Regine: She's better than ever

Asia's songbird Regine Velasquez, voted as MTV Asia's Favorite Artist last February in Singapore, is set to perform in a musical concert entitled "Regine at the Movies" at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco on Saturday, June 22 at 8 p.m. and at the Grand Olympic Auditorium in Los Angeles the next Saturday, June 29, at 8 p.m.

A concert dedicated to blockbuster movie hits, "Regine at the Movies" is guaranteed to entertain all generations from Lolos and Lolas to Nanays and Tatays, and the apos. For, aside from hit Filipino movie themes and her own favorites, Regine will be doing her rendition of timeless Hollywood film themes sure to evoke happy and bittersweet moments for her adoring fans.

Regine will be joined by her special guest, singer-songwriter Ogie Alcasid. A versatile entertainer, Ogie first made waves in the music industry in the late '80s. He popularized the well-loved Filipino ballads "Nandito Ako", "Mahal Kita, Walang Iba", "Sa Kanya" and "Pangako". Regine personally requested Ogie to compose a theme song for her movie with Robin Padilla in 2000.

The result was the passionate but melancholy "Kailangan Ko’y Ikaw" which launched Regine’s box office movie career. This was followed by "Pangako Ikaw Lang" with Aga Muhlach and "Ikaw Lang, Hangang Ngayon" with Richard Gomez. The movie themes for these two were again, Ogie Alcasid originals.

See the glamour of Regine Velasquez, and the talent of Ogie Alcasid, all in one show. Both are better than ever.
