Brilliant! – GMA-7’s dramatic film presentation of “Lupang Hinirang”

A SPECIAL WORK OF MUSIC AND ART! EXCLUSIVE from Filipino Celebrity Headlines Examiner, HOLLYWOOD, California – GMA-7’s dramatic film presentation of “Lupang Hinirang” is compelling, riveting and inspiring! Yes, it’s wholly revealing with empowering spirit of fearlessness – all for the best of Honorable Philippine Congressman Manny Pacquiao’s heroism in the ring of madness. GMA-7’s film presentation of “Lupang Hinirang”

This visual model of presenting the Philippine national anthem, “Lupang Hinirang”, by GMA-7 is just perfect for his pre-fight salutation to the Maharlikan nation and its testifying power from the historical experience of the Maharlikans. It conveys perfect insight of historic summary and portrayal of events in a span of two minutes and thirty-five seconds.

Yes, such film is simply plausible amid controversies, criticisms and legal consequences most singers faced especially after their respective rendition of “Lupang Hinirang” in their own innovative style. Latest invitees who rendered to sing the Philippine national anthem and thereafter faced legal admonitions were Arnel Pineda, Martin Rivera and many more.

Similar films presenting “Lupang Hinirang” in the same manner as that of GMA-7’s have been reviewed by this writer. But, they are deemed as less appealing in terms of concept, esoteric and rhetorical implications.

Filipino Celebrity Headlines Examiner hereby recommends Team Pacquiao to use this film for Pacquiao’s next fight, to honor the Maharlikan nation and to heighten Pacquiao’s inspiration even more. After all, the same film is just perfect for the bombastic $1.2 billion stadium. It has the world’s biggest high definition screen bearing about 72 by 160 feet, which surpasses the current record which is also a Mitsubishi electric screen in Tokyo, Japan; that is the centerpiece of the Dallas Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
