‘OH GILIW, NASA’N KA? BAKIT LUMISAN KA’ 💖
WATCH: Regine Velasquez performs her classic hit “Kailangan Ko’y Ikaw” before accepting her award for Woman of the Year at Billboard Philippines’ Women in Music awards. | @HMallorcaINQ
For four decades, Regine Velasquez-Alcasid has soundtracked love and loss, longing and celebration, across generations of Filipinos. It has echoed through concert halls and living rooms alike, heard in quiet moments as much as in grand ones.
To speak of Regine Velasquez-Alcasid is to speak of Filipino music itself.
In 2026, she marks her 40th anniversary in music, a chapter in her career that’s been defined by change, uncertainty, and rediscovery.
For her latest digital cover with Billboard Philippines, as she is set to be honored as this year’s Woman of the Year, we sit down with Asia’s Songbird as she reflects on the last 40 years, her never-dying love for music, the changes that come with age, and the meaning of legacy.
