Martin Nievera sings 'Lupang Hinirang'

Martin Nievera gave a beautiful rendition of Lupang Hinirang, the Philippine National Anthem, during the fight of Filipino boxing hero Manny Pacquiao against British boxer Ricky Hatton at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday, May 2, 2009.

Martin started the song in a melo-dramatic way, then switched to a fast beat and ended it the 'Martin Nievera' way.
