Manila, Philippines — The OPM icon and Asia’s Songbird, Regine Velasquez, is once again at the center of intense speculation after reports surfaced claiming that she is facing a formal complaint filed in the United States. While details remain limited and unverified, the news has taken the entertainment world by storm—prompting a public reaction from one of her closest industry peers, Vice Ganda.

What Sparked the Controversy?

The story began circulating on social media when a viral post alleged that Regine Velasquez was involved in an “unpleasant incident” during a private engagement abroad. According to the post, a group of individuals claimed to have submitted a complaint against the singer for reasons yet to be confirmed.

The document in question, allegedly filed with a U.S. agency, has not been released publicly, making it difficult to assess the truthfulness of the claims. As expected, fans were quick to defend Regine, calling the allegations “suspicious” and “possibly orchestrated.”

Vice Ganda Speaks Out

Adding fuel to the public’s curiosity, Vice Ganda, a long-time colleague and friend of Regine on the variety show It’s Showtime, addressed the issue during an impromptu interview after a recent taping.

“Regine is one of the kindest, most professional artists I know. Alam kong hindi niya basta-basta malalagay ang sarili niya sa ganyan,” Vice said, visibly concerned.

He added that until verified facts are presented, people should be careful not to spread potentially damaging rumors.

“Hindi natin alam ang buong kuwento. Let’s be fair,” he concluded.

Speculations Spread Online

Despite the lack of verified information, online speculation continues to run wild. Some netizens believe this could be related to a misunderstanding during an overseas performance or event, while others claim it could stem from a business-related disagreement with foreign partners.

There are also theories suggesting that this could be a targeted smear campaign, considering Regine’s ongoing visibility and influence in both the music and television industries.

Legal Team’s Silence Raises Eyebrows

As of now, Regine’s camp has not released an official statement, nor has her legal team addressed the alleged complaint. This silence has led fans to worry, while skeptics argue that the lack of denial may be “strategic” until more information becomes available.

Industry Support Growing

Beyond Vice Ganda, other celebrities have started to post cryptic messages online believed to be in support of Regine, using hashtags like #WeStandWithRegine and #TruthWillPrevail.

Entertainment reporters have noted that this might be one of the most high-profile issues involving a Filipino artist abroad in recent years.

What’s Next for Regine?

Until verified documents or official responses are revealed, the public is left guessing. Will Regine finally speak up? Will legal action be taken to clarify or dismiss the issue?

For now, fans are waiting — some in worry, others in loyalty — hoping that their beloved songbird will rise above this storm, just as she has in the past.

MANILA—There was no shortage of laugh-out-loud moments as Vice Ganda and Regine Velasquez sat down for a casual interview on Tuesday — a glimpse of what to expect from their first-ever joint concert series.

The duo took questions from press members during a break from a shoot for “The Songbird and The Songhorse,” which will be held at Araneta Coliseum on February 14, 15, and 16.

Close friends in real life, the two superstars could not help but crack jokes even as they were asked serious questions about what fans can look forward to in terms of outfits, guests, and performances.

But their unfiltered and hilarious responses were perhaps the best indication of what the unique collaboration has to offer, on top of bringing together arguably the best from two fields in showbiz — comedy and music
