When Vicky Morales began to tear up, I lost it, too. Prior to 24 Oras, Vicky and Mike Enriquez were Saksi's power duo. Hats off to Tita Mel for her stoicism and fitting applause as a tribute to Mike's life.
May something talaga sa lighting ng live reports ng ABS-CBN, ano? Hinahagupit na ng bagyo pero ang ganda pa rin ng lighting. Kudos sa field crew. Hindi biro ang trabaho niyo. Ingat kayo.
My 1st bf. Yung family niya operator ng 3 unit ng UV Express at kung ano yung di bumibyahe yun ang ginagamit niya for our dates. Take note, di pa kami out pareho that time so whenever we had to go out, we had to be discreet. (1/5)
If there's any country with the highest moral ascendancy to discuss about dictators, it's Germany. They had the worst of them all. And they learned from it.

If begpacking wasn't called out, it might still be a thing in Siargao. It angers me that penniless white people have more freedom to travel than their former colonial subjects who have university degrees and decent jobs. Applying for tourist visas is dehumanizing and humiliating.
Can't forget the guy who literally just wanted to chill. He cooked 3 packs of pancit canton, took out a loaf of bread and 2L Coke. We sat down on his condo's balcony and talked about things we're passionate about. Ended w/ ice cream at 7-11 and said our goodbyes.
Nung naibaba na namin lahat ng pasahero, he showed me the money we earned.
"O, e di may extra money pa tayo"
I've known him as a jack of all trades pero on that day bumilib talaga ako sa kanya.
We ended up in Tagaytay that night. (5/5)

The mutual respect among Mike Enriquez's colleagues from other media outlets — even competitors — speaks volumes. They also respected the request of Mike's widow, Tita Babes, to delay the announcement of his passing until official word came out.
"Napakasuwerte niyo kasi 'yung mga pinakamatatamis, bata pa lang natikman niyo na. It took me forever before I finally—"

Aba. GMA execs headed by Ms Annette Gozon with Ms Cory Vidanes. Mukhang may announcement. At parang show of force na rin ahead of the MTRCB decision. ❤️💚💙🌈

Tyang Amy Perez has worn many hats throughout her career but not many people nowadays know that she used to be a regular pinch-hit news anchor, a role that she reprised just recently.
Anyway, in Pinoy Pop Culture, we aren't recognizing Amy Perez more as a noontime show legend that she is. If you are a part of two noontime shows that beat Eat Bulaga in their game (MTB and IS), you should be recognized as a legend too.
Nakilala siya bilang boses at mukha ng ABS-CBN Sky Patrol. Ngayong araw, tuluyan na siyang pumailanlang sa Ating Lumikha. Rest in peace, Patrol 39 Ricky Velasco. 🙏
Vicky Morales's grief is personally profound to me because, during my high school years, she and Mike Enriquez were the last people I listened to every night. Lalo pag may bagyo, abang-abang ng class suspensions. They were the last people I trusted before tucking into bed.
This goes beyond Showtime and the cake hullaballoo. Lala Sotto is basically saying that love between LGBTQIA+ couples isn't normal and will never be normal. What an abhorrent, mean human being Lala Sotto is.
And there he was, aced UV Express driving like a pro.

Retired na pala si Mang Tani? Sana nabigyan siya ng proper farewell broadcast parang yung mga anchors sa ibang bansa.
Kapamilya ako but during Kuya Kim's time in TV Patrol, I trusted Mang Tani's reports more because he's a meteorologist.
Sakto natigil kami sa tapat ng mga naghihintay na pasahero at nagsakayan sila. Puno agad. Tumingin ako sa kanya with "anong gagawin natin?!" written on my face. He winked and said, "ako bahala" (3/5)
Para di pagchismisan, he picks me up at a certain point, magpapanggap na may byahe by hanging the signboard. Then pagsakay ko sa unahan, aalisin dapat yung signboard and that's it. Eh isang araw nalimutan namin alisin yung signboard... (2/5)

When TV Patrol got predictable and stale in the mid-90s, we switched to the new kid in the block called Saksi with Mike Enriquez and a very young Karen Davila. 15-min radio style newscast na puro live reports. Mabilis, tipong bawal ang babagal-bagal.
Tandang tanda ko pa why we switched from ABSCBN to GMA news nung 90s. It was because of the issue ni Mel Tiangco. ABSCBN talaga pinanonood sa bahay dati kaya nga alam ko pa yang mga Abangan, Oki Doki Dok, Home Along etc.
Pero bigla sila lumipat ng panood sa GMA dahil lumipat si

Walang stance sa national issues last elex for fear of losing votes to Eusebio's puppet. Eh landslide pa rin naman pala. What was he really afraid of?
Pero magandang case study rin ang Pasig for no longer choosing an old dynasty yet still went BB/M/Sa/ra.
Bago sabihin ng ilan diyan na nagpapaawa o nag-iinarte ang mga nawalan ng trabaho sa ABS-CBN, magkaiba ang nawalan ng trabaho dahil sa pandemya at ang nawalan ng trabaho dahil sa personal na paghihiganti... (1/5)

Sorry for your loss, JV.
On the other hand, it's good that you're walking away from that company. Napakawalang puso. Yung mga TL na alipin ng team stats, may kalalagyan din sila sa afterlife. At kung gigipitin ka pa rin,consult with labor law professionals and file a case.
Gusto ba ng mga pulis na maging mangmang tayo?

Bastusan di ba? Inannounce yung cancellation ng report niya right on her face. She even got suspended for that. I say, for what? For standing your ground?
I never expected this to blow up. 😳 Salamat sa mga kinilig at umasang i-ship pa kami but he's already happy with his partner.
Sana sa dami ng engagements ng UV serye na to, kahit isa man lang sa inyo landiin ako. HAHAHAHAHA. Malay natin, di ba? 🙈💕

I must admit nasaktan ako hearing some journ pundits saying di dapat counted as legit journos ang mga nasa PTV. Sa'kin lang as a Ch4 alum, ginagawa lang din namin ang trabaho ng reporter — lumabas at kumalap ng balita. Akala kasi ng iba por que govt ka eh spoonfed ka. (1/5)
I, too, had qualms about working for the govt network again (esp during Duterte) but after much reflection and conversations with former colleagues, it's okay if you need the job — like other ex-Kapamilyas who are now with Ch 4. I might consider it, too, if they need me back.
May mga Kakampink na nagugulat pag sinabi kong personal ang galit ko sa PNoy admin. Akala nila por que I supported Leni eh I was a liberal all throughout (I didn't and I don't even consider myself one). No, I was negatively impacted in a big way noong admin niya. (1/3)

My DZMM Dream [short essay]
To be with DZMM was my biggest dream as a broadcast journalist. I find the immediacy of radio more exciting than TV. A Radyo Patrol reporter can break the news at the push of a button, anytime of the day or night, 24 hours a day, seven days a week...
Sana maunawaan din kaming mga kailangang magtago noon, kung bakit nasa 30s-40s na kami ngayon pero para pa rin kaming mga teenager kung magflex ng jowa.
Ngayon lang din namin kasi naranasan.
With worsening climate change, mas kailangan natin ng science communicators na confidently makakapagpaliwanag in layman's terms tungkol sa mga pagkilos at pagbabago ng panahon.
I, too, had qualms about working for the govt network again (esp during Duterte) but after much reflection and conversations with former colleagues, it's okay if you need the job — like other ex-Kapamilyas who are now with Ch 4. I might consider it, too, if they need me back.

In the US, it's the FCC that grants broadcast franchises — not Congress. They knew that a congressional franchise will always be political because the media is reporting on the grantors themselves.
It wasn't a pleasant one pero tumatak sa akin bilang bata.
Umiyak si Kabayan kasi pinagbibintangan ang ABS-CBN na nagnakaw/nagdoktor ng footage ng solar eclipse noong 1995 eh totoo namang the network took great lengths para makakuha ng matinong footage.
36 taon na tayong nagpapatrol para sa Pilipino!
Ano ang mga balita, kuwento o tagpong tumatak sa’yo sa mahigit 3 dekada ng ating TV Patrol?

For all its shortcomings, PTV remains a top-notch training ground for broadcast journalists. Their reporters today are much luckier than we are regarding resources and funding. But it was also the barebones circumstances before where we learned much. (1/3)

Observation ko lang lalo na sa cities, kadalasan wala nang windows sa sides kasi dikit-dikit at pataas nang pataas ang mga bahay. Firewall to firewall ang labanan. Not to mention, walang konsepto ng lawn area para i-isolate ang bahay sa katabing bahay.
Muting this. Pananaw lang ito ng isang dating nagtrabaho roon at may mga kaibigan pa rin na nagtatrabaho roon. The stigma to work for the govt station has always been there. Mas malala nga lang ngayon, and rightfully so. But again, not everyone you'll see there is corrupted.

If memory serves me right, ngayon lang nag-open ng TV Patrol si Ate B given na absent ang 3 sa 4 na main anchors. In her 10 years with the weeknight edition, it was either Ted Failon, Henry Omaga-Diaz, or Karen Davila ang opener kapag absent si Kabayan.
May disconnect talaga. How come he has 9.9M followers on TikTok and labeled as an "influencer" pero dito sa Twitter/X nasa 362 lang with zero interaction on his tweets?
Anyway, sa presinto na lang siya magpaliwanag.
Disclaimer lang. Hindi ito pag-abandona sa kilusan para sa mabuting pamumuno.
