To whoever wants to listen, and whoever cares to listen, we will share and mentor.”</p><div><br/></div><p>Regine concurred. “These kids, they actually come to us. Always,” she said. </p><div><br/></div><p>“<em>Meron kaming mga ginawa noon</em>,” Gary continued, “<em>kaya andito pa rin kami ngayon</em>. So that’s what we want to share with the younger generation, that there are things that will never change, and it has a lot to do with what’s in the heart.”</p><div><br/></div><p>“And we’re meant to share whatever experiences we’ve experienced in the past, we don’t want that to die with us,” Regine added. “We’re supposed to share that <em>kasi</em> what’s the point of learning all those things if you’re not able to share it with other people, <em>na</em> hopefully they can learn from what we’ve experienced <em>kasi</em> like you said, <em>pare-pareho lang naman ’yun, nag-iiba lang siguro ng sitwasyon</em>.”</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/9c4bc01b-bdb3-452b-8c92-5d881f5d250d_regine.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Regine Velasquez-Alcasid"/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">Regine Velasquez-Alcasid<span id="isPasted" style="color:rgb(65, 65, 65);letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;display:inline !important;float:none"><em> Photo by Oly Ruiz of Metrophoto for Brands  </em></span></span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>Asia’s Songbird continued: “As far as mentoring is concerned, I think it is such a blessing to be able to do that with the kids... They come to us <em>naman</em> all the time and like you said, it’s wonderful that they’re also interested to listen to us.”</p><div><br/></div><p>Gary even named singers Darren Espanto and Janine Berdin, for instance. </p><div><br/></div><p>“He’s very popular now,” Gary said of Darren. “But when I’m watching him, I think, I can still give him tips—but no longer to become popular, but to prolong. <em>Para humaba pa ’yung</em> career <em>niya</em>.”</p><div><br/></div><p>“These are the things that I feel I can help out,” Mr. Pure Energy continued, “people like Darren Espanto, Janine Berdin, you know the younger ones who I feel deserve—they’re already on the <em>ASAP Natin ’To</em> stage—but I feel they deserve so much more. Now <em>pa</em> where we’re seen everywhere, the stage is now as big as the phones we hold, so might as well perform your best because you’re reaching more people than ever before. So, nice to teach, nice to mentor.”</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/72ead2c6-3988-4726-8efa-bad9b67083c7_gary (1).jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Gary Valenciano"/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">Gary Valenciano<span id="isPasted" style="color:rgb(65, 65, 65);letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;display:inline !important;float:none"><em> Photo by Oly Ruiz of Metrophoto for Brands  </em></span></span></span></span></div><div class="article-content" itemProp="articleBody"><div class="media-content"><div class="slider-for"><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/4dfb82d7-d37e-46c9-a6ff-1e52166fd823_abs-cbn-contract-signing-kapamilya-strong-2022-regine-velasquez-alcasid-gary-valenciano-on-mentoring-landscape-thumb.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/6cd25b01-dba5-427f-a4ad-8294d9762550_oly09141 copy.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/0233565c-0d98-49c6-8cd1-81fb83cf6aea_oly09156 copy.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/7f2e1408-fdd2-4147-8738-9bf5a15374c8_oly09168 copy.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/1481b370-6d35-4d47-ac31-6f7df08ad909_oly09177 copy.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/7323f11c-d85c-46e6-8785-30473dedc28c_oly09216 copy.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/79082df2-7ef2-4b30-b62b-e03a6093b13d_oly09276 copy.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/747e4df7-ebf8-4961-afc0-87e63fd0994a_oly09358 copy.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/0d82f06f-10fc-41ce-9634-f22bca784336_oly09391 copy.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/2cb2f919-731c-4a0f-ba9e-c69d5be0dfb6_oly09328 copy.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/64341f0b-9618-473a-8758-3728e087a5fb_oly09309 copy.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div></div><div class="media-content slider-desc"><div class="item-desc"><div></div></div><div class="item-desc"><div></div></div><div class="item-desc"><div></div></div><div class="item-desc"><div></div></div><div class="item-desc"><div></div></div><div class="item-desc"><div></div></div><div class="item-desc"><div></div></div><div class="item-desc"><div></div></div><div class="item-desc"><div></div></div><div class="item-desc"><div></div></div><div class="item-desc"><div></div></div></div></div></div><div><br/></div><p>Media conference host Darla Sauler also added that the staff members are often witnesses to how Regine and Gary would mentor on the spot behind the scenes on <em>ASAP Natin ’To. </em>Regine shared, <em>“</em><em>At tsaka meron ding </em>mentoring <em>na hindi lang</em> performances or <em>sa pagkanta</em>, <em>meron din</em> about life. <em>Kasama din ’yun</em>.
