MGA ka-BANDERA, payag ba kayo sa panawagan ng mga fans na gawin nang National Artist for Music ang Asia’s Songbird na si Regine Velasquez?
Ito ang isinusulong ngayon ng mga supporters at social media followers ng OPM legend at TV icon matapos niyang tanggapin ang kanyang award sa Billboard Philippines’ Women in Music.
Talagang naging top trending topic ang pangalan ni Regine kahapon sa X (dating Twitter) at iba pang socmed platforms dahil sa panawagan na ibigay na sana sa kanya ng Marcos administration ang pagkilala bilang National Artist for Music.
