Why Regine Velasquez Rejected To Work With Ai Ai De Las Alas & Marian Rivera In 'Sunday Pinasaya' & Chose To Do 'Starstruck 6'

REGINE VELASQUEZ admitted she originally agreed to be part of “Sunday PinaSaya” and she even already had her pictorial with supposed co-stars Ai Ai de las Alas and Marian Rivera. But she backed out just as the program was about to start. What happened?
“Kasali nga talaga ako and I was supposed to handle the show’s musical portions, but I was feeling bad kasi sa mga kasama ko sa dating Sunday noontime shows ng GMA, ako lang ang nakasama at siyang may work, at yung ibang mga kasama ko, nachugi na lahat,” she says. “Nahihiya naman ako sa kanila, so I explained this to Mr. Tony Tuviera (APT Productions boss who’s the producer of “Sunday PinaSaya”) at naintindihan naman niya.”

How did she feel now that “Sunday PinaSaya” is the number one show in its slot and has toppled its competitor? “I feel so happy for them. Magagaling naman sila talaga lahat doon. As for me, I’m so glad napasama naman ako sa bagong season ng Starstruck kasi first time ko maging judge dito. Excited na nga ako to see the 35 hopefuls kunsaan kukunin yung 14 finalists. In fairness, ang gaganda nila at sana matapatan ng angkop na talento ang kanilang ganda. I accepted Starstruck kasi once a week lang naman ito. Doon lang kami sa live edition every Friday night a-appear ng co-judges kong sina Tito Joey de Leon and Jennylyn Mercado. One hour lang yun and after that makakauwi na ako at daratnan kong gising pa noon ang anak kong si Nate, so I can personally put him to sleep. Alam nyo naman, siya talaga ang number one priority ko ngayon.”

“Starstruck, Season 6” will start airing on Monday, September 7, at 6 PM before “24 Oras:, with Dingdong Dantes and Megan Young as main hosts.
