Kapamilya powerhouse Angeline Quinto lit up the stage at the Victorias City Coliseum last June 7, performing as part of ABS-CBN's massive ASAP XP event — one of the largest live entertainment productions ever staged in Negros Occidental. The 'Sovereign Balladeer' shared the bill with an elite roster of OPM royalty, including Regine Velasquez-Alcasid, Martin Nievera, Ogie Alcasid, Lani Misalucha, Zsa Zsa Padilla, Erik Santos, and Jolina Magdangal, for two back-to-back shows that packed the venue to capacity.
A Historic Twin Show
According to figures from the Philippine National Police-Victorias, the noon show drew more than 6,000 attendees, while the evening performance attracted over 7,000 fans, filling the Coliseum for both sessions. Negros Occidental Third District Rep. Javier Miguel Benitez hailed the event as a testament to the province's growing capacity to host major national productions while drawing thousands of fans from across the region.
The daytime show featured a blend of seasoned icons like Angeline Quinto and younger stars such as Belle Mariano, Donny Pangilinan, and P-pop group BGYO. Rock legend Bamboo headlined the 7 p.m. set, delivering a high-energy closing to an already unforgettable day.
