Even if he is always in the big city of Manila, King of Talk Boy Abunda hasn’t missed the serenity and grandeur of the countryside, especially his native community, Borongan in Eastern Samar.
It is Boy’s regular exercise to talk to his sister, the former congresswoman of the lone district of Eastern Samar, Maria Fe Abunda.
The communication is either audio talk or video call.
It is whenever Maria Fe is in the province and Boy is in Manila.
According to the TV host’s friends and associates, the Abunda guy more often requests his sister to capture some of the significant and important events, places and people happening in Borongan, especially family-related activities.
That way, Boy is able to update himself of the current situation in his hometown.
The “Fast Talk” host reserves time to update his calendar of the latest in the city and other relevant places in Eastern Samar.
You see, Boy is a warm and ardent receiver of news alongside his being a bearer of news, entertainment news, specifically, good or bad.
It’s his way of life as a pro.
It goes without saying that he is an eager receptacle of happenings within and without his sphere of influence.
It’s as consistent with his job as a television talk show host where he delivers and accepts messages through multimedia.
Borongan simply is a big city, a macrocosm of his life reduced to a village.
Abunda is always updated about his countryside society through modern communications. — BV
