Lalaban Ako para sa Pilipino (English: I Will Fight for the Filipinos) is an EP by Filipino boxer and entertainer Manny Pacquiao. It is also the title track of the EP, [2] and his last release after he announced retirement from singing. [3] The EP was released on 24 April 2015 [2] under GMA Records. [2]
It was his entrance song to his fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr., [4] which he lost. [5]
It was written by Filipino composer Lito Camo, who is also a close friend of Pacquiao. [1]
Pacquiao himself directed the four-minute-and-seventeen-second video. [1] It mostly shows the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan; scenes from his previous fights, notably against Érik Morales and Juan Manuel Márquez; and videos of Pacquiao hurt during those fights, with blood on his face. It also features Filipinos praying religiously while smiling or crying; Pacquiao training before his fights; and him performing the song in a studio with a crowd cheering him on, singing along with the track and waving the Philippine flag proudly. At the end of the video, Pacquiao closes his eyes slowly, as if to pray. [1]
