Regine Velasquez, a true Diva

Tinuturing na isa sa pinaka maningning na singer at artista si Regine Velasquez sa ating bansa. With a string of hits and a number of awards to her belt, Asia’s Songbird is a real live diva. 

At ngayong linggo, lalo pa niyang papatunayan sa atin kung gaano siya kagaling, hindi lang sa pag-awit kung hindi sa pag-arte din, via the aptly titled musical dramedy, Diva.

"I've always wanted to do a musical. Kaya medyo nag-hesitate ako ng konti to doTotoy Bato, kinailangan nila akong i-convince to do it, kasi I want do this first [Diva]. Matagal na talaga ito. Dapat talaga ito muna, but hindi pa kami ready for it. So, nag- Totoy Bato, muna kami. But now, we're ready for a kantaserye,” ang kuwento ni Regine pagkatapos ng press launch ng pinakabagong prime time series ng GMA.

The first of its kind on Philippine television, ang Kantaserye na ito was conceptualized by Regine herself. 

“Matagal ko nang plano ito. Kasi dati gumawa na ako ng Wanted Perfect Mother na musical na movie. Natutuwa ako eh, kasi more than an artista, I am really a singer. So if I can mix that, why not? Last year kasi iba ‘yung ginawa ko, but I wanted to do this. In a way na rin I’m lucky to do this [now] kasi uso ngayon ang mga musicals so parang madali na siyang i-push kasi may nakaumang na sumikat na show na musical,” ang paliwanag niya sa press. 
A dream come true for her, Regine assured us that she is very much happy with her current project sa GMA and more importantly she will be staying sa Kapuso Network.

"Oh yes, very much! Kasi I'm doing two things that I love very much, which is acting and of course singing. And I'm with people that I really, really like."

At isa na dito si Jaya, which she personally convinced to be a part of Diva and who will be playing the role of her best friend in the story.

“I’ve been encouraging her. I’ve been telling her [that] she is one of the pinaka nakakatawang tao na nakilala ko sa buhay ko. Lagi niya akong pinapapaiyak sa kakatawa.”
