MANILA, Philippines — Barangay Ginebra's LA Tenorio spearheaded several PBA players in a cover of Michael Jackson's "Heal The World" amid the coronavirus threat.
Posted on the PBA's Twitter account, Tenorio is seen leading several other players in singing the song.
The idea was reportedly inspired by Wonder Woman actress Gal Gadot and friends' rendition of John Lennon's Imagine that went viral on social media earlier this week.
