First, Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, are on a Royal Tour of Australia with Sydney as their first stop.  Then there is the upcoming 2018 Invictus Games founded by Prince Harry for wounded, sick and injured veterans to be held in various locations with 500 athletes from 18 nations. Then there is the 2018 X Games – the world’s premier action sports festival -- at the Spotless Stadium, Sydney Olympic Park.  Add to those the many other festivals, art markets, fairs and pop-up events that make October consistently live up to be one of the best months to be living in, or visiting, Sydney and you have a city exploding with sights and sounds, feels and flavors.

As Australia enters the middle of spring, there’s a true celebratory air across the city.  One reason is another huge event that is drawing ticket buyers from all over Australia, New Zealand, Philippines and countries as far as the U.S.  “ASAP Live in Sydney” – the eighth leg of the ongoing global live concert tour of the longest-running TV variety show from ABS-CBN – is all set for October 20, this Saturday, at the amazing ICC Sydney Theatre in Darling Harbour.  As the countdown to the big event happens, the ASAP team is making sure that it soaks in Sydney’s spirit by making key visits in the community.

After the SBS visit, the ASAP team headed for the Philippine Consulate General on Wentworth Avenue to pay a courtesy call on Philippine Consul General of Sydney Maria Teresa L.

Lopez.  She promised the good ambassador in a recent conversation that she will take care of the huge ASAP contingent coming from the Philippines who are all out to represent Filipinos and give a one-of-a-kind show in Sydney.

The Philippines’ Soul Diva Jaya and Unkabogabol Sidekick Negi spread good vibes at “Kapamilya Fun Day” in Australia

“Music is to the soul as food is to the body” and “laughter is the best medicine” are two of the most popular adages that agree on one thing --- that both music and laughter can be therapeutic.  Two of ABS-CBN’s most-loved artists showed that rhythm and comedy can truly both nourish and heal at the three-night, three-city musical experience “Kapamilya Day” early June which did not only bring back memories from home for the audience but also moved the performers themselves.

The “Kapamilya Fun Day”, an annual event which just started in Australia last year and has been giving an opportunity for global Filipinos in the cities of Australia to meet and interact personally with their favorite Kapamilya stars, first brought “Queen of RnB” Kyla, “World Champion” Jed Madela, and comedian Negi to the “Kapamilya Fun Day” in 2016.  This time TFC shared the music of “Soul Diva” Jaya with a second serving of “Unkabogabol Sidekick”, Negi.
