Mini bio
How it started.
Before fans knew her as Regine, she performed as Chona Velasquez and entered amateur singing contests. In a PEP interview, she recalled winning Ang Bagong Kampeon in 1984 and the difficult stretch that followed. Ronnie Henares became her first manager and changed her professional name.
Finding her audience.
Her self-titled debut album arrived in 1987. Winning the Asia Pacific Singing Contest in Hong Kong in 1989 brought wider recognition. Her catalogue grew to include the Jacky Cheung duet In Love With You, Dadalhin, and film music such as Kailangan Ko’y Ikaw, a movie in which she also starred.
Music and television.
Alongside recording and concerts, she has hosted Magandang Buhay and performed on ASAP. She also served as a judge on the first two seasons of Idol Philippines. In 2026, she marked 40 years in the industry with Finale and the physical album Golden Hours.
