As I have mentioned here before, I don’t normally watch television but I listen to the radio when I am gardening.
I stumbled upon this online vlog by Zsa Zsa Padilla, one of those artists who is a talented singer as well. She is a natural in front of the camera, no wonder, she already earned two million followers on YouTube. She is a mainstay of ASAP (All-Star Sunday Afternoon Party) but then last August ABS-CBN, the largest communications network here in the country closed its doors because their franchise was not renewed by this government. Anything that opposes it is shut down.
Yesterday, ASAP which used to be carried by ABS-CBN reopened in collaboration with another TV channel. Some programs are also now being carried by Zoe Broadcasting Network which was re-branded as A2Z TV.
Back to Zsa Zsa, she posted their opening numbers at ASAP with various artists singing a medley of Tagalog and English Christmas songs which I used to listen to every Christmas season. I was mesmerized. Nabuhayan ako ng loob. There is still Christmas 🙂 How lovely to listen and watch them render those lovely melodies. We don’t have Zoe channel so I watched it on my cellphone. So nice to be carried away by those entertaining and lively music. There is something now that I could go back watching and be inspired.
I hope you will be able to celebrate Christmas

I also could not get that Zoe Channel. I missed ASAP but I watched a clone on TV5 starring Piolo Pascual and Catriona Gray and directed also by Johnny Manahan, Almost as good but the other performers are new and not as popular. Good enough.

You could probably watch them on YouTube. I am sure they have uploaded their programs there. So Piolo Pascual migrated to Channel 5?

Yes. I think it has the blessing of ABS CBN.
