On Monday afternoon, September 25, 2023, Boy Abunda, the renowned television host, faced an unexpected challenge when he was delayed due to heavy traffic along Commonwealth Avenue and Quezon Avenue in Quezon City.
The traffic snarl led to Boy Abunda’s late arrival at the GMA Network studio for his program, ‘Fast Talk With Boy Abunda.’
As a result, actor Rocco Nacino, who was a guest on the show, stepped in as a substitute host to keep the live telecast going. Boy Abunda arrived at the studio in haste, just in time to join the opening spiels led by Rocco Nacino, who had temporarily taken on the role of host.
Boy Abunda expressed his deep gratitude to Rocco for his swift assistance. He also extended his appreciation to the motorcycle driver who ferried him to the GMA Network studio, allowing him to make it to ‘Fast Talk with Boy Abunda’ in time.
Upon seeing the gridlock on Quezon Avenue, Boy Abunda instructed his personal assistant to book a motorcycle taxi to ensure he would reach the program’s studio on time. Amid the heavy traffic, Boy Abunda and his assistant disembarked from their vehicle and asked the first available motorcycle driver for a lift to the GMA Network building on Timog Avenue, Quezon City.
The motorcycle driver willingly agreed to transport the prominent TV host, who was a surprise passenger. This kind act helped Boy Abunda navigate the traffic and make it to his show’s studio without further delay.
Boy Abunda was overwhelmed with gratitude toward Rocco Nacino for his support during the unexpected traffic delay. He emphasized that this was the first time he had encountered such an issue in the history of his hosting career.
Boy Abunda always leaves his home in the Commonwealth area early for his talk show to ensure he arrives on time. He did not anticipate being caught in slow-moving traffic that would lead to a delay in his arrival at his own TV show’s studio.
Rocco Nacino, the invited actor on ‘Fast Talk With Boy Abunda,’ took the opportunity to express his gratitude to the viewers of ‘The Missing Husband,’ the afternoon drama series in which he stars alongside Yasmien Kurdi. The show airs just before Boy Abunda’s program.
Rocco shared that the lessons he learned as a contestant on ‘StarStruck Season V’ greatly contributed to his composure during the unexpected situation. He did not hesitate to step in as Boy Abunda’s substitute host while awaiting the host’s arrival.
