FunTranscript
00:00And welcome to Fast Talk with Boy Abunda.
00:29Welcome to the program.
00:32Some weeks ago, there was a trade event, the GMA7.
00:36And we went there.
00:38That night was very important because I was made the star of the night.
00:47For the longest time here in this industry,
00:52it was the first time I received the star of the night.
00:55That's why this title is very important to me.
00:59We are very happy this afternoon because we have friends here with us.
01:06Sometimes, we say that we can't do it anymore.
01:11And why can't it be?
01:13What we are talking about is singing and talking about what will happen this afternoon.
01:17Please welcome Richard Reynoso and Rani Raimundo.
01:21Nice to meet you.
01:28Thank you very much.
01:32Please.
01:33Finally, we're sitting here.
01:35After three years?
01:36Yes.
01:37What can you say?
01:39Renz and Chad are the first ones here.
01:41Well, you know, age before beauty.
01:42Yes.
01:43Really?
01:44They accepted it?
01:45Yes, they're the first ones.
01:46What is the best thing about Chad and Renz as hitmen?
01:58Chad is known to be very quiet.
02:02But Chad is the one who makes all of our gags on the show.
02:07Really?
02:08Yes.
02:09He's the one who makes all of them.
02:10Okay.
02:11And he keeps telling us the punchline.
02:15Yes.
02:16There's a punchline and then he repeats it.
02:18So you'll keep laughing?
02:19Yes.
02:20But usually, he's the last one to laugh.
02:24Okay.
02:25What about Renz?
02:26Renz is a very honest friend.
02:29And most of all, he's very good at numbers.
02:32That guy is a walking calculator.
02:35Wow.
02:36I didn't know that.
02:37Yes.
02:38He's Ilocano.
02:39He's an economist.
02:40He's from UP.
02:41Yes.
02:42He's very bright.
02:43He's the one who holds the fund of OPM Hitmen.
02:45We'll talk about it later.
02:46But is there a disagreement among the four of you as to who is the most handsome?
02:55I don't think there is.
02:56There isn't.
02:57Just accept who is the most handsome.
02:59We've already accepted.
03:00Accept what?
03:01Who?
03:02We've already accepted that we shouldn't be talking about this.
03:05You're so good at this.
03:07We're going to fight.
03:09I know.
03:10Let's talk about the past and present in the context of hits.
03:14Oh, yeah.
03:15Right?
03:16Let's start so that our parents, fathers, and loved ones can remember.
03:20Can you do us a few lines, perhaps from your song, Paminsan Minsan?
03:25When you were recording that song, did you know that it was going to be a hit?
03:29Oh, no.
03:30But I really loved that song when it was presented to me by A. Rumpol.
03:36Who was a hit maker?
03:37Yeah.
03:38I mean, okay.
03:39But the problem was when I was looking for a song for my album,
03:44when he presented it to me, he said that there was a problem with it.
03:47Because he already got it.
03:49I asked him, why did you give it to me?
03:51He said, because I only paid 50 percent.
03:54Maybe I shouldn't have used it.
03:59Maybe I shouldn't have used it.
04:02That's why I'm giving it to you.
04:03Maybe you want it.
04:04Then, just take it.
04:07To cut the long story short, I talked to the person who was going to use it.
04:12Then, every time I see him, I tell him that his song is really good.
04:16Suddenly, he approached me one time in the dressing room.
04:19He said, Richard, do you really want Paminsan Minsan?
04:22I said, yes.
04:23We're not going to use it.
04:24It doesn't suit our album.
04:27It was meant.
04:28Yeah, it was.
04:29How did Paminsan Minsan change your life?
04:32Well, it was my second hit.
04:34It was.
04:35My first was Indi Ko Kaya.
04:37So, of course, Paminsan Minsan legitimized my being a hit singer.
04:47This is just a trivia.
04:49There's a saying that it's hard to make a hit, but it is more difficult to do a second hit.
04:57That's true.
04:58Follow up.
04:59Follow up is very difficult.
05:01Let's go to your hit, Rani.
05:03What's the story of Why Can't…
05:06You know, Tito Boy, I don't really talk about the story of this song.
05:09But for you, I'll tell you the story.
05:11Really?
05:12I was madly in love with this young girl.
05:16It went on for a while, only to find out that we're related.
05:22So, it's not possible.
05:23We come from a very conservative old family.
05:27Like Romeo and Juliet, we were really separated.
05:31So, the real version of Why Can't It Be was actually fast.
05:35It was like a pop rock.
05:39Because I was trying to be macho and I was trying to hide it.
05:42So, it's okay.
05:43But when I met Boss Orly Ilacad of OctoArts, he said,
05:48Iho, make that into a piano.
05:50So, I listened to the wisdom of the old man.
05:53And it worked.
05:54It certainly did.
05:55Yeah.
05:56I can imagine, now that you've explained why you wrote the song
05:59and the story behind the song,
06:01you appreciate the lyrics more.
06:03That's how it is.
06:05Wow.
06:06Romeo and Juliet really happened.
06:08But did you know that we have a heart?
06:10Now, the first hit song, this one I know.
06:12Because even before you told me about this,
06:15the first hit song of Ding Dong Avanzado was written by Rani.
06:19Yes.
06:20Tatlong 25.
06:21Tatlong 25.
06:22Yeah.
06:23I was in love with it.
06:24And I was…
06:25And how did you go to Ding Dong?
06:27Well, Ding Dong, we were batchmates.
06:29Okay. So, you were courting there.
06:30What happened?
06:31I was courting.
06:32And so, I was outside the university.
06:35I was going to change the barrier for the…
06:37It was Tatlong 25 back then.
06:38To be able to call.
06:39I didn't have a barrier.
06:40I said, okay, Ali, change the barrier.
06:41He said, no, you don't have a Bible.
06:42I said, okay.
06:43I miss him so much.
06:44And then, Ding Dong was coming out.
06:46We were fresh from high school.
06:48And I said, Rans, let's record.
06:50Members of Converana.
06:51We were batchmates.
06:52We were classmates.
06:53Okay.
06:54He said, yeah, I think I have the perfect song for you.
06:56And I gave it to him.
06:57Well, now, it's called expensive.
07:00But back then, because I was actively managing during this time,
07:06how did you know that you were famous?
07:10Oh, well, first of all, you always hear my songs on the radio.
07:17At that time, there was no beautiful song that you can hear anywhere.
07:25Your song was really delicious.
07:27Where were you when you first heard it on the radio?
07:29I was in a restaurant eating.
07:32You don't forget things like this?
07:34No, no, no, no.
07:35You just never forget it.
07:36Why can't…
07:37Where were you?
07:38Well, I was just walking and a janitor was singing my song.
07:42Oh.
07:43While mapping.
07:44And I remember it like yesterday.
07:45You're right.
07:46You will not forget these things.
07:47No.
07:48Yes.
07:49You really can't forget things like this.
07:52And you can't even express that feeling.
07:55Oh, there's nothing like it.
07:57You know, our generation, of course, we want to make a living.
08:02But just hearing ourselves on the radio, that was it, you know?
08:06That's why we just signed contracts before.
08:08I remember doing a radio tour.
08:09Yes.
08:10Doing a mall tour.
08:11You better believe it.
08:12Atari, Hulu.
08:13And we also bought a physical album, right?
08:17And that's where we sometimes sleep in the car because our shows are always stuck together.
08:21That's right.
08:22And there was a time when I asked, what time is the show?
08:24They said, it's 4 o'clock in the morning.
08:26Is there still a person at that time?
08:28Yes, because they know you're coming.
08:30Okay.
08:31That's why people will be waiting.
08:33Wow.
08:34So…
08:35That's why, Tito Boy, the fulfillment is really too much.
08:40We cannot compare the following generations, right?
08:47Of course.
08:48That's unfair.
08:49But it's really sweet because our approach is really analog.
08:54We really worked hard.
08:56We would go to Odysee, Odysee Record Bars.
08:59Don't be serious.
09:00Look at the chair.
09:01That's right.
09:02Let's sleep.
09:03I'll stand here for an hour.
09:04Is that okay with you?
09:05And we really did it, you know?
09:06Even in the radio.
09:07If it's DJ's birthday, we would still go there.
09:10We would bring gifts.
09:12Not that.
09:13Food.
09:14I'm talking about analog.
09:15Let's talk about your fans.
09:16How were your fans back then?
09:18Because now, you're still exposed to the fans online.
09:22Yes.
09:23What's the difference?
09:24What's the similarity?
09:25Well, the difference is that my fans back then were Koliyala.
09:29Now, they're Koliyala's mothers.
09:31Koliyala's mothers.
09:32Okay.
09:33But the difference is, it was really organic.
09:36We really had a relationship with our fans.
09:38Yes.
09:39Did you court a fan?
09:40That's one thing I never did.
09:41You never did that?
09:42No.
09:43You, Richard?
09:44No.
09:45Oh, no.
09:46That's not allowed.
09:47But there were people who liked you.
09:48Oh, yes.
09:49And they expressed it.
09:50There were, right?
09:51Oh, yes.
09:52More than that.
09:53Nanay, let's put this aside.
09:54When Ronnie was in Entablado,
09:55he would throw his underwear at you.
09:56Yes.
09:57I have an entire, a big guitar case filled with, yeah.
10:00How did he react to that?
10:02For example, he threw his underwear at you.
10:04You know, to be honest.
10:05Did he react?
10:06Oh, yeah.
10:07Some.
10:08Because there was one time,
10:10remember this place called Music Hall?
10:12Of course.
10:13There was this girl.
10:14Our friend, Wingard Chasen, is an artist.
10:16Yeah, but this girl was doing this.
10:18The song was a ballad.
10:20She was doing this.
10:21Oh, that's how it was.
10:23How?
10:24She was dancing?
10:25No, she was sitting.
10:26She was sitting, but she was doing this.
10:28The song was a ballad.
10:29She was making fun of him.
10:30Maybe.
10:31Oh, my God.
10:32So, I was singing like this.
10:33I'll get it.
10:34And then, it lands on my hand.
10:35So, I thought it was Spanish.
10:37Wow!
10:38I had it on video.
10:39So, I was surprised.
10:43Okay.
10:45The usual duets that you do during your shows, what are they?
10:49Original.
10:50Original duets.
10:52Like?
10:53Benny Saturno gave us a song.
10:56Yeah, good old Benny.
10:57He gave us a song.
10:58And the title of the song is,
10:59Kay Hirap Tumanda.
11:00Why are you giving this to us?
11:03Kay Hirap Tumanda.
11:04Kay Hirap Tumanda.
11:07We're affected a lot.
11:08It's painful, but it's true.
11:11We don't have a problem with that age.
11:13When people ask me how old I am,
11:15I tell them my real age.
11:16Yeah.
11:17I'm proud of it.
11:18And, you know,
11:19you shouldn't be afraid of your age.
11:21Me too.
11:22When people ask me what my real age is,
11:24I tell them Renz.
11:25Me, I say I'm 42.
11:27See?
11:28Let's do fast talk.
11:29Okay?
11:30Richard, let's do fast talk.
11:32Okay.
11:33Richard.
11:34Yes.
11:35A good voice or a good man?
11:36A good man.
11:37Stubborn or paid?
11:39What?
11:40Stubborn or paid?
11:41Stubborn.
11:42Still handsome or still good?
11:43Still good.
11:44Romantic or picky?
11:45Romantic.
11:46Back then or now?
11:47Back then.
11:48More painful.
11:49No voice, no income.
11:50No income.
11:52It's harder to court an artist or court an ex-con.
11:56It's harder to court an artist.
11:57More handsome, you or Rani?
12:00Maybe me.
12:01Louder, you or Rani?
12:02Rani.
12:03Richer, you or Rani?
12:05Rani.
12:06An artist who busted you?
12:09Wow!
12:11Not yet, not yet.
12:12An artist you want to be a girlfriend with?
12:15Leah.
12:17Wow!
12:19I don't want to be a girlfriend,
12:20but I'm interested in courting.
12:22Okay.
12:23And you really courted?
12:24At one point, yeah.
12:25We'll talk about it.
12:26A singer you're afraid to duet with?
12:28Regine.
12:30Complete this.
12:31Sometimes, I remember...
12:35My yesterday.
12:37Complete this.
12:38I can't if...
12:40If I can't see my family.
12:43Lights on, lights off?
12:44Lights on.
12:46Happiness or chocolates?
12:47Definitely happiness.
12:48Best time for happiness?
12:49All the time.
12:50I want people to remember you as...
12:53A person who made them happy at one point.
12:57Why are you afraid to duet with Regine Velasquez?
13:03And I didn't know this story about Leah.
13:06You must have been very, very young.
13:07But we want to know part of that story.
13:10And in Hitmen,
13:12I heard a story that you have a common fund.
13:15Oh, yes.
13:16What's the story behind this?
13:18The story and the answers
13:19when we return with Fast Talk with Boy Abuso.
13:23Fast Talk with Boy Abuso
13:28We're back with Fast Talk with Boy Abuso.
13:31Ronnie, it's time to do Fast Talk.
13:33Alright, I've always wanted to do this.
13:34Okay, let's do it.
13:36Hot hit?
13:37Hit.
13:38Handsome or talented?
13:40Handsome.
13:41Dating,
13:42good or bad?
13:44Dating?
13:45No, no. Bad.
13:46Bad.
13:47Bad.
13:48Headache or heartache?
13:50Headache.
13:51Singer or lover?
13:52Lover.
13:53Richard or Richard?
13:56That's hard.
13:58Richard has an advantage.
13:59I have an advantage over him.
14:00Muscle.
14:01Okay.
14:02Richard has an advantage over you.
14:03Pankan.
14:04Pankan.
14:05You're right.
14:08You're going to make me a song.
14:09What's the title?
14:12Show off.
14:13Show off!
14:16Guilty or not guilty?
14:17Having a girlfriend at the same time.
14:19Guilty.
14:20Guilty or not guilty?
14:21Having an affair with an artist.
14:23Guilty.
14:24Guilty or not guilty?
14:25Performing drunk.
14:26Never.
14:27Guilty or not guilty?
14:28Being a nuisance to the manager.
14:29Never.
14:30Lights on or lights off?
14:31On!
14:32Happiness or chocolates?
14:33Happiness.
14:34Best time for happiness?
14:36Every time.
14:37I want people to remember me as?
14:40An Orib.
14:44That's good.
14:45Beautiful.
14:46Talk about, why don't you want to work with Regine in a duet?
14:48I know we don't have much time.
14:50I'm just laughing at what she said.
14:52You asked earlier about having an affair with two girlfriends.
14:55What's bad about this is that we both had a girlfriend because she's a girl.
15:01But let's not talk about that.
15:03Anyway, so Regine, why?
15:05Regine, well, she's super good.
15:07Her range is so...
15:09Ah, okay.
15:10So, what do you call this?
15:11It's too wide.
15:12So, it's hard to be with her.
15:14The great Lea Salonga.
15:16Did you have an affair with her?
15:17We were very, very good friends.
15:19The problem was, when I was interested already to make that next step,
15:27someone interviewed me who misquoted me.
15:30Our relationship was ruined.
15:32You have a common fund.
15:34You're hitmen.
15:35We have one minute.
15:36Why did this happen?
15:38I mean, what happened?
15:39Well, number one, on and off stage, we're really good friends.
15:43And we really love each other.
15:45And we decided, we want to do this for a long, long time.
15:48We made a fund.
15:50And that fund, Tito Boy, was the one who saved us during the lockdown.
15:54And we even used it to help other artists.
15:57And to help others.
15:58So, we have a discipline.
16:00A certain percentage of the show that we do goes to that fund.
16:04I hope the young performers will imitate that.
16:07And thank you very much.
16:09As I say goodbye, please sing a song.
16:11Naitay Kapuso.
16:13Wait, Tito Boy.
16:14We want to ask you something.
16:15Okay.
16:16We still have time.
16:17Just one.
16:18Tito Boy, before you left earlier,
16:20Okay.
16:21what did the mirror tell you?
16:22Ah, it told me.
16:23And if you talked to your mirror,
16:26lights on or lights off?
16:28Lights on.
16:29Okay.
16:30You'll meet two handsome men.
16:31Wow!
16:32And you'll kiss their skin.
16:33Okay.
16:34Thank you very much, Naitay Kapuso,
16:37for continuing with us in your homes every day.
16:41We'll see you again tomorrow.
16:42Goodbye for now.
16:43And God bless.
