NAG-REACH out na si Rita Avila kay Boy Abunda after niyang mag-rant dahil hindi nagustuhan ang kinalabas ng interview ni King of Talk kay Vice-President Leni Robredo noong January 26.

Marami talaga ang nakapansin sa pag-i-interrupt at follow-up questions ni Kuya Boy kay VP Leni kaya hindi maibigay ang kanyang pinupunto dahil nauubusan na ng oras.

At dahil nga nagkausap na ang dalawa, nagkasundo sila na irerespeto kanilang mga paniniwala.

Post ni Rita, “For the longest time, Boy and I have been friends though we do not see each other often.

“We are both outspoken and honest, yet, we can still respect each other even if we say dissenting comments or otherwise about relevant issues.”

Dagdag pa ng aktres, “of decency, I reached out to him and he called to return the respect. In his appreciation for my trust, we promised to remain as good friends in this kind of world.”

Sa Facebook post naman ni Rita, sinabi niya na walang nakikitang masama si Kuya Boy sa mga naging pahayag niya.

“Boy didn’t see anything wrong with my public opinion, you are free to think of what you want but what matters to me is Boy.

“I felt free to voice out in public because I have my own honest opinion about something I have witnessed. D lang ako ang nakakita at nakaramdam.

“I felt free to voice out because I know Boy will accept my honesty. I felt free to voice out because it was also the voice of many.”

Reaction naman ng netizens:

“Kung hindi sya nag-reach out sa tingin nya kawalan sya? Daming friends nyan si Boy.”

“Hindi yan sa padamihan ng kaibigan gurl. respeto yan! na yong magkakaibigan minsan nagkakaroon ng ibang idea, ng ibang gusto, pero at the end of the day magkaibigan pa rin kayo.”

“It’s good that she reached out. I admire her bravery, this lady has principles. Minsan talaga, may oras na mas matimbang ang paninindigan mo kaysa sa pagkakaibigan. Not her fault. Basta panatilihin pa rin ang respeto okay lang naman.”

“Pwede naman talaga imaintain ang friendships across the fence. Sometimes we lose a bit of respect, a bit of trust, pero ultimately tayo tayo ang magkakasama sa buhay, hindi mga politiko, kahit gaano natin sila iadmire.

“I am a supporter of vp leni and I have family and friends who are supporters of lacson, isko, pacquaio and ping. Pero meron din akong friend na makamarcos na inunfriend ako at di na nagrereply sa gc. This is the beauty of democracy, people living with people with different beliefs.”

“For sure may bahid na ang kanilang friendship. andami talagang nasisira na pagkakaibigan dahil sa pulitika.”

“Kasi naman nagpo-post agad eh pde naman pala mag-reach out personally. padalos-dalos din eh.”

“Mag-isip muna bago magbitaw ng masasakit na salita. Hindi mo na kasi mababawi ito.”

“Walang dapat pagsisihan si ms rita! tama naman yong rant nya. but despite the differences she reach out to make sure the friendship is still there, no matter what political affiliation they have.”

“Wag kasing papadala sa bugso ng damdamin. She should’ve called Boy instead of posting her disappointment online.”

“True. Sa dami ba naman na gustong sumawsaw. It could have been a private matter since “friends” naman sila.”

“Pabida lang kasi si RA. Why not call BA in private para sabihin kung ano man ang gusto nyang sabihin? Mag-isip na lang sya ng mga bagay na pwede nyang gawing pink. Huwag sobrang oa sa pulitika ‘no.”

“Ok naman interviews ni Boy. Sadya lang nasaktan si Rita kasi di nila nakuha ang results na gusto nila para sa kandidato nila.”

“Not just that. I’m not biased, napanood ko. Masyadong naging maraming interruptions si Boy instead of listening first what Leni has to say. Sayang yung oras.”

“He is no good. He talks too much about his opinion. He is the interviewer. He needs to ask questions and listen for the answers and do a follow up questions if necessary. Gets mo.”

“Rita has balls!”

“I get Rita. Yung nga lang, posting it in socmed for me was not necessary. Pero agree ako sa sinabi nya.”

“Kung wala sigurong time limit in each question, I won’t mind BA giving follow up questions as many as he like. It didn’t feel na paliguy-ligoy si Leni. She just have detailed answers which gave more room for BA to give follow up questions. Leni has so much to say kaya lang napuputol yung thought nya when Boy interrupts her.”

JOIN na rin si Senatorial candidate Herbert “Bistek” Bautista sa uso and that is having his own You Tube channel.

Maganda ang ginawang ito ng former Quezon City Mayor dahil mas maraming pwedeng na siyang ma-reach na voters via his YouTube Official Channel, lalo na at palapit na ang campaign period.

Hindi man siya masyadong makalibot ng buong Pilipinas kung sakaling maghigpit muli ang alert levels in case mayroon na naman surge sa Covid-19 cases, pwedeng puntahan ng mga botante ang You Tube Channel ni Bistek to get updates about his activities as well as the batas na pwede niyang isulong in case he makes it to the Senate.

Compared naman sa ibang senatorial wannabees, mas may K (Karapatan) naman maging senador si Bistek dahil sa kanyang impressive record as a public servant.

EXCITED si John Gabriel dahil kasali siya sa First Lady, ang Book 2 ng First Yaya.

Ito ang unang TV show ni John sa GMA 7 kaya very happy ang newcomer. Ang show rin ang dahilan kung bakit nagpagupit ng buhok si John kasi he is playing the role of Gabby Concepcion’s PSG.

Kinabahan nga raw si John nang malaman na magiging part siya ng isang TV series sa GMA. That time ay hindi pa niya na kasali siya sa First Lady.

“Kinakabahan ako kasi I will be working with a veteran actor tulad ni Gabby Concepcion who is a superstar,” wika ng baguhang alaga ni Daddie Wowie.

Napapanood lang niya si Gabby noong bata pa siya pero this time ay kasama na niya ito sa isang TV series at maganda pa ang role niya.

First time din niya na makakasama si Sanya Lopez sa show kaya lalong doble ang excitement ni John.

Nasa lock-in taping na si John at excited siya na makaharap sina Gabby at Sanya dahil first niyang mami-meet ang mga ito sa location nila.

SABI ni Ayanna Misola, mas malamang daw na she will fall in love with a guy na mas matanda sa kanya.

Ito kasi ang tema ng launching film niya na Kinsenas, Katapusan.

“I find older guys responsible and mature,” wika ng bagong sexy star ng Viva.

Pag bata raw kasi ay medyo immature at hindi pa responsible. Pero kung may makilala raw siyang young man na mature at responsible, pwede rin naman daw siyang ma-in love dito.

Agresibong babae ang role ni Ayanna sa Kinsenas, Katapusan pero hindi naman daw siya ganito in real life.

Kahit na sexy ang role ni Ayanna, may tiwala naman siya kay Direk GB Sampedro na the sexy scenes will be handled well.

Si Joko Diaz leading man ni Ayanna sa isang sexy-psycho-thriller na ipalalabas via streaming sa Vivamax on February 4.

Kasama rin sa cast ng Kinsenas, Katapusan sina Kier Legaspi, Janelle Tee, Angela Morena at Jamilla Obispo.
