Angeline Quinto to celebrate 15th year with concert and film

As she celebrates 15 years in the entertainment industry, powerhouse diva and actress Angeline Quinto is set to make 2025 a milestone year with a grand concert and a highly anticipated comeback film.

In an interview with the DAILY TRIBUNE, Quinto shared her excitement about commemorating her journey and giving back to her fans.

“Meron po akong isang napakalaking concert na gagawin this year, and gusto ko talaga siyang i-celebrate for my 15th year at the same time birthday concert ko. Iyan po ang pinaghahandaan naming ngayon. Meron rin po akong isang pelikula na gagawin ngayong taon na sana maging maayos lahat at ipagkaloob sa akin ni Lord,” she revealed during her endorsement deal with You Glow Babe as its newest brand ambassador.

(I have a major concert to do this year, and I want to celebrate it for my 15th year and at the same time my birthday concert. That's what we're preparing for now. I also have an upcoming movie this year that I hope will go well and that the Lord will bless me.)

Quinto is also thrilled to return to acting, calling her upcoming film a fresh and exciting challenge after her last movie, Foolish Love, in 2017.

“Medyo matagal na rin iyung last time na gumawa ako ng movie. Ilang taon na rin ’yun, so ngayon po parang kakaiba nanaman ang feeling,” she admitted.

(It's been a while since I last made a movie. It's been a few years, so now it feels a bit different.)

She described the story of her new film as unique and unlike anything she has done before.

“Noong nabasa ko po ang istorya na ito, sobra akong na-excite kasi talagang kakaibang istorya siya. Pero ayoko rin naman na gawin itong movie na ’to nang wala akong training ulit. So bago ko siya gawin, baka bumalik rin muna ako ng workshop para alam ko sa sarili ko na ready ako ulit na gumawa ng movie,” she explained.

(When I read this story, I was really excited because it was a really unique story. But I also didn't want to make this movie without training again. So before I'm going to do it, maybe I'll go back to the workshop so that I know for myself that I'm ready to make a movie again.)

Alongside her film, Quinto is also preparing for a major concert to celebrate her 15-year journey. She remains dedicated to her craft by continuously training with vocal coaches.

“Mag-fifteen years na rin po kasi ako sa industry next year, thank you, Lord, kasi umabot ako dito. Hindi ko rin kinakalimutan iyung mga taong tumulong sa akin noong nagsisimula ako. Kaya hanggang ngayon kapag may chance, nag-voice lesson po ako kay Teacher Annie Quintos. Siyempre, hindi naman laging kondisyon ang boses ko, lalo na kapag may mga shows out of town and out of the country,” she said.

(I will be celebrating 15 years in the industry next year, thank you, Lord, for letting me make it this far. I also never forget the people who helped me when I was starting out. So until now, whenever I have the chance, I take voice lessons from Teacher Annie Quintos. Of course, my voice is not always in great condition, especially when there are shows out of town and out of the country.)

Quinto also opened up about how motherhood has affected her voice after giving birth to her children, Sylvio and Sylvia.

“Honestly, noong nanganak po ako doon sa first baby ko kay Sylvio, naramdaman ko talaga na medyo nagbago po ang boses ko. Nagtanong ako kay Ms. Reg (Regine Velasquez) at sa mga co-singers ko na mommy na rin, normal naman daw po iyun. So binigyan ko ng time ang sarili ko na maibalik ang dating boses ko, and bumalik naman siya,” she shared.

(Honestly, when I gave birth to my first baby with Sylvio, I really felt that my voice had changed a bit. I asked Ms. Reg (Regine Velasquez) and my co-singers who are also mommies, and they said it was normal. So I gave myself time to get my old voice back, and it did come back.)

And when asked if there are songs she avoids, Quinto humorously responded:

“Parang wala. As in wala. Kasi iyan ang lagi kong paalala sa sarili ko — na kahit mahirap, gagawin ko iyan. Kasi alam ko, darating ang time na hindi ko na siya magagawa. Ayokong mag-sisi na kung kailan matanda na ako, bakit hindi ko pa ginawa noong time na kayang-kaya ko pa naman. So kahit anong songs, kaya ko naman,” she proudly quipped.

(None. Because that's what I always remind myself — that even though it's hard, I'll do it. Because I know, there will come a time when I won't be able to do it anymore. I don't want to regret anything when I'm old... why I didn't do it when I was still able to. So, no matter what songs, I will do them.)

As she embraces changes in her body, Quinto also revealed how she maintains her youthful glow with You Glow Babe.

“Oo, lalo na kasi may baby ako. Siyempre, gusto ko ’yung gagamitin kong produkto safe din sa baby. And nung sinubukan ko ito, ito rin pala ang kailangan ng skin ko kasi medyo sensitive rin ako sa beauty products. Kaya thank God nakita ko na effective sa akin ang You Glow Babe,” she shared.

(Yes, especially now since I have a baby. Of course, I want the product I use to be safe for babies. And when I tried it, it turned out that this is what my skin needed because I am also a bit sensitive to beauty products, thank God, I found You Glow Babe, which is effective for me.)

Quinto rose to fame as the grand champion of ABS-CBN’s singing competition Star Power in 2011. Now, 15 years later, she continues to prove why she remains one of the country’s most beloved divas.
