Verni Varga is known in the Philippine Music Industry as “The Vamp” — an immensely powerful seductress whose impeccable showmanship and amazing voice tempted and captured the hearts of her countless fans not only here in the Philippines but around the world as well.

First, a reminder: Verni is spelled without an "e" at the end as most people often do. Thus, Verni Varga.


"It’s short for Viernes, given to me by my mom," Verni, whose real name is Ignacia Mabugat (from Bantayan Island, Cebu) told Funfare in a one-on-one. "My mother said I was born on a Friday, so she decided to call me Verni for short."

                    [Summary] => 

I first saw sultry singer Verni Varga in person more than two decades ago. It was the graduation ball of UP Law Batch ’83 which included my husband Paul (then my boyfriend) held at the Malacañang Palace (Rep. Imee Marcos is a member of this prestigious batch). I remember us ladies wondering who the sexy lady was, seated all by herself, seemingly bored yet oozing with sex appeal, making us all insecure and wanting to tear down her perfect hair and makeup.

                    [Summary] => She is, without a doubt, one of the most scintillating performers ever to come out of the local music scene. 


Her voice is truly magical, crystal clear and passionate. Her stage manners exude effortless élan. She belongs to a rare breed of entertainers, one that harks back to the glory days of the OPM era. 


And yet she still remains just as vibrant and vivacious as the day she first made a splash in showtown as the country’s one and only Vamp.
