Boy Abunda was asked about the rumored political plan of Kris Aquino
Rumor has it that celebrity Kris Aquino went back to the country to Phiin the 2025 elections and this was King of Talk Boy Abunda’s reaction to this.
Boy and Kris have been friends for many years. They had done several TV shows together and their friendship continued even though they had been away from each other for a long time.
Kris had to spend several years in the US for her medical needs. As she was battling her rare autoimmune disease, she took a break from showbiz and focused on her recovery.
Earlier this September, the Queen of all Media announced her return to the Philippines. This brought happiness to her fans who have been praying for her health and anticipating her comeback.
More than the anticipation for her showbiz comeback, speculations surfaced that one of the reasons, if not the main one, for her return was that she intends to enter politics.
Kris Aquino came from a prominent political clan in the country. Her father is Ninoy Aquino, a former Senator who fought against the late President Ferdinand Marcos’s regime, and her mother is the late President Cory Aquino. Kris is also the sister of the late President Nonoy Aquino.
With this, it is inevitable for people to anticipate that Kris will eventually enter politics. This was a rumor that circulated after her comeback. Based on the article in Bandera, Boy Abunda was asked about this.
“I doubt. She needs to be healthy muna bago siya kumandidato,” the King of Talk said when asked about the rumored political plan of Kris in the 2025 elections.
Boy also said that he would ask Kris about this. For the veteran talk show host, it seemed that Kris’s second son is more likely to have political inclination because he remembered having this conversation with Bimby.
“‘Do I see you in politics Bimb?’ Ito yung tanong na, it didn’t shock the Boy. Parang sa pagkakatanda ko, his answer was, ‘why not’ or something. This is Aquino and Cojuangco name,” he said.
Boy said that when it comes to Kris if she is healthy, he will not discount the possibility. He pointed out that the female celebrity is smart and familiar with the political arena. “Politics kasi, is physically toxic. Yun lang yung…with her condition now, but if you ask me what is the condition now, I really don’t know yet until I see her,” Boy said.
