Regine Velasquez sets ‘Finale’ concert at MOA Arena in October

It may be recalled that in an interview with Billboard Philippines, the iconic Filipina singer revealed that she is preparing to take what could be her final bow on the big concert stage as she celebrates her 40th year in the music industry.

Opening up about retirement, the singer described it not as an ending, but as a shift in purpose—one that allows her to embrace music on her own terms.

“It’s different now. I’ve gotten older and for women kasi it’s different. My voice has gone through a lot of changes, but somehow I’m still able to pull through, pero nowadays it’s more difficult. Parang ’pag nadadagdagan ng digits ’yong edad ko, parang nababawasan ’yong boses ko. It’s getting more difficult to sing,” she said.

In the same interview, Asia’s Songbird also reflected on the changes she now faces as a performer in a rare moment of vulnerability.

“When I was younger, I opened my mouth and there was a voice because when I open my mouth, there really is a voice. No matter if I’m sick or whatever, or I’m dying, rain or shine, I open my mouth and there is a voice. Nowadays, it’s not like that anymore, only because I’ve gotten older and I think people don’t understand that. Actually, I also don’t understand that,” she admitted.

Currently, only the dates and venue have been announced, while no other details have been released.
