title fight in Las Vegas against American Shane Mosley.

Pacquiao, 32, recorded the song with its creator, Dan Hill, who made it a top ten hit in 1978. Other artists that have covered the song include Tina Turner, Tammy Wynette, Rod Stewart, Barry Manilow and Engelbert Humperdinck.

"I was immediately drawn by the honesty and the gentleness of his performance. It was like 'wow'," Hill said of Pacquiao.

Pacquiao has performed the song before, on U.S. late night TV show "The Jimmy Kimmel Show" in November 2010. He is due to return to "Jimmy Kimmel" to debut the new track on Thursday next week.
But asked if he would sing for the media in Los Angeles earlier this week, Pacquiao shied away, laughing, and agreed only to pose for photos holding the promotional DVD for the new song.
