Maria Aragon, Thia Megia To Sing National Anthem in Pacquiao - Marquez III Bout
As previously announced, young Pinay YouTube sensation Maria Aragon was chosen by Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao himself to sing the Philippine national anthem in his upcoming fight with Juan Miguel Marquez on November 12.
But just last Sunday, American Idol Season 10 finalist Thia Megia announced during her live guest appearance in GMA-7 showbiz oriented show Showbiz Central that she will also sing on the same fight as promised to her by Pacquiao, "I met him last night. It was amazing. I got to sing the national anthem for him last night. He told me that I will be singing in his next fight," Megia said.
Some might ask, "are they going to have a 'Lupang Hinirang' duet?" Is this confusion related (no, not again) to network war (Aragon is a Kapamilya talent while Megia is being associated with Kapuso network)?
But before this confusion get out of control, Aragon's manager Jeng Guiyab cleared this issue and said that Pacquiao's secretary confirmed that Aragon will be the one to sing the Philippine national anthem "Lupang Hinirang" while Megia will sing the US anthem "Star Spangled Banner".
