Boy Abunda, the Philippines’ King of Talk, has finally returned to his first home after signing a contract with GMA Network on Thursday, December 15.
He admitted that his return to television comes with new challenges in keeping up with the changes in the landscape of the showbiz news industry.
“The challenge is what do we do? Ano bang equity natin, ano bang mai-o-offer natin para tayo’y panoorin?” Abunda stressed.
He added that they will study and analyze the changes in the entertainment news environment quickly to know their next steps.
However, with his years of experience as a host, he promised at a press conference at Astoria Plaza, Pasig City on December 15 that he will still showcase his best component on his GMA show: an interview.
He said, “Kahit ano man ang aking gawin, mayroong interview component. But I’d like to reinvent, reimagine interview tools para may bagong mai-offer.”
Along with his plans on his GMA show, Abunda revealed that Mike Enriquez is on the top of his dream interviewee list with his return to television.
Aside from Enriquez, he stated that he would like to interview Heart Evangelista, Marian Rivera, and Maine Mendoza together with Arjo Atayde.
He also promised that he will seek to explore further ‘the art of interview’ to keep up with the challenge.
