Jessica Sanchez sang the National Anthem and the Philippines national anthem (Lupang Hinirang) before the Manny Pacquiao vs Brandon Rios fight in Macau, China yesterday. Manny won the fight, in the last round, 120-108, 119-109, and 118-110.
Manny asked Jessica if she would do the honors over twitter earlier this month:
@jessicaesanchez would you do me the honor of singing the national anthems before our fight? #PacRios

@JessicaESanchez That’s wonderful. And no weigh-in required! #PacRios

It’s not the first time Jessica has sung the anthem before a Pacquiao fight. She performed it when the Filipino fighter faced off against Timothy Bradley in Las Vegas last year.
