Iloilo Meets Regine’s Lighter Side
The Ilonggos went to see Regine
Velasquez-Alcasid in a Kapuso Fans’ Day mounted by GMA Regional TV last June 27
at SM City Iloilo all looking forward to hearing and seeing her perform
live—and they got more than what they wished for. They discovered the hilarious
side of the songstress.
With Ate Redge, the Songbird impersonator,
in tow, the event took off on an entertaining note as he performed in an
opening number together with the Regine sing-alikes and look-alikes. Everyone
was cheering for their bets while the contestants gave their best.
A deafening greeting followed when it was
finally Regine’s turn to take center stage. Song after song, the crowd heartily
chanted with her. What thrilled the audience more was the Asia’s Songbird
herself, after gulping ice cold water after each song, engaging the Ilonggos in
a humorous time with her playful spiels.
Not only did she sing, she also gamely
kidded around with Ate Redge, the contestants, and the audience. Even Direk
Gina Alajar, who was also in town to scout for potential child actors to be
part of the come backing well-loved 80s drama series Yagit, laughed her
heart out while watching Regine deliver her jokes.
Regine shared that she really enjoys being a
part of GMA’s trip to the regions, which also gives her the chance to see her
supporters from wherever part of the country they may be.
“It’s a good thing that I get to tour
different parts of the country while having a fans’ day too. Umiikot talaga kami pero
hiwa-hiwalay. It’s a monthly thing. Minsan
dalawa,” said Regine.
The famous Kapuso singer recently came from
Davao, Dagupan, Vigan, and Boracay before visiting Iloilo.
“So habang
wala akong soap ito ‘yung ginagawa ko. More
than 10 na ‘yung naka-line
up na Kapuso Fans’ Day. It’s exciting,”
enthused Regine, looking forward to her succeeding trips.
“We
are grateful that Regine has allotted time for her regional fans. Regional TV's
Integrated Marketing Services Division and Entertainment TV have been planning
for her Kapuso Fans Day in the regions since last year. This is part of the
synergy efforts of the Kapuso Network. We are happy to see Regine touch-base
with her fans who have supported her through the years,” said Oliver Amoroso,
AVP and Head for GMA Regional TV-Integrated Marketing Services. /MP
