    Kung binabastos nang ganito ang kasamahan mong reporter, tumindig ka, tanungin mo uli yung tanong na ayaw sagutin. Silence means complicity. Industriya natin ang inaatake dito. Ano yun, magsasalita ka na lang pag nangyari na sa’yo? Journalist tawag mo sa sarili mo tapos duwag ka?

    Noynoy Aquino wasn't perfect, but his anti-corruption drive helped revive the Philippine economy. We were able to criticize his policies without the fear that the state would come after us. Thank you for your service, PNoy. Rest in peace.

    Our politicians, Cabinet secretaries, and even their families are getting prioritized in testing for COVID-19. So what’s really the DOH policy here? Isn’t there a triage to be followed? So mas priority ba ang makapangyarihan dito kaysa ordinaryong Pilipino?

    Only Net25, SMNI, and GMA7 were invited to the press conference of the presumptive president. State-run PTV4 not even there. Preview of what’s to come for the critical press by June 30. Pilipinas, game knb?

    It has truly been an honor to tell the stories inspired by the “pink revolution” of the 2022 elections. Thanks to VP Leni and Sen Kiko for treating journalists with respect. Definitely learned a lot in this coverage and earned friends for life. Tuloy-tuloy lang tayo. 💪🏻

    FACT: Been covering VP Leni Robredo’s presidential campaign since she declared her candidacy. NEVER did she say there would be chaos if she loses this race. Her male rivals fell into that trap of a question ‘no? #PHVote

    Duterte’s ego is so small that he would threaten our medical frontliners just because they told him our healthcare system is on the brink of collapse. Mr. President, they spoke up not to spite you, but to HELP YOU address this pandemic. Grow up.
