I still recall the ’90s vividly, when April Boy Regino was a staple on noontime variety shows. While not everyone was drawn to his music, there was no
Nickie Wang denying his songs touched millions.
Kids of the ’90s would hum his tunes, and almost everyone tried his signature “X” pose with arms crossed in the air, particularly during the chorus of “Hindi Ko Kayang Tanggapin.” It wasn’t a shock that he managed to sell over 300,000 copies of his albums between 1995 and 2000—a considerable feat at the time.
Premiere WaterPlus Productions’ Executive Producer Marynette Gamboa had a ready answer: “We’ve always had in mind the fans of Idol April Boy Regino—or whoever remains of them.” Gamboa also noted that April Boy’s fans have grown older and are more likely to buy cinema tickets now. But she’s hopeful the film might pique younger audiences’ curiosity. Just as old hits like “Kiss Me, Kiss Me” by Efren Montes and “Maybe This Time” by Michael Murphy found a new life through modern remakes, April Boy’s gold and platinum hits might resonate again with audiences of all ages. “There’s something timeless about April Boy’s kindness and loyalty to his family,” Gamboa added.
