Richard Reynoso

Richard John Pelimiano Reynoso (born October 16, 1969) is a singer, host, and actor from Makati. He was popular in the 1990s for the songs "Hindi Ko Kaya", "Paminsan-minsan" at "Maalala Mo Pa Rin" and released six studio albums. A member of The OPM Hitmen alongside Rannie Raymundo, Chad Borja, and Renz Verano, he is also a former co-host of the Sunday noontime variety show, GMA Supershow.

Early life Reynoso grew up singing in the church. He was not good at singing in Tagalog then, as he grew up speaking and listening to English songs. His parents also had singing talents while his older brother Gary played the guitar.

Career Reynoso started competing in singing competitions in 1983, when he won first place in the Tagaytay-Menendez competition. He then joined Bagong Kampeon the following year and won third place. It was also during that year that he co-hosted the game show Family Kuwarta O Kahon with Pepe Pimentel. A year later, he left with Pimentel's blessing to co-host GMA Supershow. He also worked at Praise, a recording company, which led him to composing three gospel songs and a pop album, Ako'y Narito. He still appeared occasionally on television and also held several concerts, including one held in Lebanon. In 2017, Reynoso participated in the Songs for Heroes benefit concert for the families of soldiers and policemen who fought in the siege of Marawi. He then released the compilation album Walang Kapantay: The OPM Classics in 2018 in celebration of 30 years in the entertainment industry. He was also a host of the ASOP Music Festival along with Toni Rose Gayda, and appeared in concerts throughout the 2020s.

Reynoso was also active as one of the 30 board members of the MTRCB, the government's media regulatory board, in the 2020s. In late 2023, Reynoso and two other MTRCB members gave an R-13 rating for Five Nights at Freddy's, a horror film based on a video game of the same name that has children as its target demographic.

Personal life Reynoso is married to Maria Reina Amor, a flight attendant. They have two daughters. His older brother, Gary, works as Richard's personal manager and sound adviser as well as the OPM Hitmen's production assistant, stage manager, audio man, and production manager. In 2021, he and his family contracted COVID-19 despite getting fully vaccinated. He stayed in the ICU for eight days. 2015 2017 2019 2022 Filmography
