Mang Gerry, 76, the father of Asia's song bird Regine Velasquez passed away today due to heart failure. The singer-actress confirmed the news through Twitter " The leader of the band, Mang Gerry, joined his creator at 1:39pm. Thank you for praying for him during all this time that he has been fighting for his life. God bless you all".
The all supportive father who is always seen present at her concerts could no longer attend Regine's concert, "Voices of Love" this Valentine's Day. "We are hoping he'd be strong enough to watch."
Celebrities posted messages of condolences in social media. Miss Saigon star Lea Salonga said on Facebook " Rest in peace, Mang Gerry. I will always remember you as a fixture by Reg's side at gigs from when we were young ones in the biz. Always present, forever supportive. I don't think of Reg without thinking of you.
There is no Regine Velasques without Mang Gerry. He trained the power belter during her youth by submerging her neck-deep in the sea. He exposed her to various singing competitions while she was young.
Our condolence to the family.
Watch Regine's heartfelt performance, as a tribute to his father, Gerardo Velasquez. The Dan Fogelberg's Leader of the Band is his favorite song.
