Asia’s Songbird Regine Velasquez-Alcasid has expressed her desire to open a dialogue with President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., sharing her growing frustration over ongoing social and environmental issues in the country.

In a candid interview, Regine admitted that while she never considered herself a political person, recent events—particularly the flooding in Cebu—moved her to speak more openly. She explained that witnessing injustice and repeated disasters made her feel compelled to take action rather than remain silent.

Regine emphasized that her intention is not confrontation but conversation. She revealed her willingness to gather support from the entertainment industry to advocate for environmental protection, especially for Sierra Madre, saying she simply wants an audience to express her concerns and offer help.

Despite her successful career, Regine shared that she sometimes feels powerless when faced with systemic issues such as corruption, flooding, and high taxes paid by citizens. Still, she believes that speaking up is necessary and hopes dialogue can lead to accountability and meaningful change.

Her statement sparked mixed reactions online—some praised her courage, while others debated whether entertainers should engage in political discourse. Regardless, Regine’s message highlights a growing sentiment among public figures who feel a responsibility to speak when issues affect everyday Filipinos.

Regine Velasquez Speaks for the Storms: ‘Who Allowed Our Mountains to Die?’ — A Cry for Accountability After Typhoons Tino and Uwan

As Typhoons Tino and Uwan leave parts of the Philippines submerged in tragedy, voices of conscience are rising — one of them, legendary singer Regine Velasquez.

The Asia’s Songbird took to Instagram to condemn the continued neglect of the environment and government complicity in the country’s worsening flood disasters.

“Sino ba ang nagbigay ng permiso butasin ang ating kabundukan, putulin ang mga puno, sirain ang karagatan?!” Regine wrote, furious over the damage caused by greed and apathy.

💔 A VOICE BEYOND MUSIC

Regine’s post wasn’t just anger — it was a lamentation for a dying land.
She accused agencies of granting permits for mining, deforestation, and pollution, destroying the country’s natural shield against storms.

“Hindi na natin maibabalik ito sa dating ganda. Sino pa ba ang magsasalba sa atin pag may bagyo?”

Her words hit home for Filipinos in Cebu, Samar, and Northern Luzon, where entire communities are still recovering from record floods.

⚡ A NATION’S CONSCIENCE

Velasquez’s outburst mirrored the growing public frustration toward government projects that prioritize profit over protection.

“Sinira n’yo na lahat para saan? Sa kayamanang ‘di n’yo madadala sa hukay!” she said.

It’s not the first time Regine spoke up for the environment — she’s long supported causes linked to climate action, animal welfare, and disaster relief.
Her message now resonates even stronger in the wake of the flood control controversy and corruption allegations haunting infrastructure agencies.

✅ 📖 FAITH MEETS FACTS REFLECTION

“The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.” — Genesis 2:15

God designed leadership as stewardship, not ownership.
When we exploit creation for greed, we destroy both the land and the soul of a nation.
Regine’s cry is more than celebrity outrage — it’s prophetic truth wrapped in pain.

As the floods recede, her question remains unanswered: Who allowed our mountains to die?
Until we face that truth, the storms will keep returning — louder, stronger, and angrier. 🌧️💔
