From being a “Pinoy Big Brother” housemate, Robi Domingo has built a remarkable career as one of ABS-CBN’s premier hosts, but in this "ASAP" episode, he swaps hosting duties for dancing as he revisits his Gigger Boys days—his former teen group with Chris Gutierrez, Dino Imperial, Sam Concepcion, Arron Villaflor, Enchong Dee, and the late AJ Perez.
Joined by Edward Barber and Darren Espanto, he goes full boyband mode with “Quit Playing Games with My Heart,” while AC Bonifacio and Alexa Ilacad bring the 2000s throwback vibe with a high-energy dance break. After the number, Robi is joined by the squad—whom he fondly calls his "anak-anakan" in hosting—as he celebrates his birthday. As he mentions that one of his biggest milestones is his marriage with Maiqui Pineda, and his wish to start a family of his own, the group covers his eyes for a surprise from “the most important woman” in his life. Everyone expects to see Maiqui, but instead, it’s his hosting partner, Melai Cantiveros, who appears on stage.
“You are the little brother I never had,” Melai quips when asked for her message for the birthday boy, “kasi ‘yung mga brother ko, kamukha ko lang.” On a more serious note, she thanks Robi for being her 'mentor' whenever they get to host together. Then, at last, comes the real surprise—Robi’s “maybahay” and “buhay,” Maiqui, who sends him a heartfelt birthday message to wrap up the celebration.
