Following rumors of a network switch, GMA News confirmed on Thursday, December 15, that the ‘King of Talk’ Boy Abunda has legally signed a deal with GMA Network.
After over two decades as a Kapamilya, the veteran TV presenter was welcomed back in a grand homecoming gala by the GMA executives as an official Kapuso.
“Unang-una overwhelmed ako sa lahat ng nangyari ngayong araw… sa pag-welcome sa’kin, buong puso ng pamunuan ng GMA 7,” Boy stated on his press conference at Astoria Plaza, Pasig City.
Abunda added, “I’m grateful if you’re asking me how I feel.”
However, the multi-awarded talk show host revealed that he already had expectations of what will happen on his network transfer.
“I’m happy but it could be a lie if I don’t say walang kahit katiting na pangamba meron,” he confessed.
Abunda claimed that there is no room for a ‘gestation period’ after he signed a contract with GMA Network as people already knew what they want from him.
He added that, “‘Yon ‘yung feel ko, I just want to start tomorrow.”
Together with his team and bosses, Boy continues working now to deliver the best show that they can produce.
