It has been nearly five years now since Regine Velasquez fell in love. No matter how short-lived it was, it definitely became unforgettable episode in her adult life, as Regine learned how it was to love and be loved by someone.
Up to this day, however, another man has yet to conquer the heart of Regine. It may be unfair to say that the singer has become jaded about relationships, but Regine probably wants to be more careful this time around before plunging into another serious involvement.
In her recent movie for Viva Films, “Dahil May Isang Ikaw,” Regine probably felt her heart flutter anew when she was given a chance to be paired with Aga Mulach for the first time.
Aga has been vocal about his crush on Regine and not a few on the set of the movie saw how the two stars have become even closer now.
If ever Aga courts Regine, the singer’s dad, Mang Gerry, who’s known to be a formidable presence everywhere Regine goes to, says he will not be against the romance.
“Aga is okay,” Mang Gerry told us, “He’s kind. I’m not the one choosing or deciding when it comes to those things. Wherever Regine is happy, it’s okay with me.”
Aga, however, was careful not to make his special feelings for his costar get in the way of their working relationship.
Will he still pursue Regine even after the movie is shown?”It’s very hard to pursue Regine at this point because she’s so busy and I know she has a dream to conquer,” Aga said. “She is bent on making it in the international music scene. I only wish for her success.”
“Dahil May Isang Ikaw” will premiere at 7:30 p.m. at SM Megamall Cinema 9. Of course, Regine and Aga will be there, as well as the other love-team in the movie - Dino Guevarra and Kim de los Santos.
Aga, in fact, is said to be cooking up a gimmick for the premiere, unknown to even to his costars.
Regine gets to record the theme song, “Ikaw,” which, incidentally, was also the movie of her erstwhile.
