History.
After returning to the Philippines in 1993, April Boy Regino, together with his brothers Vingo and Jimmy, formed the musical group April Boys. Their debut single, "Sana'y Laging Magkapiling" from their debut album "Dugong Pilipino" became popular. However, in 1995, April Boy Regino left the group to pursue a solo career before signing to the label Ivory Records (now Ivory Music & Video). In a 2015 interview with Jessica Soho, he explained that the brothers competed amongst themselves which led to a falling out, but they later reconciled.
Vingo and Jimmy released their first album as a duo, the self-titled "April Boys" in 1995 containing the singles "Ikaw Pa Rin ang Mamahalin", "Sana ay Mahalin Mo Rin Ako" and "Tunay na Pag-Ibig" under Vicor Music, followed by the Christmas album, "Tanging Hiling Sa Pasko".
In 1996, the duo were given a shot at acting, co-starring alongside Nida Blanca, Vina Morales, Donita Rose and Candy Pangilinan in the romantic film "April Boys: Sana'y Mahalin Mo Rin Ako", produced by Viva Films. The duo's next album was "Sana'y Tanggapin ang Pag-ibig Ko".
In 1997, they released the album "Ganyan Talaga Ang... April Boys" which contains the Tagalog/English cover version of the song いとしのエリー("Itoshi no Ellie"), renamed "Honey My Love So Sweet".
In 2020, the original three-member boy band reunited after 25 years for live concerts in San Diego, California on March 14 and in Las Vegas, Nevada on March 28.
April Boy Regino died on November 29, 2020, at the age of 59. He was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease and acute respiratory failure prior to his death.
