ABS-CBN finally decided to change its 23-year old Sunday variety show ASAP by renaming and reformatting it to ASAP Natin ‘To.
According to ABS-CBN, the new format is to celebrate the real stories of real people.
On November 18 when the new ASAP Natin ‘To made its debut, they featured a couple who lost all hope of getting legally married since the guy had a sickness. They were buried in debt they couldn’t pay. Thus, they let go of all their wedding plans and focused all their earnings on recovering from the debt they accumulated.
