Actor and politician Jason Abalos revealed a touching moment involving ‘Asia’s King of Talk,’ Boy Abunda, from several years back.
During a recent segment of a program, Jason recounted a time when he faced a setback on a show and received assistance from Boy.
“Ikukuwento ko lang po. Kailangan malaman ng buong tao kung gaano kabait si Tito Boy. Na-out ako sa isang show, nagbigay siya ng isang tseke sa akin,” Jason disclosed.
“Ang sabi niya, ‘Anak, ibigay mo sa nanay mo ‘pag umuwi ka sa inyo para mayro’n kang pasalubong. Gano’n po kabait si Tito Boy,” he added.
Boy responded to the gesture by expressing, “Kasi you’re talking about your parents, you’re talking relationship about your parents. Parang ‘yon ‘yong mga bagay na ‘di nakikita sa camera dahil napakahirap mag-judge. Nag-iiyakan ang mga magulang.”
“Naalala ko, batch n’yo may nahimatay. Iba. I mean, para lamang matupad ang iyong mga pangarap,” Boy elaborated.
Notably, Boy was one of the judges during Star Circle Quest season 2 in 2004, where Jason participated as a contestant alongside artists like Erich Gonzales.
Despite the setback, Jason’s career continues to thrive, both in showbiz and in politics. In October 2021, he successfully ran for board member in District 2 of Nueva Ecija.
Currently, Jason is part of the cast of the new GMA Network show titled ‘Lilet Matias: Attorney-at-Law,’ which stars Jo Berry.
