00:00How do you handle controversies in your jobs?

00:08Controversies?

00:09Wala kasi ako masyadong controversy

00:11Pero may naalala ako

00:13Ano? Ano yun?

00:14Naalala mo? I mean during the campaign of Kuya Ron

00:17of the great Fernando Poe Jr.

00:19Pero alam mo, I mean I'm sorry but a lot of people talaga

00:23a lot of people remember you for that.

00:26How did you, of course it does not define your work.

00:29It does not define your body of work.

00:32What is the story?

00:34I mean looking back now.

00:36Ang nangyari lang talaga noon ay

00:38I think hindi niya po naintindihan na naging stand-upper.

00:41Correct.

00:42Meaning, I was trying to establish myself

00:44na nandun ako mismo sa gitna ng kampanya niya

00:47at nag-deliver ako ng spiel.

00:49Pero that time po, I think ang naging explanation po

00:53later on ni Ma'am Susan Roses

00:55ay naging kung baga na-distract po si FPJ.

00:59Okay.

01:00Nagkaroon po kami ng usapan ni Ma'am Susan Roses.

01:04But a few days later, naayos naman, di ba?

01:06Yes po.

01:07Nagsabi siya na, let's forget about everything.

01:10Right.

01:11Hindi ko makalimutan kasi binulong niya talaga sa akin.

01:13You must forget.

01:15Oo, sas ang promise ko, tutuparin ko sa'yo.

01:18Ang promise niya kasi noon, exclusive interview.

01:21So after that, binigay niya talaga.

01:23Do you have a chance to read your materials prior to reading?

01:27You do, no?

01:28Yes.

01:29Binibigyan naman po kami ng story.

01:30Pero yun ay sa talent.

01:31May mga ako, may mga kilala akong newscasters

01:34na hindi talaga nilang strength ng pagbasa.

01:37Totoo.

01:38Ah, talaga?

01:39Meron.

01:40It's an art.

01:41It's really an art.

01:42And you know, the way you work the script, for example.

01:46Di ba?

01:47I wanted to talk to you about social media and, you know, journalism today.

01:51Okay.

01:52Mabilisan lamang.

01:53Ano ang inyong opinion tungkol sa kinalalagyan ngayon ng,

01:57let's say at least to be more specific, broadcast journalism and social media?

02:03Is it...

02:04Now you have to wear the hat of being chair of the department.

02:07Like is it, ano, kung nakakasira ba ang social media?

02:11Hindi.

02:12The co-existence.

02:13Let's talk about the presence.

02:15Alam mo dito boy, nung una, honestly, takot kami lahat na nasa mainstream media,

02:20nasa legacy media.

02:21Takot kami lahat pumasok sa social media.

02:24Parang may mindset na, ah, mababaw lang yan.

02:27TikTok lang yan.

02:28Ganon.

02:29Pero, we realize that yung social media, it's really just another platform for the truth.

02:35Di ba?

02:36Di ba?

02:37So, bakit hindi rin natin i-pollute or pasukin din yung social media if it's another platform to reach your audience?

02:45So, ako, I look at it that way.

02:47When I teach my students, I always tell them na, hindi dapat nagbabago ang principles of journalism just because nagpalit ng platform.

02:56Kung paano mo ikinukwento ang katotohanan sa TV, sa radyo, sa dyaryo.

03:02Ganon din dapat sa TikTok, sa Instagram, sa Facebook, sa YouTube.

03:07I get that.

03:08Ako din dito, boy, kasi dati Twitter lang, di ba?

03:11Kasi parang news-oriented yung Twitter.

03:13Pero nakita ko, some sort of a resistance na rin.

03:16Na, teka, maraming tao naniniwala sa Facebook, sa TikTok.

03:21Doon sila kumukuha ng news, kaya pumasok na rin ako doon.

03:24Dahil gusto ko na magkaroon sila ng alternative.

03:27At syempre, yung mga news platforms natin, nandun na rin po sa social media.

03:31Madalas kasi na napapag-usapan ito.

03:32Ako, I call it, ah, we have no choice eh.

03:35Nobody has a control.

03:36We will have to co-exist.

03:38Merong advantages, may disadvantages, ang pareho.

03:40Ang wala tayo, halimbawa, ang wala ang legacy media,

03:43I love to call it legacy media, ay yung immediacy, halimbawa,

03:47ng social media.

03:48Walang engagement, walang immediate reaction, halimbawa.

03:52Pag nag-post ka, merong reaksyon.

03:54Ano pa, at napakalawak.

03:57At ang audience, mas malawak.

03:59Mas malawak, di ba?

04:01So, instead of just disregarding, halimbawa, social media,

04:05you really have to embrace that.

04:07Because, halimbawa, kung lalaban ka sa,

04:10ang meron naman ang legacy media ay may credibilidad.

04:13Correct.

04:14You're edited.

04:15Correct.

04:16I mean, curated.

04:17Correct.

04:18Vetted.

04:19Correct.

04:20If you can apply this into social media.

04:23Kung gaano kaganda yan para sa sambayan ng Pilipino.

04:26Diba?

04:27Yung social media kasi, ang advantage niya, mabilis siya.

04:30Yun.

04:31Kumpara sa legacy media, mas mabilis siya.

04:33Tama.

04:34Pero hindi ibig sabihin na porke mabilis ka,

04:37dapat hindi ka na mag-fact check.

04:39Hindi.

04:40Hindi nangangahulugan na mabilis ka, totoo.

04:42Totoo.

04:43Kaya, dapat mapanuri tayo.

04:45Correct.

04:46Bilang mga mamamayan.

04:47Correct.

04:48Dahil hindi nangangahulugan na nabasa mo.

04:50Diba?

04:51Yes.

04:52Nasa GMA News na ba?

04:53Ah, okay.

04:54Totoo yun.

04:55Imagine, ang dami nagsishare noon.

04:56Diba?

04:57Ang bilis niyang kumalat talaga.

04:58So, ingat na ingat kami.

05:00We just have to keep on talking about this.

05:03Na, kailangan lang ang ating binabasa.

05:05Mapanuri tayo.

05:06Yes.

05:07O, diba?

05:08Meron kang healthy dose of skepticism.

05:10Tama.

05:11Ano lupa?

05:12Healthy dose of paranoia.

05:15Saka, ano ko dyan?

05:16Pag tinuturo ko, let's say, sa mga kamag-anak, kaibigan.

05:19Pag parang may nasa sense nga na there's something wrong eh.

05:21Parang may duda ka.

05:22O, o.

05:23Check mo na.

05:24Tama.

05:25Follow that instinct.

05:26Pati sa mga scam.

05:27Ang daming nasa scam, tito boy.

05:29If it's too good to be true.

05:31Diba?

05:32Check mo muna.
