MANILA -- Star Music has released the music video of Jake Zyrus’s version of the Visayan classic “Usahay.”

The track is included in the album "Kaibigan: A Troy Laureta OPM Collective" of Filipino-American musical director Troy Laureta.

The almost four-minute music video is directed by Sherard Yu and was shot in Tagaytay.

Zyrus had said he wanted to do something "challenging and special" for Laureta's OPM album.

"I am Filipino and I wanted to do something challenging yet special as well. Then we remember, probably a decade ago, I did this concert in Cebu and 30 minutes before the show, Troy was like 'Kapatid, we should do a Visayan song.' And 30 minutes before the show I literally tried to learn it. So I had an idea what this song was. And we both looked at each other and we were like 'yeah, we have to do 'Usahay,'" Zyrus said.

"For me, it's challenging as well and I hope I did justice kasi may mga Cebuano and Davaoeños talagang music lover din ang mga 'yan. In fact, we have so many famous singers in the Philippines na mga Visaya. Kay Ma'am Pilita (Corrales) pa lang. Oh my God! Thinking that Ma'am Pilita is the original singer, that made me really nervous. This is such a classic iconic song," gushed Zyrus, who thanked Laureta for creating the beautiful arrangement of "Usahay."

LOS ANGELES -- Marvel and Disney's "Captain America: Brave New World" clung to the top of the North American box office this weekend despite a steep drop from its opening, earning an estimated $28.2 million, analysts said Sunday.

That take, on a slow February weekend, was just over one-fourth the $100 million the superhero film earned at its opening. Reviews of the movie, with Anthony Mackie in the title role, have been decidedly weak.

Neon Studio's new comedy-horror film "The Monkey," based on a short story by Stephen King, opened in second place for the Friday-through-Sunday period, taking in an estimated $14.2 million, industry watcher Exhibitor Relations reported.

Theo James, Rohan Campbell and Elijah Wood star in the movie about a demonic toy monkey that is linked to a series of horrific deaths.

In third place, slipping one spot from last weekend, was Columbia and Sony's "Paddington in Peru," at $6.5 million. Ben Whishaw voices the lovable, floppy-hatted bear.

Also down one spot was "Dog Man," a superhero comedy from Universal and DreamWorks, at $5.9 million. The family-friendly animation is a spinoff from the best-selling "Captain Underpants" books.

And in fifth, at $3 million, was "Ne Zha 2" from CMC Pictures. The Chinese blockbuster has become the biggest-ever box-office release in China and the highest-grossing animated film of all time.

The tale of a rebellious young deity who uses his powers to battle formidable foes, "Ne Zha 2" has logged worldwide ticket sales of $1.72 billion since its January 29 release in China, according to state news agency Xinhua.

Rounding out the top 10 were:

"Heart Eyes" ($2.9 million)

"The Unbreakable Boy" ($2.5 million)

"Mufasa: The Lion King" ($2.5 million)

"One of Them Days" ($1.4 million)

"Love Hurts" ($1.1 million)
