What’s the common denominator of Zac Efron, Bea Alonzo, John Lloyd Cruz and Nicholas Sparks? Well, at some point of their lives, they’ve done a one-on-one interview with Boy Abunda. “Tito Boy”, as everybody calls him, has been the epitome of what a great talk show host is in the Philippines. He has able to establish a standard in hosting that is based on truth and relevance. In a sometimes superficial world of showbusiness, Boy Abunda seeks the reality behind every issue, the humanity behind each celebrity he gets to talk to, and to tag his famous show, “the bottom line” of every story he covers. He is a talk show host who balances his heart and mind in dealing with various subjects he encounters in his work. No doubt he tops this list. Because no one can do it better than Tito Boy!
Abunda is openly gay and has been in a relationship with partner Elmer "Bong" Quintana since 1983.[9] Although a practicing Catholic and Marian devotee,[10][11] Abunda is a supporter of LGBT rights and same- sex marriage, expressing disagreement with the Church's stand on homosexuality.[10] He denounced the 2016 Orlando nightclub shooting,[12] which has been recorded as the deadliest incident of violence against LGBT people in United States history.
On June 23, 2010, Abunda became a part-time professor at Philippine Women's University teaching radio and television to communication arts students. He currently resides in Quezon City. PROYEKTO SA Araling Panlipunan Ipinasa Ni: Ciara Noren V. Daque
