Charice Pempengco singing Lupang Hinirang, the National Anthem of the Philippines during the Manny Pacquiao - Shane Mosley fight ( May 7, 2011 )




I was watching Manny Pacquiao vs. Mosley Fight last march 7, 2011 while preparing our meal for celebration to my mom special day “Mother’s Day”. First on the stage, the singing sensation Charice Pempengco from Philippines sung Lupang Hinirang" (Philippine national anthem). During the Pacquiao-Mosley match in Las Vegas, Nevada on Saturday (Sunday in Manila).
 

I was shocked because this girl sung very well; but on other side; I’ve noticed that her outfit that she be dressed in is not a Filipina Dress (National Dress of the Philippines).so I’m very disappointed to her as a Pilipino who idolize her singing talent but more than that her attitude to turn out to be a Pilipino Pride.

 

NHCP (National Historical Commission of the Philippines ) director said:

“I had no doubt that she will do it properly, the singing of the national anthem. And last Sunday, we all saw it, we all heard it. She sang perfectly," NHCP executive director Ludovico Badoy said in an interview with GMA News’ “24 Oras." He also added that the NHCP will send Charice a commendation letter for her rendition of the “Lupang Hinirang," which the commission set apart from the performances by other Filipino singers during Pacquiao’s other matches. 

Based on my observation, I have no question about her performances during Pacquiao-Mosley fight last march 2011. And, she made all the Filipinos proud of her.but where’s the Nationalism? Oh! My God! Where is it again? The Dress she dresses in? I doubt it….and all the previous singers who sung very well? Mr. NHCP Director?am I right?


I HAVE SOMETHING SMELL ?... Maybe, it's a plus factor for Charice since her name resounds than the rest.
