Musical variety show “ASAP Rocks” on Sunday paid tribute to its young host AJ Perez, who was killed in a car accident in Tarlac.
A prayer, led by Gary Valenciano, was offered for the 18-year-old actor-model at the start of the show.
“We pray that You bless his family and his dad in this very unfortunate time. We lift ourselves up to You, Lord, dahil medyo mabigat mag-show na ganito because ito po ang unang beses na nakaranas kami ng isang tao na talagang connected po sa amin dito sa ‘ASAP’ na wala na po. We pray for everyone mourning at this time, for this very tragic loss,” said a teary-eyed Gary.
“AJ may no longer be with us physically, but because he left good memories that we will treasure in our hearts, he will live on… AJ, we dedicate this show to you, it’s yours. Embrace him, Lord, and give him the best seat to watch what we offer him today. In Jesus name, amen.”
All wearing white, other hosts of the show, some of whom were crying, stood behind him as Valenciano performed his song, “Home.”
“AJ, you’ve gone home. We miss you,” Gary said after the song.
