ASIA’S Songbird Regine Velasquez-Alcasid called Cebuana and Kapamilya singer Morisette Amon “the new queen.”

The two singers performed “Akin Ka Na Lang” (an original song written by Francis Louis “Kiko” Salazar) and Martin Nievera’s “You Are My Song.”
After the performance, the Songbird told Amon, “You are incredible. Grabe kasi parang natutuwa ako na you just waited. You waited for your turn.
And now this is your turn. I just wanna say, I think we have produced another super star. You are one of the best, if not the best.”
