Which Wedding are NY Pinoys More Excited About?
by Ricardo F. Lo

Did you know that many Pinoy New Yorkers are more excited about the Ogie Alcasid-Regine Velasquez wedding on Dec. 22 at the Punta Fuego Resort in Nasugbu, Batangas, than the April 2011 royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton at the Westminster Abbey in London?

“Yes, it’s true,” confirmed Funfare’s Big Apple correspondent Edmund Silvestre (of The Filipino Reporter). “You know how we Filipinos are, we love our own.”

Another reason is that one of the Pinoy New Yorkers, Dr. Rosario “Ching” Ojeda Legarda of Westchester County, New York, is one of the wedding’s principal sponsors.

Dr. Legarda, who is Tita Ching to all, has been a major concert producer in the US since the late ’80s, when she, along with her husband Dr. Ramon “Tito Mon” Legarda, and her cousins Alicia Ojeda Martinez and husband Redentor Martinez, established Lemar International, a group credited with numerous top-caliber Filipino concerts that remain unmatched up to this day. (When Lemar was dissolved in the late ’90s, the Legardas put up Group Ole, while the Martinezes created Re-Al Entertainment.)

It was through Lemar that Tita Ching met Regine and that paved the way for the very first US concert of the then fast-rising teenage belter at the world-famous Carnegie Hall in October 1991. It gave Regine the honor of being the first Filipino — at age 19 — to stage a solo performance at the main hall of Carnegie Hall, “even beating Tony and Laurence Olivier-winner Lea Salonga to that feat,” said Edmund.

Edmund added that Tita Ching and Tito Mon would always tell an anecdote about Regine not being able to sneak into a New York bar because she was underage.

“Regine’s Carnegie Hall concert ended late and all the restaurants were already closed by then,” Tita Ching recalled. “Only bars were still open but patrons below 21 were not allowed. So we all ended up having dinner at McDonald’s. At wala namang reklamo si Regine.

“I actually met Regine through Jose Mari Chan, who is one of the original artists of Lemar. Joe Mari invited us to his benefit concert with Regine at Leyte State College in Tacloban (in August 1990) for the Cathedral School of La Naval. At that time, Regine was so gorgeous, so young, so fresh at hindi pa siya mahilig sa mga signature bags. She was so quiet and so simple, but everyone already knew then that she was an extraordinary talent. She was managed then by Ronnie Henares. I also got to meet for the first time Mang Gerry, Regine’s father, who was so supportive and protective of Regine.”

After her Carnegie Hall concert, Regine and Mang Gerry stayed for a few days at the Legardas’ Tony Westchester home in the New York suburbs. The Legardas have two children — Denise L. Gallagher (she has a young daughter, Fiona); and Aldo Legarda, who is getting married next year to Charisse Luk in Bali, Indonesia. The Legarda family owns the avant garde restaurant La Cocina de Tita Moning near Malacañang. I’ve been to the place upon the invitation of celebrity lawyer Katrina Legarda (Tita Ching’s cousin-in-law) and dining there is a memorable experience.

“Talagang hindi madaldal si Regine, tahimik lang talaga, kahit namamasyal kami around New York,” Tita Ching continued. “She wasn’t like other teenagers na livewire or maingay, or who would gush with excitement pag may nakitang gusto nila or nakakatuwa. She was always prim and proper. And to show her appreciation to me and Mon, Regine bought a nice turtleneck and drew a woman’s face on it and signed it for us. That was truly a lovely gesture knowing that it came from her heart. We fell in love with her because of that. We still have that turtleneck, by the way.”

Tita Ching said it was Ogie who actually informed her on the phone last Oct. 16 that they’re getting her to be a ninang.

“It was just a casual call from Ogie,” Tita Ching told Edmund. “Ogie said, ‘Can you be one of our ninangs?’ Of course, I was surprised and happy, and I simply told Ogie, ‘Yes, I’m honored and I accept’.”

Tita Ching said she and Mon (who always call Regine a “Lemar baby”) are so happy that Regine finally met the man who “completes her.”

“They are very much in love with each other,” she said. “Ogie is very down to earth and funny, and a brilliant singer and songwriter, ang dami niyang hit songs at pareho pa silang Entertainer of the Year ni Regine. All her life, Regine dedicated herself to her family. She made sure all her siblings graduated from college, have their own careers, at nasa maayos na estado ang buong pamilya niya. I think she’ll be forever like that, very close to her family. And I salute her for that.”

I told Edmund to relay the message to Tita Ching that Regine will wear a dazzling red gown specially designed by Monique Lhuillier, and to ask Tita Ching what she will be wearing.

Laughed Edmund during an overseas call, “Tita Ching won’t tell dahil hindi naman daw siya ang ikakasal.”

Said Edmund, “All Tita Ching would say is that she wishes Regine and Ogie lots of love and understanding.”

Tita Ching added, “And since they’re both really busy and very dedicated to their careers, they must find time for each other. Love is self-sacrifice. They should give and take in order to have a successful marriage.”

Regine Velasquez: I Heart U, Pare! 2011 "Pasabog", Last Days Being Single and More!

Tatlo ang characters ni Regine Velasquez sa kanyang bagong series sa GMA 7 na I ♥ You Pare. Role niya ay isang babae, isang bading at isang lalake. Kaya minsan daw ay naguguluhan si Regine kung ano na ba ang character na kinukunan sa kanya.

“Pinapahirapan nila talaga ako. Ayaw nila akong ngaragin, ‘di ba? Hindi sila nakuntento na babae at bading ang role ko, dinagdagan pa ng isa pa at kailangan umarte ako na tunay na lalake! Ayaw na nila akong bigyan ng peace of mind! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! “Pinapaalala ko lang sa kanila na malapit na akong ikasal kaya hinay-hinay naman sila sa mga pinapagawa sa akin! Gusto ko fresh ako sa araw ng kasal ko! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!” sabi ni Regine. Nag-last taping day na nga si Regine sa I ♥ You Pare last Friday dahil kailangan na niyang magpahinga dahil sa December 22 na ang kanyang wedding day with Ogie Alcasid.“Nakunan na namin ang pilot week. Kaya sarado na iyon. Yung iba namang na-tape ko na ay yung mga big production numbers na kasama ko ang mga drag queens led by none other than Kuya Pip (Tirso Cruz III) na ang name dito ay Sarsi. “Aalagaan kasi ako ng mga drag queens dito. Itatago nila ako dahil may nangyaring hindi maganda sa buhay ko. Kaya para magkaroon ako ng silbi, tinuruan nila akong maging bading at ginawang showgirl na rin. “Abangan nila ito kasi masaya ang show na ito at magkakaroon ng showdown between sa grupo nila Kuya Pip at sa grupo nila Paolo Ballesteros. Sila Paolo kasi ang mga batang drag queens na kalaban ng mga mashoshondang drag queens. Ang saya-saya kaya abangan nila ito.”

Nakunan na rin daw ang kissing scene nila ng leading man niyang si Dingdong Dantes. Kilig daw ang mga eksenang iyon at kumportable na siya na katrabaho si Dong.

“Kami naman ni Dong, noon pa kami nagkakatrabaho. May ginawa kami noon na TV-movie tapos nagkapareha pa kami sa Pangarap Ko’y Ibigin Ka. Kaya yung kissing scene, wala lang iyon. Parang normal lang. Feeling ko lang si Marian Rivera ako. Inisip ko naman na si Ogie siya! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!” tawa ulit ni Regine.

Kakapirma nga lang pala ni Regine ng bagong network contract para sa GMA 7. Biro nga ni Regine na “panghabambuhay” na ang kotratang iyon with the Kapuso network.

Simula na this Monday ang three-week vacation from work ni Regine Velasquez, hindi muna siya mapapanood sa Party Pilipinas at tigil muna sa taping ng I Heart U Pare. Sa pagbabalik niya sa January 2011, Mrs. Ogie Alcasid na siya.Sabi ni Regine, matagal nang dumating ang wedding gown niyang gawa ni Monique Lhuillier na ’di niya maisukat dahil bawal, pero puwedeng isukat ’wag lang makita ng groom. Bago magbakasyon, ini-launch muna ni Regine ang kanyang Fantasy album na after two weeks, na-hit na ang gold mark. Nag-advance taping na rin siya para sa I Heart U Pare na kundi Jan. 17 ay Jan. 31, 2011 ang premiere. Kapareha niya rito si Dingdong Dantes at gaganap siyang drag queen. “Baklang-bakla ako rito, nagli-lip sync ako na inaral ko dahil hindi ako magaling nun. Masaya ang taping namin at tawa lang kami nang tawa. Marami akong kasamang bakla at sina Dingdong at Marc Abaya lang ang tunay na lalaki sa istorya,” sabi ng Asia’s Songbird.

Nag-workshop si Regine kay Pen Medina para magampanan ang complicated role nina Tonette at Tonia. Nakakatulong din na marami siyang kasamang bakla sa taping at ang nagbabakla-bakla*ang sila Tirso Cruz III, Joel Saracho, at Boy Alano at si Direk Andoy Ranay.

Samantala, nag-iyakan kahapon sa last day ni Regine sa Party Pilipinas pero nangakong babalik dahil hindi siya papayagang tumigil sa pagkanta ni Ogie.

“Magkita tayo next year, may pasabog ako,” sabi ni Regine na kahit umiiyak na, maganda pa ring kumanta.

Regine, Emotional on Party Pilipinas "Kilig" Fantasy Album Gold Record Awarding and Her Pre- Wedding Message 121210

Naging emosyunal si Regine Velasquez sa huling araw niya sa Party Pilipinas kaninang hapon, December 12.

Pansamantala muna kasing hindi mapapanood ang Asia's Songbird sa musical-variety show ng GMA-7 dahil sa paghahanda sa kanyang kasal kay Ogie Alcasid sampung araw mula ngayon—December 22.

Sa bandang huling bahagi ng Party Pilipinas kanina ay binigyan ng maliit na "tribute" si Regine.

Pagkatapos kantahin ng singer-actress ang isa sa mga awitin sa kanyang bagong album na Fantasy—ang "Ok Lang Ako" na nilika ni Chito Miranda ng Parokya Ni Edgar—ay iginawad sa kanya ang Gold Record Award.

Wala pang isang buwan na na-release ang bagong album ni Regine, pero nag-Gold na ito. At ayon sa Universal Records boss na si Kathleen Dy ay No. 1 dahil sa lahat ng record stores.

Sa kanyang pagpapasalamat, nabanggit ni Regine na na-realize niya na ang Fantasy na pala ang huling album niya bilang "Regine Velasquez." Next year kasi ay magiging "Mrs. Ogie Alcasid" na siya.

Pagkatapos ng awarding kay Regine ay sumunod na ang pagkanta ng mga kasamahan niya sa programa na sina Jaya, Kyla, Rachelle Ann Go, at ang La Diva (Jonalyn Viray, Aicelle Santos, at Maricris Garcia) ng ilan sa mga pinasikat niyang mga kanta: "Kailangan Ko'y Ikaw, "Love Me Again," "Dadalhin," at ang cover version ng "On The Wings of Love."

Pagkatapos bumirit ni Jaya ng "On The Wings of Love" ay tinawag niya si Regine, na katabi ni Ogie sa may gilid ng stage, para magsalita at magbigay muli ng isang awitin.

NEW PAGE IN REGINE'S LIFE. Pag-akyat ng Asia's Songbird sa stage, natatawang sinabi niya kung bakit binibigyan siya ng tribute samantalang hindi naman siya tuluyang magpapaalam sa Party Pilipinas.

"Hindi ako magpapaalam, mag-aasawa lang ako!" bulalas niya.

Pagkatapos nito ay naging seryoso na si Regine at nagsalita siya tungkol sa bagong yugto na papasukin niya sa kanyang buhay.Sabi niya, natapos na ang "pag-iisip" niya para sa kanyang mga magulang at mga kapatid."Tapos na po ako do'n. Lahat po ng mga kapatid ko, and thank God, they are all doing well. And my parents are doing well also."Maraming salamat kay Lord kasi natapos ko na 'yon," naluluha nang sabi ni Regine.Hindi naman kaila sa marami na si Regine ang nagtaguyod sa kanyang pamilya mula nang manalo siya sa Bagong Kampeon hanggang sa sumikat siya bilang singer ar aktres."And there was a time na ako na lang ang iniisip ko," patuloy ng Asia's Songbird."So ngayon, medy mababago ulit kasi hindi ko na masyadong iisipin yung sarili ko. Kasi, kailangan isipin ko na meron na pala akong partner."Ang tinutukoy na "partner" siyempre ni Regine ay ang magiging asawa niya na si Ogie Alcasid.Pagkatapos nito ay pinasalamatan ni Regine ang "lahat ng mga nakasama ko simula pa lang"—mula sa una niyang manager na si Ronnie Henares hanggang sa kanyang kapatid na si Cacai Velasquez, na siyang humahawak sa career niya ngayon.Dahil hindi niya mapigilang umiyak habang nagsasalita, nagbiro ito ng: "Pasensiya na kayo, medyo emotional ako, hormones! Hello!"Patuloy niya, "Nagpapasalamat din ako sa mga taong tumulong sa akin."Higit sa lahat, nagpapasalamat po ako sa mga kaibigan ko na patuloy pong sumusuporta sa mga album ko, nanonood ng mga pelikula ko, bumibili ng mga CD ko."Nagbabasa ako minsan sa Internet, nakakatawa, kasi nilalagay nila do'n: 'Regine at 40, ikaw pa rin!'

"Bakit naman kailangan may 40 pa?" natatawa niyang sabi.

"No, but thank you.

"From the bottom of my heart, hindi ko po mararating kung ano po ang narating ko ngayon kung wala po kayo.

"Maraming-maraming salamat po," naiiyak na sabi pa ni Regine.

THANK YOU, BUT NO GOODBYE. Pero paglilinaw niya, "Hindi po ako nagpapaalam, nagpapasalamat lang po ako.

"Hindi naman po ako magpapaalam dahil ayaw naman po akong pahintuin ng magiging asawa ko.

"I'm very thankful na sabi niya, kung pagod na ako, magpahinga ako sa ibang bagay na ginagawa ko. Pero huwag ko daw iwan ang pagkanta.

"Thank you very much, Babu," mensahe ni Regine sa kanyang future husband.

Pinasalamatan muli ni Regine ang mga nakatrabaho niya sa Party Pilipinas.

"Magkita-kita tayo next year kasi may pasabog ako next year! Good luck! Abangan n'yo!" dagdag niya.

REGINE'S "SONG." Pagkatapos nito ay tumugtog na ang piyesa para number niyang "You Are My Song."Pero pagkatapos ng unang verse ng kanta ay hindi na naituloy ni Regine ang pagkanta dahil tuluyan nang umagos ang luha niya."Ano ba?!" natatawa niyang sabi, pero hindi pa rin niya mapigilan ang kanyang emosyon at hindi pa rin siya nakakanta.Dahil dito, sinalo na lang siya ng kaibigan niyang si Jaya, na nasa gilid na ng stage, at siyang nagtuloy ng kanta. Sumabay na rin sina Kyla, Rachelle Ann, La Diva, at maging si Ogie.Nang maka-recover si Regine nung bandang huli ay itinuloy niya ang pagbirit sa kanyang sariling kanta.Bagamat hindi muna mapapanood si Regine sa Party Pilipinas, hindi naman siya tuluyang mami-miss ng kanyang fans dahil may nakahanda na siyang teleserye sa Kapuso network.Isa sa opening salvo ng GMA-7 sa 2011 ang I ♥ You Pare na pagsasamahan nina Regine at Dingdong Dantes.
