So 60 people, 65 people ‘<i>yan</i>, the back-up singers, so l<i>ahat ‘yun, inaayos pa namin,</i> and of course, the guests,” said Regine at the <i>Pampers Slumber Party</i> held in The Peninsula Manila, Makati City. “But as soon as malaman<i> namin ‘yung </i>schedule, <i>mag-a</i>-annouce <i>na kami</i>.” She said that they plan to do the concert before Christmas.</div><div><br/></div><div><a href='http://Push.com.ph'>Push.com.ph</a> then asked the Songbird what she can assure her fans for her upcoming concert. “<i>Na may boses [na ako]</i>,” she quipped. “I’m trying to get well.</div><div><br/></div><div>“It was really unfortunate that I got sick the week of my concert and I got hit the day [of the concert] itself.
