Thia, not just Maria, to sing anthem at Pacquiao fight
Another Filipina is set to sing at boxing champ Manny Pacquiao’s upcoming fight.
Fil-American Thia Megia was asked by the pound-for-pound king to sing “Star Spangled Banner,” the national anthem of the United States of America before his fight with Juan Manuel Marquez on Nov. 12 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The “American Idol” Season 10 finalist broke the news on “24 Oras” Sept. 19. “I met him (Pacquiao) last Saturday. It was amazing. I got to sing the national anthem for him… He told me that I will be singing in his next fight… I have been watching his fights for years. I’m so happy and I’m so excited,” the 16-year-old singer related.
