Matapos maglabas ng kanyang pagkadismaya dahil sa controversial na interview ni Boy Abunda kay VP Leni Robredo, ay ibinunyag ng beteranang actress na nagka-usap na sila ng King of All Talk.
Kwento ni Rita sa kanyang post sa social media.
“Out of decency, I reached out to him and he called to return the respect. In his appreciation for my trust, we promised to remain as good friends in this kind of world.
“For the longest time, Boy and I have been friends though we do not see each other often.
“We are both outspoken and honest, yet, we can still respect each other even if we say dissenting comments or otherwise about relevant issues.
“Boy had good words for VP Leni when he called me up; am sharing this para medyo mapawi naman ang mga puso nating nasaktan.
“Boy didn’t see anything wrong with my public opinion, you are free to think of what you want but what matters to me is Boy.
“I felt free to voice out in public because I have my own honest opinion about something I have witnessed. D lang ako ang nakakita at nakaramdam.
“I felt free to voice out because I know Boy will accept my honesty. I felt free to voice out because it was also the voice of many.
“Kaya nga sabi sa akin ni Boy, ‘Tell them that I called you up after reading your text message so they could see how proper & respectful two open minded friends can be.’ Thanks to all who saw the good lesson.
“We both listened to each other. That is how far I can go."
