Performing his original song, Alcasid discussed his struggles as a musician, the longing to keep up and stay relevant in changing times. His wife, singer Regine Velasquez, was captured showing her support in the audience, while their son Nathaniel delivered a message at the end of his father’s performance, reminding him that “he could not be left behind as life is not a race.”

MC and Lassy’s performance followed soon after, a skit about the need to show up to work despite being not okay inside. MC tackled his problems with love and his brother imprisoned, while Lassy discussed his struggles with his father hospitalized and their house submerged in floodwaters.
