Just weeks ahead of the upcoming live concert for ASAP XP, taking place at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, situated in Araneta City, Cubao, Quezon City, scheduled for May 10, 2026, at 12:00 (Show 1) and 19:00 (Show 2), last Saturday (May 2, 2026), as announced in a teaser for the Kapamilya Musical Variety Show, it will air the final broadcast on the noontime timeslot, on the same day as the event.
As a result of this announcement, on May 17, 2026, ASAP XP, which will air a portion of the said live event, will broadcast on a new timeslot of 17:30. At the time of making this post, ABS-CBN did not announce the full programming schedule beginning that date, and will share some programming changes on the DRPS PHCA in the future.
The two shows of the ASAP XP will feature a star-studded performance that ASAP delivered on-air and online, including AC Bonifacio, Alexa Ilacad, Angeline Guinto, Bamboo, Carmelle Collado, Darren Espanto, Elha Nympha, Erik Santos, Esang de Torres, Fyang Smith, Gary Valenciano, Gela Atayde, Jameson Blake, Jane de Leon, Jarren Garcia, Jason Dy, Jeremy Glinoga, JM dela Cerna, Marielle Montellano, JM Ibarra, JM Yosures, Jona, Kai Montinola, KD Estrada, Khimo Gumatay, Klarisse de Guzman, Kyla, Maki (1st show only), Martin Nievera, Maymay Entrata, Mayonnaise (2nd show only), Regine Velasquez-Alcasod, Reiven Umali, Sofronio Vasquez, Zsa Zsa Padilla, P-Pop Groups BGYO, BINI, and DNA, and many others.
At the moment, the tickets for the 1st and 2nd shows of ASAP XP are almost sold out, with the General Admission tickets for both shows and the Upper Box tickets for the 2nd show still available for purchase via Ticketnet Online and Box Office outlets.
However, following the announcement that ASAP will move to a primetime timeslot, after 31 years, which will continue to air on Sundays, rumors on social media said that the noontime variety show of ABS-CBN, It’s Showtime, will also air on Sundays, alongside Mondays through Saturdays, on May 17, 2026.
Following these rumors, It’s Showtime responded that it will continue to air from Monday to Saturday at 12:00, on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, ALLTV2, A2Z, GMA, Kapuso Stream, and iWant, and not occupy the former timeslot assigned to ASAP on Sundays, as it reads in an art card, “Sundays: Pahinga po kami”.
Additionally, the days following our Fake News Alert debunking about the XP in ASAP XP would stand for “Xtra Pamamaalam,” which was claimed by the Facebook Page of Tele News, which was later renamed as Media Watch PH, another post had claimed that the former timeslot of ASAP will be replaced with an upcoming “Sunday noontime show” titled “SaLinggo Na Sila”. It also claimed that the upcoming show will feature Jim Paredes, Buboy Garovillo, Archie Alemana, Pokwang, Alvin Aragon, Amy Perez, Agot Isidro, Mura, and Dagul.
The Facebook post about “SaLinggo Na Sila” replacing the former timeslot of ASAP is not true, and ABS-CBN did not announce it on their official social media accounts or on the ABS-CBN Corporate Press Releases website. Additionally, some of the celebrities he claimed from the post are from GMA (including Sparkle) and TV5 (including Star Worx), and not from ABS-CBN (including Star Magic). Amy Perez, however, appears on It’s Showtime as a co-host.
Thus, the news that Media Watch PH (otherwise known as Prok Noy and Tele News) is false and misleading. Only trust the official social media pages of ABS-CBN (i.e., ABS-CBN, ABS-CBN PR, ASAP XP, etc.) and its Corporate Press Releases website for accurate information about the Kapamilya network and its future offerings and announcements.
