Recently, GMA Network Senior Vice President and Entertainment Group Head Lilybeth Rasonable released an official statement on Regine’s decision to leave the Kapuso network.
“After two decades, Regine Velasquez-Alcasid has officially said her goodbyes to the Kapuso Network. We understand her decision to join her husband and we wish her well as she pursues other opportunities outside GMA Network," the GMA executive said.
It is not clear yet what Regine’s first project as a Kapamilya will be, but reliable sources from the network told Philstar.com that the Songbird will become a coach for ABS-CBN’s hit reality singing contest, “The Voice PH,” where her friend, Sharon, is also a judge.
It is still uncertain whether Regine will replace Lea Salonga as “The Voice PH” judge since Lea told reporters in a recent press conference for her 40th anniversary concert that she is now fully booked for the first half of 2019, and returning for another season of “The Voice PH” is not yet on her schedule.
