Let us cherish the moment when we’re empty but happy. Tired but inspired. Down but smiling. Feeling lost but living for a cause. Life is a gift.

No matter how your dreams may seem unreachable, dream them anyway. No matter how e have been hurt by the people we love, love them anyway. No matter how hard life is, live it anyway. No matter how our prayers seem unanswered, pray them anyway. God will make a way. Just believe His promise: Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you. (Heb. 3:5)

La Diva Sings Philippine National Anthem "Lupang Hinirang" in Pacquiao-Cotto clash

All-girl pop group “La Diva” sang the country’s national anthem Sunday (Manila time) before thousands of spectators who trooped to MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada to watch the “Firepower” clash between Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao and Puerto Rican Miguel Cotto.

The group is composed of “Pinoy Pop Superstar” champions Aicelle Santos, Maricris Garcia and Jonalyn Viray.

Ednita Nazario sang Puerto Rico's national anthem while"American Idol's" Ramiele Malubay sang the United States' "The Star-Spangled Banner."

Willie Revillame was one of the Filipino celebrities who flew to Las Vegas to watch the fight.

International celebrities Mickey Rourke, Will Ferrel, Magic Johnson, Sean "Diddy" Combs, Mark Wahlberg, and Derek Jeter were also spotted in the arena.

Pacquiao personally picked the "La Diva" after he saw the group's performance. He said he believed that the “La Diva” would do justice in singing the national anthem.

It is a dream of many Filipino artists to sing the national anthem in Pacquiao’s fights that always draw millions of viewers around the world. However, it has also been a subject of controversy after some artists chose to alter the rendition of "Lupang Hinirang."

This violates a law prohibiting the changing of the melody of “Lupang Hinirang.” The law states that the rendition of the national anthem, whether played or sung, should be in accordance with the original musical arrangement of Julian Felipe, which follows a marching-type beat.

Violators may be imprisoned for not more than a year and fined at least P20,000.

Early this year, Martin Nievera was at center of the controversy after he incorrectly sang the national anthem during the May 2 fight of Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton.

Pacquiao vs Cotto Fight

In an incredible, aggressive fight, Manny Pacquiao (49-3-2, 37 KOs) stopped WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto (34-1, 27 KOs) in round twelve to win another world title in an unprecedented seventh weight division on Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Both fighters were on the attack from the opening bell. Pacman dropped Cotto with a right hook in round three. Cotto dominated round four, but was dropped by a left uppercut at the end of the round. Cotto fought courageously but was rocked again in the sixth by Pacman’s hurtful shots coming in from all angles. Cotto began to box from the outside in the seventh with some success. However, Pacquiao continued to stalk him and break him down. Cotto was in survival mode down the stretch. Referee Kenny Bayless finally waved in off in round twelve. Time was :55.
