On his talk show “Tonight with Boy Abunda,” he revealed what his late mother would always tell him.
“Ang aking ina ay pumanaw noong December 1, 2019. Noon, kapag tinatanong po ako ng nanay ko tuwing napapabalita ang prangkisa ng ABS-CBN, sinasabi ng nanay, sana huwag ipasara ang ABS-CBN kasi kapag wala ka sa bahay, ito ang kasama ko,” he said.
