Emosyunal ang singer-actor na si Ariel Rivera nang magbigay siya ng mensahe sa dati niyang manager na si Boy Abunda.
Sa isang episode ng “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda” kamakailan, sinabi ni Ariel na binago raw ng Asia’s King of Talk ang buhay niya.
“If there’s one, one, one person that I can thank who changed my life that would be you, Boy.” saad ni Ariel. Without you…I’ve achieved nothing, I wouldn’t have the life with my wife, I wouldn’t have my boys and that’s all due to you.”
Dagdag pa niya: “Because of you, you changed my life. And I want to thank you for always being there. We worked as partners but you’re always the rock behind me.”
Samantala, nagpasalamat din naman si Boy sa tiwala at paniniwalang ibinigay ni Ariel sa kaniya.
“A large part of who I am ay ‘yong sugal nating dalawa. Ang lakas-lakas ng loob ko. Pero mas lumakas pa ang loob ko dahil nasubukan ko ‘yong journey natin,” aniya.
Matatandaang nagsimulang umalingawngaw ang pangalan ni Ariel noong ‘90s at binansagan pa siyang “Kilabot ng mga Kolehiyala.”
