Eric still keeps in touch with Boy Abunda, his former mentor. He regrets that he and his Tito Boy rarely see each other because of their busy schedules. Eric says: "Okay, sobrang warm ni Tito Boy sa akin, parang walang nangyari. Na-miss ko talaga siya."

Isang masayang Erik Santos ang nakausap ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) noong Linggo, March 18, sa Studio 8 ng ABS-CBN para sa rehearsal ng Star Magic Tour sa Honolulu, Hawaii, na gaganapin sa March 30.

Kinumusta namin sa singer ang tungkol sa pakikitungo nila ngayon ng dating manager na si Boy Abunda.

Matatandaang nagkaroon ng tampuhan ang dalawa nang kumalas si Erik sa pinamamahalaang talent management ni Boy noon, ang Backroom.

Pero ayon kay Erik, nagkita sila ng TV host kamakailan lamang.

"Nung isang araw lang nagkita kami sa lobby ng ABS, after ng Bandila.

"Okay, sobrang warm ni Tito Boy sa akin, parang walang nangyari.  Na-miss ko talaga siya.

"Once in a while nagkaka-textan, nagkakumustahan. 

"Di na kami nakakalabas kasi busy kasi si Tito Boy and, ako naman, medyo marami din namang mga rakets din."

CHRISTIAN AND JED. Ano naman ang reaksiyon ni Erik na pinagpipilitan silang paglaban-labanin ng mga kasabayan niyang sina Christian Bautista at Jed Madela?

Ayon kay Erik, natutuwa siya sa mga kaibigan at kasamahan sa ASAP dahil nakikita niya na hindi naaapektuhan ang mga ito sa mga intriga sa kanila.

"Well sa akin lang, sa business na ito, lagi namang pinagsasabong— kami-kami.

"Since the three of us, kami yung balladeers, so may mga issues talaga na ganyan. 

"Ang maganda kasi kila Jed and Christian, hindi sila nagpapaapekto sa intriga. 

"I'm happy na hanggang ngayon, kung ano sila dati, ganun pa rin naman yung friendship."


UPCOMING PROJECTS. Tinanong din ng PEP si Erik kung anu-ano ba ang mga pinagkakabalahan niya sa ngayon.

"I'm okay, busy promoting my album, yung OPM album ko, Awit Para Sa Iyo.

    FORGETTABLE. ABS CBN talent Erik Santos may have sold thousands of albums, but like a fad, he is FORGETTABLE and EASILY IGNORED. Sa mga singing contest nga sa mga probinsya at sa mga liblib na lugar, at maging sa kalakhan ng Kamaynilaan, WALAng mga contestants na kumakanta ng mga kung ano mang kanta ni ERIK Santos. Isinasabong pa raw kina Christian at Jed na hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin naman kilalang kilala ng masa, MAKE BELIEVE publicity lang ang lahat ng ABS CBN!

    He's one of the country's precious talents. Matagal na din since he was declared as the grand champion but still, he's very visible in the music industry... Malaki na din ang naging contribution nya sa industry na ito, madami ng napasikat na awitin. Of course, it's with the help of her home network, not to mention his talent. Nagtataka lang ako, madami na din namang singing contests sa GMA network, pero wala man lang silang napasikat sa mga singers nila? Bakit kaya?

    OVERPRICE. UNDERACHIEVER. ABS CBN crooner Erik Santos has failed to score big in international competitions. His failure is also ABS CBNs failure. While he might be one of the well to do singers in the country, there is nothing EXTRA ordinary in his singing career history.
