People’s Champ Manny Pacquiao might have overlooked international singing sensation Charice when he chose another artist to sing “Lupang Hinirang” in his May 2 match. Still, the Filipino pint-sized singer was given the privilege to sing the national anthem of another country, the United States.

Charice was chosen to sing “The Star-Spangled Banner” during the opening day of  a baseball event at Dodgers Stadium in  Los Angeles last April 13 (US time). She sang before an almost 60,000 people, reportedly the biggest crowd to have watched the event.

Wearing a Dodger uniform, Charice was introduced as a 16-year-old "phenomenal young teen" from the Philippines.

"Now, we welcome the phenomenal young teen whose singing has gained worldwide fame and admiration and who is sensational in this year's historic presidential inauguration events," the emcee said.

After her rendition, applause and cheer filled the stadium as confetti rained down on the crowd. 

Charice, who is now in the US to finish her first international album, also performed at Muhammad Ali’s Celebrity Fight on March 28 in Phoenix, Arizona.

In the event, Charice wowed the legendary American boxer with her performance of Michael Jackson's hit "Billie Jean." While singing the song, Charice did the famous "Ali shuffle" before doing the “moonwalk.”

Charice also captivated her Italian audience when she guested on the European country’s popular television show "Ti lascio una canzone (I'm Leaving a Song for You).”
