In the midst of the pandemic, JONA had been on multiple hiatuses in ASAP Natin ‘To, returning on occasion.
However, her last ASAP Natin ‘To performance was in May of 2022 for the ‘Blast from the Past’ performance of their artists. Amid her latest hiatus, she became a judge on TV5’s ‘Sing-Galing’.
Speculations abound, citing her departure from ABS-CBN and ASAP Natin ‘To.
Then in July 2022, JONA admitted that she was already a freelance artist and received an offer from another network.
JONA began singing in 1995. Her first showbiz break came after she won ‘Pinoy Pop Superstar’ on GMA Network in 2005.
She owned the title “Fearless Diva” because of her stellar and fearless performances throughout her career.
She became one of the prominent singers of the GMA Network up until her transfer to ABS-CBN in 2016.
She then took on a permanent position as one of the weekly performers of ASAP Natin ‘To.
While this might be an exciting time for the fans of the Fearless Diva, Kapamilya viewers will have to watch ASAP Natin ‘To this Sunday to find out if JONA will indeed be returning to the Sunday noontime show.
