Filipino fans packed the Pacific Coliseum last October 18 for a night of explosive performances and that familiar sense of home we always feel when &quot;<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/asap" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ASAP</a>&quot; goes global. And for those of us here in the Philippines, we didn’t miss out on the fun either, as &quot;<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/asap" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ASAP</a>&quot; airs the Vancouver special on its regular Sunday timeslot. The first part of the concert was already featured in the October 26 episode.The Vancouver show kicked off with a spectacular celebration of Filipino artistry, resilience, and culture, with an all-star opening act that gathered the best of the best local performers. The crowd went wild when they heard that familiar handsome voice singing the first lines of the Hotdog hit “Manila,&quot; none other than the Supreme Idol, Daniel Padilla. As he stepped into the spotlight, the cheers multiplied. Daniel smoothly transitioned the song from mellow to full-on upbeat, making everyone in the arena sway and smile.Knowing how much the overseas Filipinos missed their home, Daniel promised that the “ASAP” family would bring a piece of Manila, and the whole Philippines, with them to Vancouver. He then introduced none other than Regine Velasquez-Alcasid, who appeared to perform “Noypi.” The crowd roared again as Darren Espanto and Iñigo Pascual reunited on stage. It was a nice concept how each artist introduced the next one, keeping the flow seamless and exciting. Iñigo welcomed Martin Nievera, who brought out “Sandalan,” before sharing the stage with Sofronio Vasquez and Erik Santos. Next up in the &#x27;rock &#x27;n roll&#x27; medley was “Sugod” performed by Zsa Zsa Padilla, Jona, and Klarisse de Guzman, followed by “Sikat Ang Pinoy” led by Ogie Alcasid, Yeng Constantino, and Angeline Quinto, which was a fitting anthem, now that the “Pinoy Big Brother” house has officially reopened for the newest season, “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/pinoy-big-brother-collab-v2" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">PBB Collab 2.0</a>,” featuring a <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/2025/10/26/20-gen-z-celebrity-housemates-move-in-pbb-collab-2-0-kicks-off-with-fun-exciting-introductions-0149" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">fresh batch of Gen Z artists</a>.Regine returned for one more round of “Noypi,” bringing everyone together in one powerful finale that perfectly captured Filipino pride. The Pacific Coliseum came even more alive when the ultimate heartthrob himself, Piolo Pascual, was introduced. The crowd, especially the ladies, went wild as Piolo appeared from the audience area, walking toward the stage while singing “Sama-Sama” by Alamid. Everyone joined in the chorus, and soon the rest of the “ASAP” cast filled the stage for an epic sing-along. Now that’s how you open a show—with a star-studded lineup and the unbeatable charm combo of Daniel and Piolo leading the way. There’s more music, more kilig, and more Kapamilya fun waiting next week, so make sure to catch the next part of &quot;ASAP in Vancouver&quot; in next Sunday’s episode.Don’t miss this milestone celebration of 30 years of Filipino pride and music in “ASAP in Vancouver,” on local TV via Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live (KOL), TV5, A2Z, <a href="https://app.iwanttfc.com/dFR6MWHAcVb" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">iWant</a>, and TFC worldwide.
