An episode of “<a href="http://asap.abs-cbn.com">ASAP XP</a>” wouldn’t be complete without “Asia’s Songbird” Regine Velasquez-Alcasid conquering the stage with her signature powerhouse vocals and commanding presence.And in the inaugural episode of the newest season of the Sunday variety show we all loved over the past three decades, she captivated and energized the audience with a bold reinterpretation of the classic OPM rock anthem “Banal na Aso, Santong Kabayo” by Yano.Dressed in a wine-red ensemble with a sleek brushed-up pixie cut, she transformed the song with soaring belts and vocal riffs, giving it a distinctly fresh and dynamic spin that left a lasting impression to the live audiences at the Araneta Coliseum who were cheering her on.As soon as her solo number was over, Regine then called on new-gen male champions Marko Rudio, Reiven Umali, JM Yosures, and Khimo Gumatay to join her onstage as they performed together a medley of rock hits featuring “Iris” by Goo Goo Dolls, “Sacrifice” by Creed, and “The Reason” by The Hoobstank.Experience world-class entertainment with your favorite Kapamilya stars every Sunday on “<a href="http://asap.abs-cbn.com">ASAP XP</a>,” airing at 5:30 PM on ALLTV, A2Z, Kapamilya Channel, <a href="https://app.iwanttfc.com/dFR6MWHAcVb">iWant</a>, and Kapamilya Online Live.
