Music video※

Pacquiao himself directed the four-minute-and-seventeen-second video. 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.
