Hosts ng ASAP nag-iyakan!

Nag-live airing na nga kahapon ang ASAP Natin ‘To sa Kapamilya channel at talaga namang sa opening number pa lang ay makikita mong napakasaya’t napakataas ng energy ng hosts and performers.

After the opening number ay nagsalita ang mga hosts kung gaano sila kasaya sa muling pagbabalik ng kanilang show physically after three months.

“Grabe! Miss na miss namin kayo mga Kapa­milya! Kamusta na po kayo? Marami pong salamat na muli tayong nagkasama-sama,” ani Regine.

Patuloy niya, “alam n’yo, marami po tayong pinagdadaanan nitong mga nakaraang buwan pero sa kabila nito, napakasarap na makita na sama-sama naman tayong nagdadamayan at nagtutulu­ngan.”

Ayon pa sa Asia’s Songbird ay first time niyang lumabas ng bahay. “I am of course, very concerned because I have a son who’s eigth years old. There’s always a risk when you go out kaya kailangan po natin ng ibayong pag-iingat, mga Kapamilya, hindi lamang po para sa mga sarili natin, para rin po sa mga mahal natin sa buhay,” she said.

Inamin din ni Songbird na medyo nagiging emotional siya dahil first time niya ulit na mag-perform with the other mainstays at sobrang na-miss niya ang mga ito.

Sabi naman ni Zsa Zsa Padilla, “nakakaiyak talaga.”

Kwento naman ni Piolo Pascual, “ilalaglag ko na si Erik Santos,” sabay tawa, “kasi kanina, after we sang, we were there and we couldn’t help but shed a tear or two because parang it’s so...it’s a nice feeling to be back.

Sabi naman ni Zsa Zsa, familiar na raw sila sa ganoong setup na walang audience dahil noong ‘80s daw ay ganu’n daw ang ginagawa nila. Pero sa tagal na nga rin daw nilang ginagawa ang ASAP, heto’t may nabago pa rin na tinatawag ngang “new normal.”

Sey naman ni Martin Nievera, “hindi lang ‘yun, ‘yung dinaanan nating lahat during this pandemic, we all went through it together. Not one person more than the other, not just the old, not just the young, not just the poor, not just the rich, all of us.”

Nakakatuwa na nagbibiruan sila na “no touch” daw muna sila kaya naman makikita ring magkakalayo sila sa stage.

Ang ganda rin ng mensahe ni Martin para sa lahat tungkol sa mga tulad nilang entertainers.

“A bird must fly, a fish must swim, entertainers must inspire. To take away what has been taken away, and all the time that we’ve left, and to represent so many people behind us from the cameramen to the production people, to the people who lived in this station until we got back just yesterday,” he said.

Pagtatapos ng Concert King, “but more importantly, performing for all of you, every Filipino around the world, has been the greatest honor in all our lives. Do not take this away from us. The show must go on.”
