"Thank you for spending your Valentine with us," Ogie Alcasid and Regine Velasquez said during their Mr. & Mrs. A concert, which was directed by Randy Santiago.

"Grabe naman 'yan, ang dami-daming tao!" remarked Ogie Alcasid about the crowd that filled Smart-Araneta Coliseum to the rafters last night, February 14.

Dubbed the Mr. & Mrs. A, his joint concert with wife Regine Velasquez-Alcasid was, as expected, a success!

Smiling, the Asia's Songbird quipped, "Ang dami nating kamag-anak."

After their opening, where they did a mash-up of "Without You" and "Moves Like Jagger," the singing couple engaged in repartee.

Here's a sampler...

"Napakasarap ng buhay may-asawa," the Songwriter began.

Regine threw in, "Aba, ewan ko sa 'yo. Ako, first time ko pa lang mag-asawa. Naka-ilan ka na ba?"

But their candid and funny spiels were just add-ons.

The "pulu-pulutong ng tao," which was translated by Ogie as "plenty" and "multitude" in English, all came for their first major collaboration on stage as husband and wife and the comeback of Regine after her nine-month hiatus from showbiz.

WELL-APPLAUDED NUMBERS. Their repertoire ranged from pop to '80s tunes to OPM hits.

After the opening, Ogie dished out Bruno Mars's "Marry You" and Train's "Hey Soul Sister," while Regine rendered her version of Beyonce's "Love on Top"—which the singer-actress described as "napakataas naman ng kantang 'yon."

To have the audience feel the Valentine fever, the Kapuso stars picked some OPM hits from the '80s—Ric Segreto's "Don't Know What To Say" and "Loving You," Odette Quesada's "A Friend of Mine," Raymond Lauchengco's "I Need You Back," Sharon Cuneta's "To Love Again," Jam Morales' "Even If," and Iwi Laurel's "Special Memory."

Next, they sang the duet version of "Tayong Dalawa," which was composed by Ogie for their wedding.

The concert's first guest was Dingdong Dates—whom Ogie introduced as "konti lang ang lamang sa akin"—did an Eraserheads medley with the Songwriter.

Included in their list of songs were "Magasin" "El Bimbo," "Huwag Mo Ng Itanong," "Overdrive," and "Pare Ko."

    I love these two, they only know that they are talented but never grew an ego nor lingers on ego tripping. They never take themselves seriously but they know that providing a balance of entertainment and quality is their goal in their shows. Great that they don't need to bring their high profile friends to watch the show para lang masabi successful, afterall, this is for the fans. They make it a point to work with new singers like Angeline Quinto. Kahit naman silang dalawa lang puno na Araneta. Congratulations Mr and Mrs A, more, more. The Philippines needs concerts like what you had!

    Number 19, hahaha, true that! that's the problem with the industry, madaming gahaman, sa exposure man o sa pera, ayaw nalalamangan sa hype and exposure, lagi gusto nila sila ang bida. May mga taong walang delikadesa at walang humpay sa pag take advantage ng mga fantards, milking them dry by using the stars whose only talent is dahil "uso" sila!

    regine and ogie are one of the nicest couples in showbiz. they have a lot of friends, and don't mind working with talents outside the kapuso network. sana ganyan lagi, para walang nega. tigilan na yang exclusive kapamilya or kapuso lang para hindi nali-limit sa iilang talents lang ang mga projects.

    Dun sa mga nagsasabing si Regine pa rin ang undisputed Queen of all Divas... TAMA KAYO DIYAN!!! And I am defiitely sure, kung sino man ang bet natin ngayon, mag-a-agree pa rin. Maka-Charice na po ako ngayon. Pero hindi ko makakalimutan yung mga panahon na si Regine ang talagang inidolo ko sa lahat ng mga divas. At hanggang ngayon pa rin naman. At hanggang ngayon, wala pa ring kupas. Jumabongga lang siya ng husto. Pero it doesn't matter. Dahil yung boses niya, yan ang tipong pang-National Artist. Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Alcasid for this successful concert.
