Sheryn Regis launches her first original song after 10 years of absence from PH

April 5 ------ Singer Sheryn Regis, who took a break from performing and relocated to the United States to take care of her family, said she returned to finally focus on her craft now that her only child has turned 18 and is considered a legal adult. “I can say that it’s now my time to shine. I dedicated myself to taking care of my daughter, and now that she’s considered a grown-up herself, it’s time to turn my attention to what I really love doing,” Sheryn told reporters during a media gathering to launch her new single “Tulad ng Dati.”

Sheryn’s daughter, Lourdes “Sweety” Echiverri, is based in Houston, Texas. While she is currently a junior high school student, Sheryn said Sweety is also working part-time, aside from attending karate lessons and playing violin. “She is so proud of the fact that she is already working. We’ve both decided that I should also go back to the work I left behind in the Philippines. This is why I’m here,” Sheryn explained.

While in the US, Sheryn worked as a part-time teacher, too. “I had just taken my licensure exam when I joined show biz. I never had a chance to actually pursue the profession that I studied for. I taught in the US when I was given an opportunity because I wanted to be able to practice it. It turned out well,” she declared. Sheryn said juggling being a mom to Sweety and being an artist had been tough. “I admit that I wasn’t the ideal mom to her. When I took a break, I never regretted my decision. While growing up, I was able to provide for her, give a good life. I was able to impart values to her that I also practiced myself,” Sheryn said.
