I am eternally grateful to the esteemed members of Gawad Tanglaw for the recognition. Buboy is elated that he won. “Nakakatuwa kasi experimental lang na nag game show host ako,” he said. “Di ko akalain na mananalo pa ko as best host.”

The cool staff of his show and my “gay BF” Nelson Canlas joined the celebration. We were ribbing Buboy about how funny he looked in his earlier films like “Golden Buddha” so he should ban all VCD copies of those movies. “Nagulat ako when a fan gave me a VCD compilation of all my films,” he said. “So kahit pirated, tinanggap ko na rin (laughs). But I don’t support piracy.”

He showed me a video of a Skittles TV ad in the States which struck his attention during his recent trip. “I almost fell off my seat when I first saw this ad. Ka-aliw kasi may Pinoy na nag-Tagalog sa ad.”

Buboy also told me about a soft drink ad which he saw in Italy that blew him away. “Galing ng concept! A little boy couldn’t reach the button of his fave drink in the vendo machine so he pushed the button of the other drink until he had enough cans to step on and reach for his fave drink.” A sought-after endorser like Buboy ought to direct a TV ad soon since he really has an eye for detail.

He was on his fifth day of antibiotics for his tooth so Buboy said he could not drink wine yet. But after much prodding, he gave in and proposed a toast for more success and lasting friendship.

We are planning to go to his hometown Bohol on Holy Week and continue the outreach program for less fortunate kids in various towns of the province which he started with his wife Sunshine. The highlight of the night was when we took turns in asking Buboy “tough 10” questions. His revealing answers made us all scream with delight.

Unfortunately, it’s all off-the-record. I went home feeling happy inside. Not only do I have a Best Columnist award but also the best guy friend in Buboy. The more I know him, the luckier I feel!
