Ogie Alcasid Says Wife Regine's Voice Got Even Better After Giving Birth

OGIE ALCASID says he became a fan all over again of his Songbird wife Regine Velasquez after he heard her singing to prepare for their Valentine concert, “Mr. & Mrs. A”, at the Big Dome on February 14. “Napapanganga ko when I hear her vocalizing kasi parang mas gumanda pa ang boses niya after she became a mom,” he says. “Nagpa-practice pa lang siya nun, ha. What more pag actual performance na. Kahit mahihirap na songs with birit, minamani lang niya.” See related article, Ogie Alcasid Says Wife Regine Velasquez Has Lost 30 Lbs. For Their Valentine Concert.

Regine confessed she suffered from post-partum blues. “When Nate was born, 4.4. lbs lang siya, ang liit-liit. I really want to breastfeed him but he didn’t know how to latch on my breast so nagpabili na lang kami ng mother’s milk sa breast milk bank. I was crying as I really want him to feed on me, may breastfeeding counsellors pa ko, but ayaw niya. Then one day, after two weeks, nilabas ko yung boobs ko, bigla na lang, dumede na siya on his own. So I said, ready na siya. At yun, ang bilis na ng laki niya. In two months, 9 lbs na siya.”

Ogie salutes Regine’s devotion to Nate as a mom. “Hindi siya natutulog. Kung minsan, nagigising ako sa madaling araw, karga niya si Nate at pinapadede. She talks to him constantly and tells him how much we as parents love him. Her style as a mom is really full of love.”

Regine, in turn, praises Ogie’s devotion to her. “Kahit nagmukhang elepante ako after gaining so much weight. Kung minsan, kapag nakaharap ako nun sa salamin, I feel so insecure kasi parang ibang tao na ang nakikita ko, but he never failed to reassure me na he loves me very much.”

Ogie wants to thank their friends who agreed to be guests in the Valentine show: Dingdong Dantes, Bubble Gang co-stars led by Michael V, Moymoy Palaboy and Sam Pinto, Vice Ganda, Erik Santos, Kyla, Angeline Quinto, and many more.
