MANILA -- Just a few more days before ASAP in England lights up Birmingham! Kapamilya stars are in full swing with rehearsals for the much-anticipated celebration of the Sunday noontime variety show happening at the BP Pulse Arena on August 30.
Among the most excited performers is Maymay Entrata, who is looking forward to her first-ever show in Birmingham.
“Sobrang excited ako kasi nakapunta na po ako sa London dati. Mga nakailang show na din po kahit papano dahil sa help ng opportunity pala na pagbigay ng TFC po sa amin dati. Tapos ngayon makakabalik ako pero never pa ako napunta sa Birmingham so excited ako kaya nandito po ako ngayon for preparation po ng 'ASAP England' ngayong August 30 na po. Every time napupunta po ako sa ibang bansa at mga kasama po, mga OFW po, talaga nili-look forward ko talaga na makita sila, na makausap sila, na maka-jamming sa kanila, at makisayaw sa kanila,” she said.
Singer Sofronio Vasquez also shared his excitement, as this will be his first time performing with "ASAP" outside the Philippines.
“So it’s very exciting, nakakatuwa. And ayun, may iilan na akong mga Kapamilyang nag-message sa atin na they are very excited. Not just for me, but the whole cast of 'ASAP.' Because it’s going to be... parang reunion ng mga Pilipino... A week to go, ano na kami gearing up,” he said.
Actor Joshua Garcia is also raring to go, marking his first trip to London. “Really excited and now nagsho-shoot ako excited na ako mag-ahit, mag-shave, cut my hair and first time ko sa London! Ang tagal na din nung last nag-out of the country -- LA ata -- so really excited to do 'ASAP,' magsasayaw ako,” Garcia said.
Darren Espanto, meanwhile, shared how meaningful the show will be for Filipinos in England who have been longing for a taste of home.
“Marami pong kababayan in England and abroad na hindi pa nakakauwi sa Pilipinas sa sobrang tagal na panahon. So for us to be able to bring a piece to the Philippines to them saka para maging parte sila ng cultural experience, madaming Kapamilya naho-homesick,” he noted.
"ASAP in England" promises to deliver a spectacular showcase of world-class Filipino talent, bringing together Kapamilya stars and OPM icons for one unforgettable night.
The show will take place on August 30 at the BP Pulse Arena, Birmingham.
