Ylona Garcia: "Medyo kabado ako nung una na kantahin ito."
Ylona Garcia may have moved to another country to start a new career path, but her roots remain connected to the Philippines.
The Filipino-Australian singer shared photos of her in California for the Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Oakland Athletics game where she performed the Philippine National Anthem.
Ylona admitted that she was nervous singing the national anthem, but she was proud to represent her culture.
She captioned her post, "Nagkaroon ako ng pagkakataong kantahin ang Lupang Hinirang [Philippine National Anthem] sa palaro ng Dodgers!"
"Medyo kabado ako nung una na kantahin ito, dahil hindi ito ang sarili kong kanta. Pero kahit na gayunpaman, ito ang kanta na nagrerepresenta sa aking sarili at sa aking bansa."
"Sinigurado ko na nasa tamang tono, tamang oras at higit sa lahat galing sa aking puso ang pag kanta ko nito. sana'y napasaya at napahanga ko kayo, mga kababayan. sana ay proud kayo, Pilipinas!"
In 2015, Ylona rose to fame in the Philippines after joining a Philippine television reality show at age 13.
She became a singer, songwriter, and actress until she went back to her hometown in Australia in 2021. That same year, Ylona signed a contract with US music label 88rising in 2021 and released her own singles such as "Entertain Me."
