Boy Abunda expressed his disappointment with his former ward, Erik Santos, and wanted to “set the record straight” on why the artist transferred to Star Magic.
According to Boy, “Erik didn’t leave Backroom. He was released. We gave him a formal letter explaining why we had to let him go. This was because he badmouthed Backroom and lied to some of our common friends.”
Boy was reacting to Erik's statement that Erik chose to leave Backroom because “there were a lot of changes in its management” since Abunda left it to focus on caring for his ailing mother.” Erik explained: “I’m not saying I didn’t like the changes. It’s just that I have other considerations, both personal and professional.” Erik ended his seven-year business relationship with Backroom Inc. in August, and is now comanaged by ABS-CBN’s Star Magic group and Cornerstone Talent Management Center headed by Erickson Raymundo.
“I nurtured him, although he also worked hard,” Abunda said. “I think Erik has forgotten this. It’s sad that he has disregarded the contributions of Backroom to his career.” Boy said he felt bad when he found out that Santos had spoken to people about how he felt Backroom had neglected him. “Erik also said he disliked some of the people in the office. I just want to remind Erik to slow down. He should give credit where credit is due.”
