Arnel Pineda, the Filipino front man of popular American rock band "Journey,"
will sing the Philippine national anthem in Manny ??Pacman? Pacquiao??s
much-awaited fight with Ghanaian Joshua "The Grand Master" Clottey on March 13
(March 14 in Manila) at the Cowboys Stadium in Dallas, Texas.
In an exclusive interview with abs-cbnNEWS.com, Pineda confirmed that he was
invited by Pacquiao to sing "Lupang Hinirang" in his upcoming fight.
"Pupunta ako sa Dallas to sing sa laban ni Manny [Pacquiao].This Thursday
[ang alis ko]. (I am going to Dallas this Thursday to sing in Pacquiao's
fight.)," Pineda said.
"I'm really happy kasi matutuloy na. Nahihiya na ako kay Manny kasi
pangatlong invitation na ito sa akin. Baka kasi isipin ay iniisnab ko. So
finally, matutuloy na. (This is my third invitation from Manny who might think
I'm snubbing him. I'm happy this is finally pushing through), " he said.
The crooner said he was not able to sing in Pacquiao's previous fights
because of his hectic schedule as Journey's vocalist.

Museum, where the MYX Music Awards was held. Sarah took home four trophies ?? for
Favorite Artist, Favorite Remake (You Changed My Life), Favorite Media

??Wag po kayong magagalit sa kin ha, nakakapanglambot. ??Congratulations!???
Sarah exclaimed, while mimicking April Gustilo??s signature cheer in Wowowee.
The Popsters, Sarah??s fans, came full force as they screamed and shrieked
every time their idol??s name was called to receive her awards.
Rico Blanco, Gloc9 and Kyla took home two trophies each. Rico bagged the
Favorite MYX Live Performance and Favorite Male Artist awards. Kyla was cited as
the Viewers?? Choice for Favorite Mellow Video and Favorite Song while Gloc9

The music channel conferred its MYX Magna Award to Jose Mari Chan, whose son,

that time.
