  Asia’s Songbird Regine Velasquez formalized her transfer to ABS-CBN with a much publicized contract signing last Wednesday according to ABS-CBN News.

  The songbird became emotional with the warm welcome she received from the Kapamilya station.  But her homecoming was accompanied with a lot of rumors, including one that claims that she was offered 500 Million pesos to switch networks.

  Velasquez clarified these accusations in a press conference and stated that she did not move to ABS-CBN because she can’t refuse such offer.  “You know at my age and at this stage of my career, we all know, alam niyo, lahat naman ng mga reporters dito mga kaibigan ko na. Hindi naman ako ilusyonadang tao. Alam ko naman ang lugar ko sa industry. Kaya sobra akong touched na touched sa welcome na ibinigay sa akin ng ABS-CBN, kasi hindi ko akalain na ganun ako ka-importante. Hindi po ako ilusyonadang tao,” Velasquez said.

  She stressed that the main reason she moved to the kapamilya network is for her to fulfill her dream of working with the country’s No. 1 network before she retires. “The reason I’m here is because hindi ko alam kung hanggang kailan ko pa kayang kumanta and I want to work with their talented singers. ‘Yun talaga ‘yon. Na bago man lang matapos ang career ko ay masasabi kong nakatrabaho ko rin ang No. 1 station,” Velasquez explained.
