Regine was born in Manila, Philippines on April 22, 1970. She came from a poor family.
The family was so poor that her mother would not eat so she can give it to her children. They didn't have any TV so they would go to their neighbor to watch - the neigbor was very rude to them, they also didn't have water so they would shower under the rain with soap!
They moved to Leyte where she was trained by her father in the sea of Henundayan Southern Leyte.

Regine credits her parents for getting her involved in the music business when they let Regine join singing competitions in remote provinces, and to undergo intensive singing lessons led by her father.
