Ogie: Regine's 'my only one, the last in my life'

Ogie Alcasid for the first time on television spoke extensively and endearingly of girlfriend, Regine Velasquez. Keeping his promise to Startalk, Ogie obliged to be interviewed by the said showbiz talk show program before leaving last Thursday for the States for a series of shows. Reacting on Regine's statement that she's afraid of the consequences, much more the backlash, that would surely be inflicted against them brought by Ogie's candid confession to YES! magazine about their relationship, Ogie had this to say: "Huwag ka ng matakot. Mahal na mahal naman kita. Mag-rest ka na ‘dun sa love ko kasi hindi kita pababayaan." Ogie admitted being surprised when Regine made a speech during the presscon of Pinoy Pop Superstar held last May 21 in which she reaffirmed Ogie's brave admission and reiterated how special the singer-songwriter is to her life. According to Regine, she opted to give her piece during the event to show Ogie that they're together in fighting for their love. "I was surprised but I was also very touched by what she did," said an emotional Ogie. Interestingly, Ogie divulged during the interview that as much as he kept his silence throughout the years to protect Regine, he was also doing the same in finally admitting the long-rumored relationship. "Kaya nga ako umamin para ako na lang ang tirahin," he quips. "Just attack me. Say what you have to say about me kahit ‘di n'yo alam ang totoo." Ogie also made it clear that although he was already falling for Regine during the latter part of his marriage, Regine wasn't the primary reason why his union with Michelle Van Eimeren crumbled. "Hindi naman sapaw. But whatever the reason why Michelle and I broke up is amin na lang," he defends. "Michelle and I are friends. In fact, she was the one who encouraged me to say it (his relationship with Regine)." In a rare display of tears, Ogie candidly intoned how happy he is with Regine: "She is the only one in my life and she'll definitely be the last." - Philippine Entertainment Portal
