Regine Velasquez, is a renowned Filipino singer, actress, and record producer. She is often referred to as "Asia's Songbird" due to her exceptional vocal range and belting technique. Regine's passion for music was evident from a young age. Recognizing her potential, her father, Gerardo Velasquez, took an unconventional approach to train her voice by immersing her neck-deep in the sea. Throughout her career, Regine has released several studio albums, making her one of the best-selling Filipino artists. In December 2010, Regine married fellow Filipino singer-songwriter Ogie Alcasid. The couple has a son named Nathaniel James.
As previously reported by KAMI, Regine Velasquez expressed on social media her concern about how ordinary Filipinos face strict requirements to secure funds, while others seem to access money with ease. She observed that even modest home renovations demand contracts and receipts, while billion-peso undertakings seem to bypass such requirements. The singer also emphasized that regular citizens are burdened with collateral, interest, and amortization when applying for loans.
Earlier, Regine marked her 55th birthday on April 22. Before her special day ended, the singer shared photos giving glimpses of how she spent her birthday. The Asia’s Songbird also penned a meaningful caption about her celebration. She likewise tackled how she prefers making memories with her loved ones more than having lavish parties.
