Poor Señorita Premieres March 28 via GMA Telebabad: Regine Velasquez-Alcasid's Comeback via Primetime

Monday, March 28, 2016

A lot of us miss the Song Bird Ms. Regine Velasquez-Alcasid via teleseryes, her last was five years ago when she did I Heart You, Pare opposite Ding Dong Dantes. She then momentarily got busy with her family life since she got pregnant with Nate. Poor Señorita indeed is her much awaited comeback in the teleserye scene and for sure fans will love her fun and

quirky role.

In Poor Señorita, GMA 7’s latest primetime offering, Regine plays the character of Rita Villon, an heiress and successful owner of a perfume company. She is an obsessive-compulsive, perfectionist that is feared by all of her employees. She never had a boyfriend and has no interest in men but deep inside she longs for love and connection.

Rita is sad and lonely, and feared by her employees for being a strict and perfectionist boss. But in a twist of fate, Rita will find herself stripped of her wealth and dependent on five street children to survive.

On her way to gaining back all the things she lost, she stumbles upon five street children (Kyla, Charisse, Apol, Rambo, Girlie) played by Ayra Mariano, Jillian Ward, Miggs Cuaderno, Zymic Jaranilla and Caprice Cayetano, who will teach her the true value of life and happiness.
