“Asia’s Songbird” Regine Velasquez was one of the special guests at Sarah Geronimo’s sold-out 20th-anniversary concert on May 12, at the Araneta Coliseum.
Sarah Geronimo, a Filipino singer, performer, and actress, considers Velaquez’ participation in her 20th anniversary concert significant because she has played a significant role in her entertainment career.
Velasquez hosted ‘Star for a Night,’ a singing contest on Viva Television from March 2002 to March 2003.
Geronimo shared, “And after winning Star for a Night, nabigyan po ako ng pagkakataon na mapalapit po sa kanya.”
Geronimo furthered, “She has become my mentor and my good friend, na talaga naman pong habambuhay ko po ‘yon ite-treasure at pasasalamatan sa pagkakataon na ibinigay niya sa akin. Sinuportahan po niya ako magmula nang gumawa ako ng debut album ko. Nag-back up pa po siya sa akin sa isang song ko at nag-guest din po siya sa lahat ng mga concert ko.”
After their duet, Regine Velasquez shared that she was also a guest of Sarah Geronimo in her first concert at the Araneta Coliseum back in 2005. She expressed her happiness for her fellow singer’s 20 years of success.
“Ikaw ibinigay din sa amin ni Lord,” she said.
Velasquez followed her message to Geronimo with a playful remark, surprising the latter as she is conservative.
“Gusto ko lang sabihin na landian kayo nang landian. Landian nang landian. Nakakaloka!“
“Oo landian nang… Hindi ka na virgin?” Velaquez jokingly asked the fellow singer.
Sarah Geronimo laughed and embraced Velasquez, while the audience inside the Araneta Coliseum cheered.
