Kaya raw 'di nag-ingay sa pagpapasara sa Dos…SIGAW NI BOY: AYOKO 'YUNG NAGPAPAPANSIN

Nagsalita na ang King of Talk na si Boy Abunda tungkol sa mga batikos sa kanya dahil sa pananahimik niya sa pagkakasara ng ABS-CBN.

Sa unang episode ng bago niyang The Boy Abunda Talk Channel sa YouTube ay isa-isang sinagot ni Kuya Boy ang mga akusasyon sa kanya.

"I am not silent. I'm actually very vocal about my feelings about the death of ABS-CBN. People say that King of Talk is not talking," panimula niya.

Wala naman daw kasi siyang platform para maghayag ng saloobin. Hindi naman kasi ma-social media si Kuya Boy.

"Well, right now, the king has no home. He's poor. He doesn't even have a shack. Nowhere to live. Has become a pauper. Uh, I'm serious, I don't have a platform," paliwanag niya.

Kung meron pa raw The Bottomline and Tonight with Boy Abunda na dalawang programa niya dati sa ABS-CBN, he would have voice out his opinion about the congressional hearing. That's one of the reasons daw kaya nagmukhang tahimik ang King of Talk.

Pangalawang punto niya, "When I am in grief, I am quiet. When I am in pain, I am quiet. I don't like being fast over. Ayoko 'yung people paying so much attention for me. I like to be quiet. I like to think. It takes a while for one to be able to embrace that pain completely."

At sa pangatlong rason niya ay kinowt pa niya ang sinabi ng unang presidente ng South Africa na si Nelson Mandela.

"Don't enter the debate too early. Listen. I would say right now, we need to pace because this is going to be a long, long winter."

Pero hindi raw 'yun nangangahulugan na hindi siya nasaktan, nagalit at umiyak. Lahat daw 'yan ay pinagdaanan niya nu'ng ma-deny ang prangkisa ng ABS-CBN.

Nilinaw pa niya na hindi niya naramdaman na isa siya sa mga Kapamilya stars na pinatamaan ng aktres na si Angel Locsin during her speech after lumabas ang desisyon ng Kongreso at mag-noise barrage ang mga artista at empleyado sa labas ng gate ng ABS-CBN.

"I don't have that sense. Uhm, I love the girl. I admire her. If Angel Locsin were to run for public office, she would run for Senate, I would campaign and I will vote for her. Ganu'n kalaki ang pagtitiwala at respeto ko kay Angel Locsin. Dahil, I don't think Angel has to be viewed simply in that rant on that stage during the noise barrage. What did I hear from Angel there, I heard a young woman who was frustrated, who was exasperated, who was even angry."

But now na may platform na si Kuya Boy, ang The Boy Abunda Talk Channel, mae-express na raw niya ang kanyang saloobin sa publiko.

"May mga pagkakataon na nasisilip ko ang Congressional hearing and there was not an instance na ako'y natakot that we were going to lose. I always thought that we have a fighting chance. So, sobrang sakit," diin pa niya.

Ang pag-deny daw ng Kongreso sa prangkisa ng ABS-CBN para sa kanya ay the height of injustice.

"I don't think ABS-CBN should remain close. It's very, very personal to me."

Hindi naman napigilan ni Kuya Boy ang maging emosyonal sa isyu ng 11K employees na nawalan ng hanapbuhay. Sobrang malapit sa puso niya ang mga nakatrabaho niya sa kanyang mga programa sa ABS-CBN. Ang iba sa kanila, dekada na niyang nakatrabaho.

Anyway, after a month na opisyal na wala nang trabaho si Kuya Boy, he finds time na mapuntahan ang kanyang rest house sa Lipa City, Batangas at sa Tagaytay.
