"Pag nag-umpisa kami ng bagong show, huwag muna natin lakihan yung expectations sa atin. Ano lang muna, mag-enjoy muna tayo. When SOP started, it was just like that. Let's just do our thing. Let's not expect anything. Huwag muna tayong mag-expect na mataas na rating. Just do concert on TV. That was the theme of SOP," says Regine Velasquez about the end of SOP and the beginning of Party Pilipinas.

"It wasn't really my decision to do that," diin ni Regine. "Kasi like I said, SOP really is a fun show to do. It's sad that I'm not really always there. Kasi nga bilang ang dami kong raket, pero..."
Late last year ay nag-reformat ang SOP pagkatapos "mag-resign" ng dati nitong executive producer na si Perry Lansigan at ginawang SOP Fully Charged ang title ng show. Sa palagay ba ni Regine ay nakaapekto ang pagre-reformat ng show nila sa pagbaba ng ratings nila?
"Actually nung time na nag-ano sila, hindi ako pumapasok nun, e. Kasi yun yung time na nagkakasakit ako nun, e. I don't really know what happened. But when I started to do SOP again, I just heard that they're gonna finish it na. So, sabi ko, 'A, okay, that's sad.' I don't know the whole story behind it. I've been hearing stories but..."
Pero nararamdaman ba ni Regine sa kanyang sarili na malaki na ang ipinagbago ng SOP, na parang hindi na siya nag-e-enjoy?
"May konting stress ng konti, hindi sa akin pero dun sa mga kasama ko, yung staff," pag-amin ng singer-actress. "Nararamdaman ko yung stress nila. Unlike before na it was just really fun, medyo nawala 'yon. So I guess okay na rin na mag-e-end siya for us to be able to start...bago na ulit. Para mawala na rin yung... May bad vibes na, e.
"'Tsaka yung para din sa staff. Kawawa sila kasi sobra na silang pressured. At least, pag nag-umpisa kami ng bagong show, huwag muna natin lakihan yung expectations sa atin. Ano lang muna, mag-enjoy muna tayo. When SOP started, it was just like that. Let's just do our thing. Let's not expect anything. Huwag muna tayong mag-expect na mataas na rating. Just do concert on TV. That was the theme of SOP."
PARTY PILIPINAS. Ayon kay Regine, ito ang gusto nilang ibalik sa papalit na show sa SOP, ang Party Pilipinas, na magsisimulang umere sa March 21. Sila pa rin daw nina Ogie, Janno, at Jaya ang main hosts ng Party Pilipinas, kasama ang ilan pa nilang mga kasamahan sa SOP gaya nina Kyla, Jay-R, at ang La Diva (Jonalyn Viray, Aicelle Santos, and Maricris Garcia).
"Yun ang gusto naming ibalik sa Party Pilipinas: it's a concert TV," sambit ni Regine. "Dun naman kami pinapanood, e. Live yung kantahan, live band. Di ba? Feeling ko, yun talaga ang strength ng SOP."
Sinabi ng PEP kay Regine na hindi maiiwasan ang pagkukumpara sa SOP at sa katapat nilang programa sa ABS-CBN, ang ASAP. Ano sa palagay niya ang kakulangan ng SOP kumpara sa ASAP?
"I have to say maganda talaga yung ASAP," simula ni Regine. "Mga production numbers, talagang pinag-iisipan... Not that hindi pinag-iisipan yung sa SOP kasi they work so hard just be able to create one production number. Katakot-takot na bloodshed ito! Katakot-takot na hirap talaga ang dinadanas ng production para lang makabuo ng isang production number. Minsan lang, meron yung hit and miss. Minsan naghi-hit, minsan nagmi-miss.
"You also have to admit that there was a time na it was us on top and they were... Di ba? Kami naman yung maraming hits. Ngayon, sila naman yung mas madaming hits, sila yung nasa taas. Okay lang yun. Kasi na-experience din naman namin yung sila yung No. 1, kami parang wala lang. Okay lang yun.
"You know, the one thing I think that we lost...hindi naman lost, but we forgot is to just have fun. Masyado kaming na-stress sa ratings kasi the network... Of course, hindi naman namin ma-blame, they were expecting so much from the program. But the program was getting tired! It was just really getting tired from too much pressure, from too much intrigues, and from too much whatever," saad niya.
Will the viewers see more of her in Party Pilipinas?
"They'd probably see me more in the new show kasi talagang ito parang kina-career talaga namin, e," sabi ni Regine.
What could the viewers expect in Party Pilipinas?
"May ibang look. Yung production people siguro maraming mababago. Maraming mababago sa show, pero alam kong napakalaki ng expectations ng sangkatauhan sa show na ito. Pero sa akin, mas gusto ko lang mag-enjoy kasi yun lang dapat yun, e. Kaya kami pinapanood dahil they see us enjoying and it came to a point na parang minsan hindi na masyadong enjoyable.
"So I hope that this new show, yun lang, have fun, let's just do our thing, not expect anything big yet, you know. I hope the viewers, the fans, the loyal fans—'cause we still have more loyal fans, you know, meron pa ring gano'n. We hope that our viewers will help us also... Kasi, siyempre, we're starting again, sana tulungan kami na makapag-umpisa ulit, mapasaya sila, maging proud sila ulit na nanood sila ng...well, now it's called Party Pilipinas."
