Jane de Leon Explains Why Regine Velasquez’s Cameo In Darna Was Canceled
JANE DE LEON – Kapamilya actress Jane de Leon talked about Regine Velasquez’s canceled guesting in Mars Ravelo’s Darna.
Jane de Leon strongly refuted the spreading issue that she was the reason why Asia’s Songbird Regine Velasquez did not go through as a guest in the finale of Mars Ravelo’s Darna. It was claimed that Jane was “nag-inarte,” as she was meant to do a scene with Velasquez but declined.
JRB Creative Production, the producer of Darna, immediately released an official statement on January 27, 2023, to clarify the allegation that Jane was the reason for the cancellation of Velasquez’s guesting. In 2003, the singer played Darna in Captain Barbell, a film starring Bong Revilla.
According to the statement, the schedule of Jane de Leon and Regine Velasquez did not match, so the singer-actress could not continue with the guesting.
Here is their full statement:
“Bilang paglilinaw, hindi natuloy ang guesting ni Asia’s Songbird Regine Velasquez sa “Mars Ravelo’s Darna” dahil hindi nagtugma ang schedule nila ni Jane De Leon.
“Buong puso kaming nagpapasalamat kay Regine sa malugod niyang pagtanggap sa aming imbitasyon.”

At Darna’s finale mediacon on Monday, January 30, 2023, Jane de Leon personally pleaded not to exaggerate the issue. “Actually, for me, it was not an issue naman to begin with,” Jane said.
“Sadyang hindi lang talaga nagtugma ang schedule namin ni Ate Reg [Regine].
“And I think it’s very normal naman sa mga artists.
“Ginagawa niya yung rehearsal niya for her upcoming concert. And that time din kasi, I have my endorsement show.
“So we tried to adjust our schedules, sadyang hindi lang kami talaga pinayagan.”
Jane de Leon also said that she and Regine did not really have a dispute. In fact, they were just together recently and they talked about it. She said she still looks forward to working with her in the future.
“Sayang nga [hindi natuloy], pero noong nakaraan magkasama kami and we talked about it. Yun nga, dahil sa schedule lang, hindi kasi nagtugma.
“Pero looking forward naman ako na maka-work siya.
“Marami pa namang opportunity for that and nakaka-sad lang kasi parehas kaming excited. Kapag magkasama kami, lagi naming pinag-uusapan.”
Jane also revealed that Regine Velasquez’s guest appearance at Darna was sudden and not in the script.
“Actually, yung about po kasi kay Ate Reg [Regine], biglaan din po kasi siya sa script.
“So, they’re looking for someone who can portray for that exactly and they talked about Ate Regine.
“Sa sobrang biglaan, nagkasunud-sunod yung schedule.”
On the question of who will replace Regine, Jane said she had no idea.
“Wala po talaga akong idea, and for that character, hindi ko rin alam kung sino ang ipapalit.
“So, aabangan ko rin. Papanoorin ko rin talaga kasi excited din akong malaman kung sino yon if ever.”
