Boy Abunda Reacts To 'Bourne' Director's Comment On Manila

Boy Abunda has taken offense at "The Bourne Legacy" director-scriptwriter Tony Gilroy's comments that Manila is "ugly" and "stinky."

The popular talent manager and news anchor fumed on "Bandila" Wednesday calling Gilroy, "walanghiya."

"After the welcome they got in this country...when interviewed by the BBC you say 'I went to Manila because it stinks'? Unfair 'yan," Abunda ranted.

"Ito'y personal na opinion ko lamang. I don't like to be told that you come to my place because it stinks," he added.
