Alexa Ilacad welcomed her 23rd birthday on an exciting note as she ticked items off her personal bucket list, among them performing alongside veteran hitmakers Regine Velasquez and Zsa Zsa Padilla, and finding a partner in the company of KD Estrada.
During a pre-recorded video shown on the March 5 episode of the noontime variety show “ASAP Natin ‘To, the actress-singer said she is grateful for the opportunity to reach her dreams even at an early age.
“Find a partner, check! On-cam and off-cam, napakasaya ko to have found someone special like KD [Estrada]. Siya ang nagpu-push sa akin to reach my dreams at siya ang kakampi ko sa lahat ng laban ko kaya thank you, KD! Alam niyo bang dream kong makapag-perform onstage kasama ang pinaka-idol kong divas, ‘yung kaming tatlo lang sana,” she said as the video showed still photos of the two Kapamilya queens.
(Find a partner, check! On-cam and off-cam, I’m so happy to have found someone special like KD Estrada. He’s the one who pushes me to reach my dreams and he’s also my ally in every battle I face. So, thank you, KD! Did you also know that it has been my dream to perform onstage with my favorite divas [Regine Velasquez and Zsa Zsa Padilla], just the three of us.)
The variety show shared a clip of Ilacad, Velasquez, and Padilla performing a rendition of Dua Lipa’s “Love Again” on the same day.
“Alexa’s trending birthday bash just got even better with the incredible performances of Asia’s Songbird Ms. Regine Velasquez-Alcasid and Divine Diva Zsa Zsa Padilla on ASAP Natin To! Tutok na (Don’t miss out on it),” ASAP’s tweet read.

While this is not the first time the “Four Sisters Before the Wedding” star sang with Velasquez and Padilla onstage, the recent performance is the first time that the three of them solely shared the spotlight.
Among the items included in Ilacad’s bucket list are releasing original songs, starring in a musical production, and starring in a movie with her onscreen crush, Enchong Dee. The actress also hinted that their upcoming film “Reset U/I” will be released soon, although details about their co-stars and premiere date have yet to be announced.
In February 2023, Estrada described the “Luv U” star as the “best partner anyone could ever ask for.” This comes a month after the actress-singer confirmed she’s currently in the “courting stage” with the “Days” singer.
Ilacad is best known for her appearances in “The Killer Bride,” “Luv U,” and “Run To Me,’ as well as the films “Four Sisters Before the Wedding” and “Santigwar.” She also gained widespread recognition after joining “Pinoy Big Brother: Kumunity Season 10” as a celebrity housemate. EDV
