During Jerry Penalosa’s boxing exhibition bout with Freddie Roach, Christian Bautista was there singing the Philippine national anthem. Freddie Roach admired the voice of Christian but wait………it seem that he forgotten some of the lyrics! The two lines “Buhay ay langit sa piling mo: aming ligaya na pag may mang-aapi” on the last stanza was omitted. Anyway we are all human and we commit mistakes. There is a saying that “to err is human but to forgive is divine”. Chistian made a public apology as featured in GMA’s Saksi.

This is what he said:

“I apologize to the Filipino people for the lapse of memory that occurred yesterday during my rendition of the national anthem. I was recovering from a cold and the adrenalin and excitement of the moment got me through it unfortunately. It was at the cost of a momentary lapse on my part. I promise that my next rendition of our national anthem will be faultless.” ~ Christian Bautista
