Ogie Alcasid
HABANG tumatagal at lumilipas ang panahon ay mas lalo pang nai-in love sa isa’t isa ang celebrity couple na sina Ogie Alcasid at Regine Velasquez.
Paglalarawan ng Ultimate Singer-Songwriter sa pagsasama nila ng Asia’s Songbird nasa “peak” daw sila ngayon ng kanilang married life.
Inamin ni Ogie na hindi rin perfect ang pagsasama nila ni Regine, may mga pagkakataong nagkakaroon din sila ng away o tampuhan pero mas pinipili nila lagi ang magkaayos at intindihin ang isa’t isa.
“We’re so in love. We can’t get enough of each other. When I hear stories about couples breaking up, I get sad.
“One time, it had me and my wife talking, ‘Paano ba natin nagagawa ‘to? What are we doing right?’ And I think one of the reasons is we laugh together,” pahayag ni Ogie nang makachikahan namin at ng ilan pang members ng entertainment media para sa promo ng kanyang upcoming “Ogieoke The Concert.”
Ayon sa singer-comedian, bahagi na ng buhay mag-asawa ang iisunderstandings at tampuhan, “I think those things are important, too, situations that you can just laugh at after. We’re old and we have nothing to prove,” aniya pa.
Inamin din ni Ogie na nagiging mas “emo” (emote) raw siya ngayon, “I cry so easily. There was one contestant (sa Tawag ng Tanghalan) who dedicated a song to her father.
“I got so emotional because I remembered my late father. And then, there was this discussion with Vice Ganda about fighting for love despite past heartbreaks,” sabi pa ng isa sa mga hurado ng “TNT.”

“And so much emotion came out as I talked about my first marriage and I was blessed to be given another opportunity to love and be loved again. I can’t say for sure why.
“But I’m very sensitive these days. I cry over Korean dramas. Maybe I’m just getting old?” natatawang chika pa ng mister ni Regine.
Super happy din si Ogie dahil maayos na maayos ang relasyon ng kanyang pamilya. Magkasundo ang anak nila ni Regine na si Nate at ang mga kids niya kay Michelle Can Eimeren na sina Leila at Sarah.
Friends din daw sina Regine at Michelle at okay sila ng asawa ng kanyang ex-wife na si Mark. Paano nga ba nagwo-work ang kanilang blended family?
“Mutual respect is important. The financial aspect, which is often overlooked, should also be in order. You have to be responsible.
“If you have commitments to your children with your previous spouse, then you should fulfill those,” aniya pa.
Samantala, mapapanood na ang “Ogieoke The Concert” sa September 29 sa Newport Performing Arts Theater. For tickets, call 0917 8189847 or 0917 8079387.
“All the songs’ lyrics will be displayed, so the audience can sing along. Concerts can be formal and stiff. But I want this one to be fun and lively. I even wrote a song in which I incorporated some of my spiels.
“Next to chismisan, karaoke is the Filipinos’ next most popular hobby. Because singing is fun. It’s a way of releasing a lot of our stresses in life. It’s not really a new concept, but I thought it would be fun in a concert setting,” aniya pa.
