During her successful pre-Valentine’s concert “#paMORE”, Asia’s songbird Regine Velasquez cracked a joke about the main reason why she has no plans of leaving GMA-7.
In the said concert, she performed with Martin Nievera, Erik Santos, and husband Ogie Alcasid. Velasquez said that among the performers, she was the only singer from the Kapuso network.
“Ako lang taga-Channel 7,” she said.
Santos then said to the singer to not speak too soon because she might change her mind and move to the rival network in the near future.
“Hindi, okay naman ako. Malaki ang bayad ko. Ang laki ng suweldo ko dun,” Velasquez told Santos.
After making such remark, the members of the audience bursted into laughter.
Though Velasquez’ exact net worth is not disclosed publicly, many online sources tag her as one of the richest celebrities in the Philippines.
Their concert #paMORE which was held last February 10 was a sold out concert wherein the four OPM singers performed cover and original songs and medleys.
One of Velasquez’ standout performances of the night was her rendition of Loren Allred’s “Never Enough”, one of the songs from the musical film “The Greatest Showman”.
