Is Boy Abunda willing to enter politics?
King of Talk Boy Abunda was asked if he has political plans now that the new political season in the Philippines officially started.
Tito Boy has been in the entertainment industry for decades already. He is among the most respected TV hosts in Philippine showbiz. His career path has become an inspiration to many younger hosts.
Although he is a prominent personality in showbiz, there is still anticipation that he will eventually enter the political arena.
Back in 2023, the veteran TV host expressed his willingness to enter politics but with one condition. He said that he could be in government work if he was an appointed official.
In a recent interview, based on the article in GMA Entertainment, Boy Abunda was once again asked about the possibility of him entering politics. He shared that there had been offers for him to enter politics even before.
“I’m the only one in the family who’s not into politics. Kung talagang… Wala talaga sa bituka. No fire in the belly,” he said. His sister and parents had their pieces of public service in his hometown. “Hindi ko talaga siya [naisip],” he said.
However, when asked if he is closing his door to politics, the veteran talk show host said, “No. I never closed door, mahirap magbukas.” Even though he is not showing much interest in entering the political arena, for now, Tito Boy said that he has a political consulting firm.
“I am familiar with politics. It has nothing to do with not knowing,” he said. However, he stressed that he is not really thinking about politics because he really loves showbiz.
Meanwhile, in a recent interview, Boy Abunda was also asked about the rumors that his best friend Kris Aquino is planning to run in the 2025 elections. The veteran TV host said that with Kris’s current health status, this is just a rumor.
