Do Re Mi Movie Part 2 After 20 Years?
Twenty years after it was first shown, the hit 1996 musical movie DoReMi--starring the trio of Donna Cruz, Regine Velasquez, and Mikee Cojuangco--has not been forgotten by fans.
The duet of Regine Velasquez-Alcasid and Donna Cruz-Larrazabal at Regine's July 30 PLDT Home The Regine Series Nationwide Tour in Cebu even sparked clamor from fans for them to do a reunion movie!
PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) asked its original writer and concept creator Mel Mendoza-del Rosario through Facebook Messenger if a sequel is happening this 2016.
However, she answered, 'Naku... parang hindi [pa]...'
According to her, the idea of a sequel really came from the fans of the original movie.
She added, 'The idea really came from the fans. There really was a generation of DoReMi 'cult.'
'A lot of the netizens in their mid-20s to 30s see DoReMi as iconic for their time.
'So maybe, enough clamor from fans might make Boss Vic [Del Rosario, VIVA Films producer] consider a remake.'
Mel is very happy that fans have not forgotten the movie, especially the scene in the comfort room where Donette (Donna) met Reggie (Regine) and Mikki (Mikee) for the first time when they sang 'Stop! In The Name of Love.'
According to Wikipedia, DoReMi was dubbed as one of the most successful Filipino musical comedy films of the '90s when it earned P170 million during its one-month run in 1996.
Directed by Ike Jarlego and produced by VIVA's Neo Films, the movie is also known for its theme song 'I Can,' which also became a hit in Philippine music charts.

Regine's 30th Anniversary Surprise
Thirty years ago, an emerging singer dreamed of recording her own songs. As a virtually unknown name on the local music scene, all she just wanted was to be called a songbird and to perform before a large crowd. Hearing people cheer for her after every performance was her ultimate reward.
Today, her name is synonymous to success, being one of the best-selling recording artists in the local music industry. With multiplatinum records, sold out concerts, blockbuster films and top-rating TV shows and countless awards and recognition, Regine Velasquez has become a much bigger star than what she initially wished to be.
“When I was starting in the business, all I wanted was just to sing. I never thought a lot of opportunities would come my way. I was just so in love with music,” she told Manila Standard in an interview after her book signing held a few weeks ago in Eastwood Mall.
Known for her powerful vocals and her ability to hit high notes most singers think impossible to reach, Regine did not fail to impress her fans and the people who graced the event.
The book signing turned into a mini concert with the Songbird belting out a few classics. Songbird Regine Velasquez-Alcasid shares her favorite recipes in a new cookbook titled 'Bongga Sa Kusina' “Singing is practically part of my life like we are one. And singing for them [the fan] whenever I can is my way of saying ‘thank you’ for their unparalleled support,” she said. We have witnessed how the chanteuse gives her fans the kind of attention they deserve. During the launching of the cookbook, which collects all the unique recipes featured in her cooking show Sarap Diva, she tirelessly greeted everyone who queued just to have a glimpse of the music superstar. Almost 300 of them patiently waited for their turn to meet the diva and have their books autographed. The cookbook titled Bongga sa Kusina was conceived two years ago but it only got finalized this year in time for Regine’s 30th anniversary in the business.
“Thirty years, it’s really hard to recall how I was and what my aspirations were. But I can easily remember the burning passion in me to sing and perform. And the people I have worked with…they are instrumental to what I am and what I have accomplished right now,” the singer related. To celebrate her three successful decades in the business, Regine is coming up with an album which she plans to call R3K, which seems a spin off to her R2K album that is considered as one the best-selling records in history with almost half-a-million copies sold. The album, she said, is a compilation of songs she recorded in the past that also defined her music career.
“I wanted to call it R3.0 but I’m having some trouble adding a hashtag to it because Instagram doesn’t read the 0 anymore. That’s why I’m calling it R3K for easy reference,” Regine beamed. The preparation she’s doing for the album, the cookbook she has just launched in collaboration with Summit Books, and a musical show she’s going to have on GMA Network are just some of the few events leading to a grand celebration the diva will stage before the year ends. And as a celebrated singer, people expect nothing but a grand concert to culminate her 30th year anniversary. “That’s the main highlight of my 30th anniversary celebration. I’m returning to the concert stage and I hope people will celebrate with me,” Regine ended.
