Regine Velasquez On Angeline Quinto: 'Kayang-Kaya Niya Akong Ilampaso. Buti Na Lang, Nahihiya Siya.'

ANGELINE QUINTO cried anew at the “Royals” presscon. No, it’s not because of Erik Santos but because Regine Velasquez praised her and Erik to high heavens. “Sa rehearsal pa lang, they met all our expectations ni Martin sa kanila,” says Regine. “Kaya lang, di namin maintindihan, hanggang ngayon, parang nahihiya pa rin sila sa amin.”

Is it true she’s intimidated by Regine? “Hindi naman mawawala yun. Siempre, someone na iniidolo mo ever since, never kong pinangarap na makakasama ko, ngayon, makakasama ko pa on stage for the first big Valentine concert na kasama ako. Sobrang overwhelmed talaga ako sa blessing na ito,” and here’s where she starts to shed tears.

They’ll be doing a Whitney Houston medley, beast mode. Someone asks: “Kaya mo bang sumabay ng biritan kay Regine?”


It’s the Songbird who replies: “Kayang-kaya niya akong ilampaso sa rehearsals kung gugustuhin niya. Totoo ‘yan ha. Buti na nga lang, nahihiya siya. Nirerespeto niya ako dahil mashonders na ako. Malaki naman ang pasasalamat ko sa kanya sa respetong ‘yon. At least, hindi ako nilampaso ‘di ba? Naawa siguro sa akin. Pero sa concert mismo, performance mode na yan. Ganun din ako noong araw, pag concert na, parang sinasaniban ako.”

“Ay hindi ko po magagawa yun kahit kanino. Hindi ako nananapaw. Hinding-hindi, lalo sa kay Ms. Rege na napakabait niya, tinutulungan ako. Di gaya ng ibang singers.”

She revealed that there’s one co-singer in ASAP who told management he doesn’t want to sing with her. “Baka raw magkalat ako at madamay pa siya.”

She was asked about the identity of the singer but she refuses to reveal it. “Wag na po. Kinukuha na niya akong guest, e.”

Has she met Erik’s ex-GF, Rufa Mae? “Yes, nagkita kami sa isang concert ni Erik noon at nagpa-picture pa kami together. We tried to trace kung relatives kami kasi pareho kaming Quinto, but magkaiba kami ng probinsiya, e.”

“Royals” will be staged tonight at MOA Arena and tomorrow at Waterfront Cebu.
