ASAP natin 'to
The January 5 episode of ASAP Natin 'To marked the kick-off of its 25th anniversary celebration.
ABS-CBN's long-running variety show became a top trending topic because of Sharon Cuneta's birthday celebration that took place during this episode.
In her speech, Sharon thanked her husband Senator Kiko Pangilinan who joined her onstage.
"Thank you for being faithful all these years. Kahit hindi niya kamukha si Brad Pitt, at least tayo wala taong problema."
Sharon also quipped, upon seeing her children onstage: "Ang alam ko apat ang anak ko."
Frankie and Miel Pangilinan were present that day along with their brother Miguel.
Sharon continued: “Salamat sa lahat ng anak-anakan ko. Thank you, Frankie, Miel and Miguel for giving importance to Mama, and loving me, and being respectful and kind, grateful children.”
According to KC Concepcion, she was unable to attend Sharon's ASAP birthday celebration due to "personal reasons."
The Megastar also said that she hoped her children will emulate Judy Ann Santos, Regine Velasquez, and Sarah Geronimo.
