Kapamilya Sunday musical variety show ASAP Natin ‘To was under fire after its sloppy production number last week involving young stars Edward Barber and Seth Fedelin.
On Sunday, April 2, Barber and Fedelin got featured in a dance number with the PPop group Bini. However, it didn’t go well as the two were obviously unprepared, resulting in criticism from the netizens.
In its tweet, @KafosoMo compared the most recent ASAP episode to its former rival Party Pilipinas, noting that no one had rehearsed for the number.
“Papunta na sa Party Pilipinas tong ASAP. Pito pitong prods na mukhang walang rehearsals.”

@lurkingaroundcv also poked fun at the episode, and tweeted, “Bat naman kayo nagpractice ng Live. Haha.”

@volleyblhotd in a tweet criticized ASAP for reducing Bini to backup dancers when they are the ones who trained for years and should be given the spotlight in that production number.
“Hindi ko talaga bet yung parang ginagawang backup dancers ng asap ang mga ppop groups like bini and bgyo. Hellooo they can slay without collab performances!!! Hindi sila nag train for years as a group para lang pag mukhaing backup dancers. Ppop groups deserve solo stages!!”

@badgurljonas_ shared the same sentiment about Bini becoming the backup dancers to Barber and Fedelin.
“Nakakaloka ang ASAP! Alam naman ng lahat na di para sakanila ang pag sayaw pero push padin. Si Edward pang host at Seth pang kanta o acting lang!! BINI pa ata ginawang back up dancer juskoooo”

@abeandales also tweeted the same, saying Bini deserves better than being backup dancers.
“As a PPOP stan, nakakapikon na pinagmumukha silang backup dancers. Deserve nila ng solo prod. @ASAPOfficial pakiayos naman.”

@crazy_k83point0 meanwhile, called out ASAP for disrespecting its viewers with the quality of production numbers they are offering them.
“@ASAPOfficial this is disrespectful to the viewers. make sure ready na sa prod ung artist nyo or better not give them the stage.”

Netizen @imrinfuentes can’t help but compare the current ASAP to that of Mr. M’s days, when production numbers were always well rehearsed, giving a quality Sunday TV experience to the viewers.
“This is why kahit madilim ASAP noon under kay Mr. M bawing bawi naman talaga sa production number kase 1 week yung rehearsals hindi gaya now kahit sino2x nalang sinasalang parang ilang oras lang nag rehearse.”
