Known for his cool demeanor, TV host
Boy Abunda was unable to contain his anger at those saying he is "just [an] entertainer.â€
Abunda, in a rare display of emotion, retaliated to issues in relation to the rumored offer for him to head the Department of Tourism office.
“Mga kaibigan, una I’d like to thank president apparent or presumptive president-elect Noynoy Aquino for the kind words that he said doon sa kanyang press conference. Noy, I am grateful, maraming salamat sa tiwala at sa respeto,†Abunda opened up on “Showbiz News Ngayon†June 2.
Abunda then admitted he’s not financially ready to take any post in government. He said he cannot give up his career in show business.
“Pangalawa mga kaibigan, nais ko pong malaman ninyo na naiintidihan ko that when one is given a chance to serve in government or to occupy a government post, dapat kayo po ay intellectually ready, emotionally ready and financially ready. Intellectually ready, we can debate about it. It’s debatable. Emotionally ready, it is judgment call. You know yourself. You know when you are emotionally ready for something. Financially ready, mga kaibigan hindi po ako financially ready. Matagal na po akong nagtatrabaho dito sa industriyang ito. Nakaipon na ako nang konti para sa komportableng buhay ng nanay, ako at ang aking kapatid, para sa aming maliit na pamilya. If I lose my job tomorrow, hindi ako magsisinungaling, I am okay.
