“Bago matapos ang araw na ito nais ko lang magpasalamat sa lahat ng bumati nagpadala ng regalo at nakaalala sa birthday ko 😊 I also want to say thank you to my family, my son, and my husband for honoring my wishes kung paano ko gusto i-celebrate ang birthday ko,” she wrote.

“Nung bata pa ako kung ano anong party ang binibigay sa'kin but the truth is I never wanted a production number kinda party I just want to be with the people I love,” she admitted.

 

She revealed that her family hosted an early birthday celebration on Sunday, April 20, with a fun “bingo night.”

 

“Last Sunday I celebrated my birthday kasama ko mama ko mga kapatid at pamangkin ko at iba pang relatives siyempre asawa at anak ko at si bff ko. Nag super bingo kami 😂 I had a great time 😃,” she expressed.

 



 

On her actual birthday, Tuesday, April 22, Regine spent the day with her small group for a spiritual gathering. 

 

“Today I celebrated my birthday (by) hearing the Word Of GOD with our small group. I guess when you reach a certain age (sa madaling salita tumatanda ka na )😂,” she said.

For Regine, creating memories with loved ones has become her priority.

 

“Ang importante ngayon ay creating memories hindi na yung mga magarbong celebrations or parties. It’s creating memories with the people I care about and these wonderful memories I will cherish for a long time,” she remarked. “So thank you again for remembering 😊.”

 



 

Her husband, singer-songwriter and It’s Showtime host Ogie Alcasid, also paid tribute to her on social media, sharing a photo from their group gathering.

 

“On her birthday, Regine decided to treat our small group to a dinner where she cooked every meal. Coach B and Ivy lead us with the sharing and after 14 years, it is heartwarming to know that all of our small group mates have had walks of growth in faith with our Lord and Savior,” Ogie shared.

 



 

Celebrating Regine’s special day, he expressed, “Baba, we are inspired by your ministry of cooking as you make sure we are nourished by the food and by the word as well. Happy birthday my love. ❤️🙏.”
