The Philippines’ King of Talk, Boy Abunda visited Japan to attend the launch of Astoria Vacation & Leisure Club, Inc. (AVLCI) held at Hilton Tokyo on July 19.

Together with AVLCI President Jeffrey Ng and other executives, the veteran TV show host introduced the leading timeshare company in the Philippines to leaders and members of the Filipino-Japanese community. 

“I’m really happy to be here in Tokyo. Welcome to the world of Astoria,” Abunda greeted. “Every time I need anything, every time I need to do something, every time I need something from friends, top of mind is Astoria. Mahalaga po sa akin ito because Astoria is family.” 

Ng announced that this is AVLCI’s first venture outside the Philippines.

Abunda interviewed three OFWs, namely, Lovely Pineda Ishii, Ramiel Diez and Abby Watabe, who shared the hardships and struggles that they went through to fulfill their dreams and achieve success in life.

Six lucky winners from the audience won hotel accommodations courtesy of RCI and AVLCI.
