Memory Enhancers for Christian Bautista

September 18, 2007

Golly, I just saw on TV the BIG boo-boo Christian Bautista made during Gerry Peñalosa's exhibition game in Alabang last Sunday. He forgot a few lines of the Philippine National Anthem and made a shortcut. Here's an excerpt of the news from ABS-CBNNews.com:

The controversial scene involved Bautista, who sang the “Lupang Hinirang” in the middle of the boxing ring surrounded by fans who flocked to see Peñalosa’s exhibition game at the Metropolis Star mall.

Near the end of "Lupang Hinirang" (Chosen Land), Bautista sang the lines "Ang bituin at araw na kailanpama'y di magdidilim. Lupa ng araw ng luwalhati't pagsinta." He missed two lines and then finished the song with the final line "Ang mamatay ng dahil sa 'yo!"

But at least he made a public apology and promised to do better next time.

“It feels bad for me kasi being a Filipino I feel very nationalistic and here I am..parang because of a lapse in memory I really feel bad sa nangyari. I don’t know siguro iyung moment, adrenalin, excitement, I was recovering from a sickness siguro naghalo tapos I just couldn’t find the words,” he explained.
