Quinto, staying true to her comedic roots, immediately teased her former partner by singing a line of Paubaya to him. Santos laughed at the gesture and offered a playful critique of her vocal performance.

“Ang napansin ko, ‘yung technique niya ngayon, ‘yun ‘yung mga tinuro ko sa kanya before,” Santos quipped, suggesting that Quinto was still applying the "lessons" he gave her in the past. (I noticed that she used the techniques I taught her before.)

While the chemistry between the two remained evident, Santos was quick to clarify the current status of their relationship to the cheering crowd. Referring to her by her real nickname, he stated, “Magkaibigan po kami ni Peachy.”

Erik Santos and Rufa Mae Quinto first made headlines as a couple in the mid-2000s, a pairing that surprised many due to their different entertainment backgrounds—Santos as a soulful ballad singer and Quinto as a bold comedienne. Though their romantic relationship eventually ended, they have consistently shown the public that they have maintained a supportive and respectful friendship over the years.

Quinto’s latest guesting on "ASAP" was primarily a reprisal of her viral impersonation of Moira Dela Torre from "Your Face Sounds Familiar," but the inclusion of Santos turned the segment into a heartwarming celebration of their enduring bond in the industry.
