Rita Avila disappointed with Boy Abunda after interview with Leni Robredo
Actress Rita Avila expressed disappointment to talk show host Boy Abunda after he supposedly kept on cutting her answers during the time-bound Q&A session.
“Mr. Boy Abunda, I love you but I feel something heavy while you were talking to VP Leni. You keep on cutting her and you act like you are against what she is saying,” Avila said in a Facebook post.
Abunda hosted a series of one-on-one interviews with presidential aspirants called “The 2022 One-on-One Interviews.” The interview included 10 questions, one personal issue-based question, political fast talk, and a final question. The 10 questions had a five minute limit while the latter two questions were set at one minute.
“Why? Parang ayaw mo na pasagutin. Parang ayaw mo mag-expound (It’s like you don’t want her to answer. It’s like you don’t want her to expound,” Avila said.
Avila believes that Abunda treated a couple of other candidates better than with Robredo.
“Mas respectful and decent ka kala Sen Ping and BBM (You were more respectful and decent with Sen. Ping [Lacson] and BBM [Bongbong Marcos]). Sorry friend, I am not the only one who felt this,” she said. “Ang sad, Boy. Pinagtanggol pa kita na professional ka and respectful sa sinumang guest mo (This is sad, Boy. I even defended you that you were a professional and respectful to your guests).”
