The television host and talent manager is vocal in his belief that gays and lesbians share a common cause with women and Liza Maza, as the face of women empowerment in the country as well as a known supporter of the LGBT community, has the capacity to further promote the human rights and equality of the marginalized sectors society in the Senate.

The 20-20 Movement aims to widen the support for Liza Maza's candidacy by "chain-texting" and campaigning to 20 family members and friends, encouraging them to vote for her in the coming May 10, 2010 senatorial elections.

Boy Abunda is the first in the series of "text blasts" and will be followed by other supporters of Liza Maza for Senator in the entertainment and sports industry, as well as, in the academe and politics.

Maza is currently in CARAGA region with Nacionalista Party standard-bearer Manny Villar and the rest of the NP senatorial slate for a campaign sortie. ###
