The highly-anticipated 2022 presidential interview with Boy Abunda featuring former senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr premiered last night, January 25.

More than 306K people watched the interview following its release, and the hashtag #GoBBM took over the No. 1 trending spot in Twitter Philippines.

Marcos, who previously declined to participate in GMA Network’s Jessica Soho Presidential Interview, was the second 2022 presidential aspirant to take the hot seat in Abunda’s Presidential Interview.

In the interview, ‘Asia’s King of Talk’ grilled the former senator on the most pressing and relevant issues affecting the country, including the environment (mining), health (COVID-19), poverty (solutions to hunger), OFWs and migrant-related matters, social media and pornography, rape-related abortion, drugs, Philippine debts, and diplomacy talks on the West Philippine Sea.

Abunda also asked Marcos’ take on qualifications one must have to be a Philippine President.
