"You know
I'm handling some of the most complex, some of the most interesting
personalities in the Philippines. From Krissy, to Gretchen [Barretto], to Dawn
[Zulueta], to Rufa Mae [Quinto], to Ai Ai [delas Alas], to... I mean, friends
like Cristinelli. Pero alam mo ang natutuhan ko, dapat patas ka," says Boy Abunda about being a host.

Bakit kailangang magpalabas ng apology letter ang The Buzz?
"Because we might have hurt the sensibilities of audiences," paliwanag ni Boy. "As a show, we have to move within parameters [set by] regulating bodies. Hindi naman ito ano'ng iniisip mo, ano'ng iniisip ko. We have to go by rules, by requirements of regulating bodies.
"Yung aking binasa ay essentially we are saying na kung meron man kaming sensibilidad na na-violate, patawad. Mga magulang, mga bata, kahit sino man. Kaya dinugtungan ko nung huli na maraming salamat sa inyong mga papuri, pero sa trabahong ito, mahirap talaga. May mga bagay na may masasabi kaming mali. May mga bagay na magkasalungat ang ating opinyon. May mga bagay siguro na naiirita ang mga nakikinig sa amin. Patawad, ganun lang, simple. At saka doon sa mga natutuwa, maraming salamat."
Hindi ba bunsod ito ng order galing sa management o sa MTRCB?
"I'm not aware of that. But I don't discount the possibility. I think the show and ABS-CBN, the network, should be sensitive to regulating bodies, to citizens reacting, to people writing letters, to bosses who teach us good values. So, yung sinasabi mo na, ito ba ay isang reaksiyon sa isang memo na napadala, hindi ko alam. Pero is it possible? It is possible. Because we can be wrong. And if you're wrong you should apologize. And after the apology you should try to be better," saad ng TV host.
Tuwing Linggo nahaharap si Boy sa samu't saring intriga sa The Buzz, pero para sa kanya ano ang pinakamabigat na intriga na kinaharap niya sa buhay niya?
"Sa dami ng intriga na pinagdaanan ko, hindi lang sa The Buzz, sa karera ko sa showbiz, ang dami-dami. Bilangin mo lahat ng umupo sa harapan ko na in-interview ko, ang dami-daming intriga. May pagkakataon minsan na hindi ko alam kung ano'ng gagawin ko dahil dalawang magkaibigan ang involved.
"Dahil bahagi ka ng kuwento, dahil sobrang alam mo... You know I'm handling some of the most complex, some of the most interesting personalities in the Philippines. From Krissy, to Gretchen [Barretto], to Dawn [Zulueta], to Rufa Mae [Quinto], to Ai-Ai [delas Alas], to... I mean, friends like Cristinelli. Pero alam mo ang natutuhan ko, dapat patas ka.
"There is honor in controversies. There is always a way of handling it without selling out. There's a way of doing it justly. Pero it's very hard. Creating that balance is extremely hard. Maraming beses na ako... maraming intriga, maraming kontrobersiya, na akala ko hindi ko malalampasan ng buo."
BIRTHDAY WISH. Sa dami ng kanyang achievements at success, may gusto pa ba siyang hilingin para sa birthday niya?
"Madami pa naman. Ang advantage ko lang, hindi talaga ako nagbibilang sa wala. I have enough to make my self happy. And I am grateful with whatever I have. And what I have is too much blessing.
"Pero kapag sinabing meron pa ba? Madami pa. Gusto ko pang dugtungan ang buhay ng nanay ko. I want to be able to produce talk shows. Produce meaning hindi na yung maglalabas ng pera. I can produce talk shows. Alam ko ang mga disiplinang kailangan para makapag-produce ng talk shows.
"I'd like to be able to train more hosts. I mean, I cannot do this forever. Hindi dahil sa ayaw ko. Pero lahat kami nagdadaan, to be very blunt about it, lahat kami nalalaos. Lahat kami puwedeng kalimutan.
"I am a teacher. Kaya nga ako nagbalik sa eskuwelahan ngayon kasi gusto kong matuto. Gusto kong may iba akong magawa at may iba akong mapuntahan. Gusto kong magturo. Gusto kong mag-share.
"Some people may say why did you go back to school. I didn't go back to school because I want a doctoral degree, I want a masteral degree. Hindi. I went to school because I want to broaden my perspective, gusto kong lumawak ang aking pananaw, para tuwing nag-i-interview ako ay mas malawak ang mundo ko. Ayoko namang gumalaw nang gumalaw sa tayo-tayo, sila-sila. There's a world out there waiting to be discovered."
Bukod sa The Buzz celebration, isang linggo ring ipinagdiriwang ang birthday ni Boy sa pang-umaga niyang programa na Boy & Kris. Nagsimula na kahapon, October 27, ang selebrasyon with Billy Crawford and KC Concepcion as guests. Maraming pang guests na pawang malalapit sa puso ni Boy ang nakatakdang bumati sa kanya ngayong araw, October 28, hanggang sa Biyernes, October 31.
