Speaking of tito Boy Abunda, nauna na nitong nilinaw na wala silang isyu sa naging interview niya sa Filipino-American Hollywood actress na si Vanessa Hudgens.
May mga lumabas na diumano’y isa sa ikinapikon ni Direk Paul Soriano ay ang instant Fast Talk ni tito Boy kay Vanessa kaya diumano’y nagalit ito at ipinatigil ang naka-line up na interview kay Vanessa na covered pa ng contract nito bilang Global Tourism Ambassador for the Philippines at si Direk Paul ang director.
Aminado ang batikang TV host na wala talaga sa script ng presscon ang “fast talk” pero maraming mag-request na gawin niya ito at nagsigawan ng “fast talk, fast talk!”
“Vanessa Hudgens po, nagtanong. ‘Boy, what is Fast Talk?’ Very quickly, ipinaliwanag ko, ‘rapid-fire questioning, and then you tell me the first thing that comes to mind.’ Itinuloy ko na po.
“There was no indicator that Vanessa Hudgens was offended. She was having fun. The vibe was happy,” paliwanag pa ng Fast Talk host.
“She was not offended. I would know. I’ve been interviewing people for over 30 years.”
Walang alam si tito Boy nagkaroon ng kontrobersya pagkatapos ng presscon.
“Did I go off-script? Hindi ho. I work hard on my interviews,” banggit pa niya.
Sa katunayan, nag-message pa raw ang team ni Vanessa para sabihing masaya sila sa mga nangyari sa presscon.
“They were very happy with Vanessa’s visit to the Philippines and how it was handled. They were very happy about it. And in particular, they had no complaints and they were very happy with our interview during the media conference.”
Nabanggit din niyang nag-usap din sila ni Direk Paul pagkatapos ng nasabing event at wala siyang nakitang kahit anong tension.
“Kaya hindi po ako naniniwala that he had an issue with me because he could have called me out. If he was bothered, if he was pissed with Fast Talk, I would have felt it.”
Kahit kay Vanessa “I went to Vanessa, ‘Vanessa, thank you for the opportunity.’ You know what she said? ‘Boy, I love your energy.”’
Samantala, bukod sa mahusay na host, mahusay rin sa pakikisama si tito Boy at kilalang matulungin.
May isang kaibigan kami na nagkaroon ng medical emergency, may nagbanggit lang sa kanya na dinala ito sa hospital at mahal ang bayaran, agad-agad nagpadala si tito Boy.
Hindi maliit na halaga ‘yun.
Anyway, marami pang ibang celebrity na generous like Vilma Santos, Richard Gomez, Aga Muhlach, GMA 7, Chiz Escudero, at isa pang dating aktor na ayaw nang magpabanggit ng pangalan.
