Christian Bautista bloops national anthem

From Paradise Philippines -

Last Sunday, young Philippine actor and singer Christian Bautista was given an opportunity to sing the Philippine National Anthem at an exhibition match between reigning world bantamweight champion Gerry Peñalosa and NABF bantamweight champion Bernabe Concepcion at Metropolis Mall in Alabang, Philippines.

It was another proud moment for the Philippines to host a celebrated boxing match. As the match commence, all sports spectators all stood up for the singing of the national anthem led by Christian.

As the crowd sing to their hearts, Christian suddenly buckled a few lines of the lyrics. The momentous pride suddenly became a monumental embarrassment.

The incident spread throughout and Christian felt the need to apologize for what happened.

He said, “I apologize to the Filipino people for the unforgivable 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 the cost of a momentary lapse on my part.”
