Regine Velasquez to sing RP anthem in Texas

SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS — Asia’s songbird Regine Velasquez will sing the national anthem when Filipino ring superstar Manny Pacquiao and Mexican Jorge Solis clash at the Alamodome here on April 14.

GMA 7 public relations head Butch Raquel, through Barbs Atienza, confirmed Velasquez’s acceptance in a text message Monday.

The multi-awarded Velasquez will do the part earlier played by Lani Misalucha, Dessa, Jennifer Bautista and Sarah Geronimo, who did the honors in the Pacquiao-Erik Morales Grand Finale clash last November in Las Vegas.
