I don’t like Boy Abunda. Sure, he’s more competent than the other local hosts. But when you watch him, you get this feeling that he feels like a highly intellectual person. He pronounces words like positive as PO-si-tiv. He frowns a lot to make you think he’s concentrating on what his interviewee is saying. He doesn’t look at the camera a lot to make you think like he is focused on the show.
Two Sundays ago, he interviewed the controversial road rage killer Jason Ivler‘s mother, Marlene Aguilar-Pollard in The Buzz. It was obvious that he favored the woman. He defended her in some instances, answering the questions he threw at the overacting woman. When Marlene shed crocodile tears, he would console her like a friend who’s being ganged up on national tv. At the end of the interview, he told the clearly demented woman that he was on her side, in not so many words.
If you’ve seen the interview, you’d clearly see that the comment made by Abunda boosted her confidence. And now he’s going to feed her ego some more in his feeling intellectual show, Bottomline (which he pronounces as Ba-tam-layn).
Hilarious!
