SINGER-ACTRESS LEA SALONGA, the Tony-winning star of “Miss Saigon,” gave birth to a girl at noon yesterday -- three days before her due date.

Lea, who turned 35 in February, made certain that she would give birth in the Philippines. But the family requested the Inquirer not to name the hospital where she gave birth.

The mother “is doing well and taking a nap,” but the father, Robert Chien, “is fussing nonstop about the baby,” Lea’s mom Ligaya told the Inquirer in a phone interview yesterday.

The baby, who will be christened Nicole Beverly, weighed 6.10 lb.

“The baby is a great Mother’s Day gift for Lea and my mother-in-law,” Robert said.

Congratulations Lea and Rob...I hope Nicole follows the mom's footsteps. Maybe, she'll reprise Kim in a Miss Saigon revival. :)
