Playing a woman with an ugly face, Regine was able to sympathize with the likes of them because of the discrimination that they go through. Even though Regine's character has an extraordinary talent in singing, she had to cover her face with clothes or even mascot costumes so as not to "scare away" the people.Photography: Courtesy of GMA-70 Comment Show / Hide Comments Submit Comments | -
