- Regine Velasquez acknowledges the issue that she has become an outdated performer.
- She will also have a concert with other Original Pilipino Music singers.
- She also admitted that she has already appreciated the time she has.
In the recent #paMORE press conference, Regine Velasquez admitted that she feels like she started becoming an outdated performer. The Asia’s Songbird also noted that concert producers started putting her off their list of performers. She also added that it has become a huge change from her prime.
In the said press conference, Regine reacted on the said issue.
“Nandito na ako sa time ng career ko na ganu’n na. Ako naman kasi praktikal akong tao at saka nare-recognize ko naman ’yung pinamamalagi ko sa industriyang ito. I’m very aware of where I am now.”
Regine also added that she still feel blessed because of the opportunities given to her.
“Alam kong hindi na ito katulad ng dati, hindi na ako ‘yung sikat, alam mo ‘yun, pero I just feel very blessed that I am still given the opportunity to be able to perform or nasa TV pa rin naman ako, kumbaga, may trabaho pa rin naman ako.”
Regine thinks it comes with her age and shared that she has already accepted it. However, she remains stronger than before.
“Pero I think, andito na ako sa age na ganu’n, pababa na talaga ito. Accepted ko na ’yan… Mahirap lang kapag hindi mo ina-accept kasi magkakaroon ka nang masyadong madaming ilusyon and at the end, you pressure yourself and then you just get heartbroken.”
According to Asia’s Songbird herself, she entered the industry when she was young. Although, she never felt whether she became a popular name or not.
“Bata pa ako, nu’ng nag-uumpisa pa lang ako sa industriya, actually, hindi ko nga nalaman ’yung time na sumikat ako o sumikat bang talaga ako? Alam mo ’yun? Ayoko nang isipin… Basta ang alam ko lang, nagtatrabaho ako. Alam ko lang, blessed ako ni Lord, binibigyan pa ako ng work and opportunity to be able to work with other artists.”
Regine continued that she remains enjoying the job she enjoys. She also added that she appreciates the time she has with her son and husband, Ogie Alcasid.
“Medyo ramdam naman namin ’yun eh… Siyempre, nararamdaman mo na ’yung parang dumadalang na. Pero alam mo, ine-enjoy ko pa rin ’yun kasi andito na rin ako sa estado ng buhay ko na may family na ako, meron akong anak… Na-appreciate ko ’yung time na meron ako with my son, na meron ako with my husband. So hindi ko na masyadong napapansin na ‘laos’ na ako, na wala nang masyadong kumukuha sa akin.”
