MANILA – Boy Abunda admitted retiring from the entertainment industry has already crossed his mind.

In an article by entertainment site Push, Abunda, however, was quoted to have said he feels extremely blessed that he does not feel the right time to retire has come.

Speaking during the launch of his “It’s Like This” book, the TV host said: "Wala pa [akong plano mag-retire], pero may mga pagkakataon na gusto ko na.”

“Sometimes I talk to myself. Iniisip ko kailan kaya ako makakapagbakasyon ng isang buwan na diretso?" he added.

While he also wants time to rest, Abunda said he cannot complain with all the opportunities coming his way.

"ABS-CBN has treated me so well all these years but compare the pagod to the blessings, ang layo. That's why I'm eternally grateful for all the blessings," he said.

Asked what age he sees himself taking a step back from the limelight, he said: "I don't think I will ever retire, pero I want to take a break. When? I don't know. I will listen to the whisper.”

Currently, Abunda hosts “Tonight with Boy Abunda” which airs on ABS-CBN from Monday to Friday. He also hosts “The Bottomline” which airs every Saturday.
