YouTube singing sensation Maria Aragon is getting big breaks one after another, the latest of which is being selected by world boxing champion Manny Pacquiao to sing the Philippine national anthem in his fight against Mexican boxer Juan Manuel Marquez in November.
“Yes I’m really excited,” Maria told "Showbiz News Ngayon" about the matter. “It happened all very quickly and I’m so very thankful for getting the chance to do this. It’s an opportunity that a lot of singers don’t really get.”
She said she knows the lyrics of the national anthem but “I’m still practicing on how to pronounce (the words).”
Maria’s selection to sing the national anthem is just one of the string of opportunities that has landed on her lap. She was recently chosen to sing the theme song of “Junior Master Chef Pinoy Edition.” Her song, “Bilib Ako Sa ‘Yo” evokes hope among the young contestants in the show.
“It’s very motivational. It’s like kaya mo ito. It’s kinda like a theme song for kids who really wanna reach their dreams,” Maria explained about the song.
Maria also expressed appreciation of her fans’ support. “Everything has been unforgettable. I have, like, a fan club that goes to all my shows. They have, like, a tarpaulin and has my face on it. It’s really cool and it’s the first one that I’ve seen of me. They’re really, really supportive that’s why I really, really love the Filipinos...” she said.
