Martin Nievera to sing Philippine National Anthem at Pacquiao-Hatton fight
The Philippines’ concert king, Martin Nievera will be singing the national anthem in the Manny Pacquiao-Ricky Hatton fight in Las Vegas.
Lea Salonga and Charice have also expressed desire to render our country’s national anthem in the fight but in the end Pacquiao announced that it will be Martin Nievera.
Artists who previously sang in Pacman’s previous fights were Karylle (versus Oscar de La Hoya), Ciara Sotto (versus Juan Manuel Marquez), Nicole Angela Judalena (versus David Diaz), Kyla (versus Marco Antonio Barrera) and Geneva Cruz (versus Jorge Solis).

wala ka talagang taste MANNY! lea salonga deserves the shot. she sings lupang hinirang with justice. for martin, i don’t freakin’ know what would be the dating pag kumanta siya. hahaha. XD

I also like Lea Salonga, pero why don’t we give chance for male singers of the Philippines?? Para iba naman, diba? walang masama dun, hindi naman basis ang gender ng mga singers ng phils para sa pagkatalo or pagkapanalo ni Pacman..Nasa paghahanda parin ni pacquiao un..

Ayoko kay Martin dahil OA parati pero magaling siyang kumanta. Have you ever freakin’ heard him sing? (at talaga namang may “freakin’” ka pang nalalaman) Mukhang masyado mo siyang minamaliit as a singer.
April 9th, 2009 at 1:10 am
Martin is a good singer, and I’m sure he’ll do justice with the national anthem. Curious lang, I knew he grew up in the States, pero bakit until now, after years of being in the Philippines, baluktot pa rin siyang magtagalog? Talo pa siya ni Dayanara Torres and Michelle na dating asawa ni Ogie magtagalog.
April 9th, 2009 at 5:53 pm
baluktot pa rin sya mag-tagalog dahil he does not give a damn to the Filipino language. he does exert any effort to learn our language.
April 10th, 2009 at 10:29 am
sa tagal ba naman ni Martin at ginawa pa ngang concert king sa bansa na’to ay di pa rin natutunan magtagalog. ehmmp,,,,, cguro ayaw lang matutunan kaya di sya karapatdapat na kumanta sa laban ni Manny kc pagnagkataon na matalo si Manny ay baka sya pa ang sisihin….. si christian na lang dapat pakantahin.
April 11th, 2009 at 7:39 pm
sa Dos nalang yan c manny pagkatapos ng contrata nya sa GMA kasi at that time di na nag boboxing c manny so anong silbi? im sure di na rin cya pag interesan ng mga mandurugas na station.. FYI i dont like martin charice lea or whoever basta Diva ang dating IMO. its better c manny na mismo ang kakanta sa bayang magiliw natin na perlas ng sinilangan.para maiba naman… hindi puro charice arnel or whoever na sikat na sa US gusto pa naman i over expose.. mahilig talaga ang kapamilya mang over expose…. or better yet c rey valera nalang papuntahin sa US maraming pang nakakilala kay Mr Valera na mga matagal na sa US….

@pinyata: Bakit hindi na lang ikaw ang kumanta? Let’s hear your disgusting and over the top voice! Besides, you’re the best in every aspects of life right? What an insect!

Martin’s version was so bad. It turned out that i not the only one with the same sentiment. He thinks its a ballad.
May 4th, 2009 at 12:16 pm
SAMA NG VERSION NI MARTIN…PANIRA!
May 4th, 2009 at 6:44 pm
I think Martin Nievera needs to make a big-time apology to the Filipino people. Singing off key is one thing, but bastardizing it is another. He turned it into a self-glorifying, over-acting, poorly scored song. After listening to his version and the anthems of the UK and the US, I felt very embarrassed. The Americans and Brits probably think we are jokes. Even Manny’s Entrance Song got more cheers than our very own Anthem. Martin, you should be very ashamed of yourself.
I will NEVER watch a Martin Nievera concert ever. I will NEVER buy any of his songs. I will NEVER invite to sing at my wedding. Heck, I will not even bother to listen to him to sing for free. He has to realize a lot of people are OUTRAGED by what he did, and what he did was near BLASPHEMOUS.

Dapat kay Martin tumahimik na lang. Dapat sa Malacanang tumahimik din. A felony just got commited at ngayon na ang NHI, ginangawa ang trabaho nila, nagtataka ako kung bakit may mga tao na nagagawa pang ipagtanggol ang felon.
Sabagay applicable ba ang batas sa mga tulad ni Martin Nievera? Amerikano yata yan kaya hindi nalalaman ang kahalagahan ng kulturang pilipino.
