In a heartbreaking twist that sent shockwaves through both fans and loved ones, Asia’s Songbird Regine Velasquez was reportedly stunned after hearing devastating rumors claiming that her husband, Ogie Alcasid, had passed away. The false information, which rapidly spread across social media, caused widespread confusion, panic, and concern among their supporters—and deeply affected Regine herself.

“I Couldn’t Breathe for a Moment” – Regine’s Quiet Panic

According to sources close to the singer, Regine was in disbelief and immediately tried to contact her husband when she saw the misleading posts. Though Ogie was just a phone call away, those few minutes of uncertainty left her shaken.

“For a second, I froze. My heart stopped,” a source quoted Regine as saying. “You know these things happen online, but when it’s your loved one—your husband—it hits different.”

The couple, known for their genuine love and unwavering support for each other, has weathered many storms in showbiz, but this time, the emotional toll struck close to home.

Ogie Breaks His Silence: “Guys, I’m Alive and Well”

In a calm yet firm video message posted on Instagram and Facebook, Ogie Alcasid addressed the bizarre and disturbing rumor.

“To everyone who messaged, called, and prayed—thank you. But let me say it clearly: I’m very much alive, and by God’s grace, healthy and doing well,” Ogie said, smiling despite the situation.

He acknowledged the fear such rumors could bring, especially to family members and fans who might not immediately know the truth. “It’s not a joke. It’s hurtful. Please be careful with what you share,” he added.

Celebrities & Fans Condemn Fake News

The entertainment community didn’t stay quiet. Gary Valenciano, Zsa Zsa Padilla, and even Vice Ganda reposted Ogie’s message, calling out the dangers of online misinformation. Lea Salonga wrote: “Why do people do this? It’s cruel. Stop spreading death hoaxes!”

Fans also rallied behind Ogie and Regine, expressing outrage over the fake news and offering messages of love, protection, and support.

“Can we protect this couple at all costs?” one tweet read. “They’ve brought so much joy to us—don’t they deserve peace and truth too?”

The Growing Threat of Celebrity Death Hoaxes

This isn’t the first time a Filipino celebrity has fallen victim to a fake death report. With social media’s viral nature, death hoaxes have become a troubling trend, often shared without verification, leading to unnecessary fear and trauma.

Ogie’s situation reignites the call for digital responsibility, urging netizens to fact-check and show empathy before clicking ‘share.’

“We’re Okay. But Please, Be Kind.”

Regine and Ogie later shared a light-hearted photo together, holding coffee mugs that read “Still Breathing” and “Love Wins.” Regine captioned it simply:

“He’s here. He’s okay. And I love him very much. Please be kind with your words. We’re all human.”

In the end, the false rumor became a moment of reflection—a reminder that behind the glitz and glamour are real lives, real hearts, and real relationships. And for Regine and Ogie, love remains stronger than lies.
