Angeline Quinto shared a humorous and unforgettable experience involving Asia’s Songbird Regine Velasquez, revealing that she received a diamond from her idol after their ‘ASAP Vancouver’ show.
During her guesting on Direk Antonette Jadaone’s podcast, Angeline began with a blind item as she recalled one of her most memorable moments.
“Ang memorable, after ng ‘ASAP Vancouver’, Direk. Pag-uwi namin dito, may isa kasing singer na nagbigay sa akin ng diamond. Hindi ko siya suot ngayon,” she said, showing the diamond ring she was wearing and adding that the gift she received was “mas malaki pa raw” than the one she had on.
The hosts immediately guessed that the singer was Regine Velasquez, prompting Angeline to shout, “Yes!”
She shared how her constant compliments may have pushed Regine to hand over the jewelry.
“Siguro nakukulitan na siya sa akin kakabati ko. Alam mo, Direk, si Ms. Reg, ang sarap niyang batiin. ‘Ms. Reg, ang ganda naman ng hikaw mo ngayon.’ Kasi ‘pag pangatlo, pang-apat, makukulitan na siya sa ‘yo. Lagi mo na lang binabati, ‘Heto na nga!’ Gano’n siya.”
This isn’t the first time Angeline received jewelry from the Songbird.
“Before po, nabigyan na rin ako ni Ms. Reg ng earrings. Buntis pa siya no’n kay Nate. Nag-guest po siya sa first major concert ko. So ‘yun ang binigay niya.”
She continued with another funny anecdote about Regine’s generosity: “Alam mo si Ms. Reg, iaabot niya sa ‘yo, pero akala mo ang inabot, listahan lang ng utang.”
As a self-confessed ultimate fan of Regine Velasquez, Angeline has always been open about her admiration. She once shared that even her bedroom walls were filled with Regine’s photos, saying Regine has always been her biggest musical influence and inspiration.
