Boy Abunda’s winning streak continues with the Best Public Affairs Program Host award he won recently from PMPC Star Awards for Television for hosting “The Bottomline with Boy Abunda,” which also nabbed the Best Public Affairs Program plum.


The King of Talk has been most awarded for his work as television host. He was inducted to the PMPC Hall of Fame as Best Showbiz-Oriented Show Host in 2011 having won in this category for 15 consecutive years.


As a public affairs program host, Boy started with the iconic “Private Conversations.” The show earned for him the Best Public Affairs Program Host for many years from the PMPC.


With “The Bottomline with Boy Abunda,” Boy made successive wins as Best Public Affairs Program Host in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013.


“The journey continues. I am still learning but I always try to give my best. I have never been more inspired to work. It gives me so much joy to be honored as such but I am also humbled by the recognition,” says Boy.


Also this year, “The Bottomline with Boy Abunda” was adjudged Best Talk Show by the Catholic Mass Media Awards (CMMA).


Aside from the PMPC and CMMA, other awards tucked under his celebrity belt include: 3rd Educators & Critics Circle Awards for Media Communications Influential Endorser of Year (2013), Best Talk Show Host in UPLB Gandingan Awards for “Homeboy” (2006) and “Boy and Kris” (2007–2008), Gantimpalang Lampara ng Kultura at Sining Outstanding Broadcast Journalist/Arts Educator, USTV Awards 2013 Best Entertainment News Program Host for “The Buzz,” and USTV Awards 2013 Best Public Affairs Talk Show Program for “The Bottomline with Boy Abunda.”

‘Killer Karaoke’ Makes It To Top 10


TV5’s newest musical game show “Killer Karaoke Pinoy Naman” made it to Nielsen’s Top 10 evening programs in Mega Manila for Nov. 23, according to Nielsen Media’s Daily Round Up.


The local version of the hit US show “Killer Karaoke” advanced to the Top 9 spot last Saturday, based on Nielsen’s Mega Manila Television Audience Measurement (MegaTAM), while remaining in the top 10 rank in the national level based on Nationwide Urban Television Audience Measurement (NuTAM).


Hosted by funny man Michael V., “Killer Karaoke Pinoy Naman” is fast becoming a weekend favorite thanks to its hilarious format. Can you sing while being dunked in a tank full of snakes? Or while holding out your hands to crawling spiders and maggots? These are just some of the crazy challenges contestants have to face to make it to the final showdown, the spinning turntable, where the last one standing (and singing) takes home the jackpot.


This Saturday, six celebrities will try to carry a tune without screaming too much in fear of the challenges: socialite-philanthropist Tessa Prieto, sexy star Ehra Madrigal, TV host IC Mendoza, Kapatid hunk Vin Abrenica, Fil-Australian model Gerard Sison, and “Artista Academy’s” mysterious babe Malak So Shdifat.


“Killer Karaoke Pinoy Naman” airs Saturdays, 8:30 p.m. on TV5.
