Martin Nievera Confesses His Past Sins: "I'm Not Good At Marriage, Naging Babaero Ako"

MARTIN NIEVERA says his Valentine concert with Regine Velasquez, Gary Valenciano and Lani Misalucha, “Ultimate”, maybe considered as a big event in the local music scene because it’s the first time the four of them perform together on the same stage.

“This has been planned several times but di natutuloy since our schedules won’t jibe,” he says. “Finally, 2015, we’re able to do it and all our fans should watch it now dahil baka hindi na maulit pa uli.”

So who gets the highest talent fee among them? “Know what, more than anything, it’s the experience of singing with this group that counts. It’s priceless. I’m very excited about this, so fee or no fee, I will do this. At this point in our careers, matagal nang talent fee is not a primary consideration. Nagbaba na kami ng mga presyo.”

The fans of his love team with Pops Fernandez are wondering when they’ll perform together again. “I know! Everywhere I go, people still ask me ‘Where’s Pops?’ Kahit alam na nilang matagal na kaming hiwalay. Some fans continue to hope that we’ll reconcile but it’ll be an injustice to Pops. Alam ko namang kasalanan ko kasi naging babaero ako. I’m so ashamed of the pain I caused her through those years. No matter how happy she looks and how friendly we are today, I know that I’ve hurt her and she gave me nothing but faithfulness, loyalty, two beautiful children. So my guilt is endless. So I don’t want to hurt this woman again as I cannot promise that if I go back to someone like my ex-wife, I’d already be perfect. How many men do you know who promised that the second time around, he’ll be perfect? E ako, I admit, I’m not very good at marriage. But whoever marries me next, suwerte niya kasi I’ve somehow learned all my lessons. But I’m still very much afraid of taking that leap. Very afraid. And I think, Pops is, too. What’s funny is that I’m so in demand as a wedding singer now. And I always tell the grooms, don’t follow on my footsteps, because I believe in marriage, in family, and in loving someone forever, but I failed, so learn your lessons from me.”

Martin’s “Ultimate” concert with Regine, Gary and Lani will be this Friday and Saturday, February 13 and 14, and we heard only few tickets are left, with the Friday show already sold out, so get your tickets now.
