To folks in America, Manny Pacquaio is pretty much just a boxer, but to his people back home, he is way more than that. He is also a politician, actor and a singer.
The latter of which can be seen in the music video above, for “Lalaban Ako Para Sa Filipino,” which happens to be his entrance music on May 2 when he steps in the ring with Floyd Mayweather for one of the biggest fight the boxing world has ever seen.
The clip blends footage from Pac Man in the ring for some of his most memorable fights, as well as him training and shots of him recording the track. It also shows every day people from his native country of the Phillipines so folks get a good look at where he comes from and why he tries to give back to his people.
Don’t mind the slight autotune. We can tell Manny is singing from his heart even though we can’t understand a goddamn thing he’s saying.
