Ogie Alcasid, along with his wife, Regine Velasquez, has recently issued a warning to the public regarding fake news circulating about their supposed concert in Dubai. The Filipino singer-host took to his Instagram account to address the issue, expressing concern over the misleading information being spread online.
In his Instagram post, Alcasid shared a screenshot of an article promoting their 2014 concert in Dubai, clarifying that it was not an upcoming event but rather a repost of an old concert. He urged his followers not to be deceived by the fake news, emphasizing, “Guys this is fake news!! This was an actual 2014 concert but someone reposted it. We are not having a concert in Dubai. Pls po wag kayo magpaloko. God bless everyone!”
The couple indeed performed in Dubai in 2010 and again in March 2014. However, there have been no official announcements regarding any upcoming concerts in the city. Alcasid’s statement serves as a reminder to verify information before believing and sharing it, especially on social media platforms where misinformation can easily spread.
Alcasid and Velasquez, renowned figures in the Philippine music industry, have been active in their careers for over a decade. They tied the knot in 2010 and have a son named Nate. Despite their successes, they have occasionally collaborated on projects, delighting their fans with their chemistry onstage.
In 2023, the couple continued to pursue their musical endeavors with separate shows. Velasquez held a solo two-night concert in February, while Alcasid presented his “Ogieoke The Concert” in September. Their dedication to their craft and loyal fan base have contributed to their enduring popularity in the entertainment industry.
Apart from the fake news about their Dubai concert, Velasquez recently found herself amid resurfaced old controversies. A video of her and actor Robin Padilla sharing a kiss, originally part of the promotion for their movie together, circulated online. Some speculate that this resurfacing may be a diversionary tactic orchestrated by Mariel Padilla to shift attention away from her recent controversy involving a purported “gluta drip session” at the Senate, which Mariel clarified as a vitamin C injection.
However, for others, it’s simply seen as Mariel’s way of grabbing attention once again, sparking discussions across social media platforms. The incident underscores the complexities of navigating fame and public scrutiny in the digital age, where old content can resurface and new controversies can quickly overshadow previous ones.
