Ogie and Regine at the Verdant Pavillion

Place: Bingag, Panglao, Bohol, Philippines

Once in a while, Boholanos get lucky and popular performers hold concerts in the province. Last February, as a Valentine treat, Ogie Alcasid and Regine Velasquez held a very enjoyable concert that included some standup comedy from Ogie.

The Verdant Pavillion at Panglao Island Nature Resort is a favorite venue for concerts like this. It is also a very good venue for wedding reception, by the way.

The crowd is easily more than a few thousand and probably a bit shy for the performers. Ogie complained though that the ladies kissing him are “matronas” or mothers on the more mature end. Some of the audience drew applause when they participated in a sing-along with Ogie.

Regine sang a very funny song that sounded like Korean but actually had Filipino lyrics. She then reminded everyone that we watch too much Koreanovelas (Korean soap operas) that we start to understand the language already.

Looking forward to another concert at the Verdant Pavillion.
