ASAP Honolulu gets huge aloha from fans
The touring Filipino TV and live concert musical variety juggernaut called ASAP received the warmest aloha from thousands of local residents and traveling fans in the island of Oahu, Hawaii where ASAP Honolulu was recently held. From arrival ‘til departure, the cast shared hundreds of selfies, shakas, hugs and high fives with the vibrant Filipino community which is the largest Asian group in the state.
It was a lovefest between the stars and the fans during the VTR shoots, at the press conference which registered the highest views for live-streamed press conferences on TFC online, at the TFC Marketplace where exciting booth activities took place and during the back-to-back concerts at Neil S. Blaisdell Arena which reverberated with shrieks of delight from attendees.
In a report from ABS-CBN TFC’s daily news show, BA, ABS-CBN Global head of events Ricky Resurreccion said, “It’s important to bring joy to the Filipinos in Hawaii. This day is a full day of activities dedicated to them. As early as 10 a.m., we opened the doors for all the activities that happened in the TFC Marketplace. ASAP is an international TFC Live event so it always aims to celebrate the TFC experience with the entire family.”
“Hawaii is a very important piece of TFC’s history. It was in Hawaii where TFC first got carried into a cable system. If it wasn’t for Hawaii, TFC wouldn’t have had its start,” said ABS-CBN North and Latin America managing director Jun del Rosario.
The four-hour show was directed by Johnny Manahan. The first episode of ASAP Honolulu was aired on ABS-CBN TFC last July 8. Catch the second episode today on TFC worldwide.
