00:00Hi Sasa Girl!

00:05Hello girls! Good to see you again!

00:07I miss you madam!

00:10Hello, how are you?

00:12I'm really glad that Madam is featured on the show.

00:16It was a very popular show at KMJS.

00:19And I'm really glad that I didn't have featured as high option.

00:24I'm also a gay person.

00:26I'm really good, Sasa Girl.

00:28There are a lot of new people who are endangered.

00:32It's so good.

00:34Madam, hello!

00:36Hello!

00:38The legendary, of course.

00:40We've been teaching it to Madam.

00:42You've been teaching?

00:44Why?

00:45Why?

00:46She has a lot of influence in the industry.

00:49Especially the way she reports.

00:52Of course, she gives the truth to our audience.

00:56How are you?

01:00I'm good.

01:01It's my 40th year this year.

01:04So, dun sa 75 years ng GMA, 40 yung covered ko.

01:10Wow!

01:11Kasi I started working in GMA in 1985.

01:14So, ikka-40th year ko na to.

01:16And I'm happy and honored to have witnessed so much.

01:20Ang laki nung in expand ng GMA through the years.

01:26Ang dami nang nangyari.

01:28So, I'm also privileged to have witnessed so much history.

01:32But at the same time, I'd also like to pay tribute dun sa mga pioneer ng GMA News.

01:38Of course.

01:39Of course.

01:40Kasi sila talaga yung nagtatag ng aming news organization.

01:45Ang ganda nung history actually eh.

01:48So, if you'd care to listen, yung mga bata alam ko medyo pag-history na ah.

01:52Hindi.

01:53Interesado sila dito.

01:54Pero alam nyo, ang umpisa ng GMA was something like may mga nawalan ng trabaho sa ABS-CBN during martial law.

02:03Nagsara yung ABS-CBN for the first time.

02:08And then, so there was this bunch of former newsmen nawalan trabaho.

02:14And they thought, one day, bili tayo ng airtime. Mag-block time tayo sa GMA.

02:19So, they bought airtime and that was how GMA News was born.

02:24Kasi nung araw daw, ang kwento sa amin, si Uncle Bob would just grab the newspaper and read the news.

02:30Okay.

02:31So, diaryo lang, dinabasa niya, yun na yung news nung araw.

02:34Until this bunch of newsmen thought of buying black time in GMA and put up GMA News.

02:40So, until na-absorb na sila ng network.

02:43So, we really owe them our legs and our wings, itong mga pioneer ng GMA News.

02:50And of course, syempre, thank you din sa talaga namang passion ng pag-servisyo at pag lahat ng katotohanan sa mga.

02:57Yes. Yung values namin ngayon, we cannot claim credit for that.

03:01Because as you know, Martin, everything in news and public affairs is teamwork.

03:06Hindi pwedeng i-claim ng isang tao yan.

03:09Exactly.

03:10So, yung values namin ngayon, we owe that to the pioneers.

03:14Yung fairness, yung balance, responsible news coverage and reporting.

03:21Of course, accuracy, vital yun.

03:24Lahat siyan, minana namin from our pioneers.

03:27So, yun.

03:29And briefly, if I could mention all their names,

03:32Mr. Tony Seva, Tina Monzon Palma, Ray Vidal, June Bautista, Tony Lozano,

03:38si Mang Vic, our director, si Tata Steve Serna,

03:42yung mga cameraman namin, yung cameraman ko na si Rick Villegas,

03:47si Boy Sonza, si Nap Pineda, si Willie Lucas, si Dandy Seva, maraming marami pang iba.

03:54So, ayun. At yung mga naging kasama din namin sa production side,

03:59Marisa Flores, si Kelly Verjel de Dios, si Ricky Menjola.

04:04Lahat yun, kasama namin na nagbuo nitong aming news organization.

04:09So, nasisenti lang ako kasi it's the 75th year of GMA.

04:14So, I'd like to pay homage and tribute dun sa mga nakasama namin through the years.

04:20Ma'am Jess, you mentioned this is your 40th anniversary here.

04:24Napakaraming mong napagdaanan.

04:26Meron ka bang memorable moment, memorable coverage

04:29na mapipick out mo dyan na talagang favorite ko to?

04:33Hindi ko makakalimutan to.

04:34Hindi ko makakalimutan, Martin. Unfortunately, yung mga masasama.

04:38Uy! Okay.

04:39Yung mga buwis-buhay na coverage namin.

04:41Correct.

04:42And how we survived to tell the story, diba?

04:45Wow.

04:46We survived a landmine in explosion in Afghanistan.

04:50Laging pinapalatas tas yan.

04:52We survived going to the Spratlys.

04:55At the time na wala pang masyadong alam yung mga kababayan natin kung nasan ba yung Spratlys.

05:02We rode a small Air Force airplane.

05:06And then, hindi nahanap yung Pag-asa Island, the biggest island na kiniklaim ng Pilipinas.

05:12And then, we returned back.

05:15We were supposed to go back to Puerto Princesa, pero naligaw yung aming aeroplano.

05:20Yung pala nandun na kami sa dulo ng Palawan.

05:23In the meantime, we were given up for dead in Manila.

05:26And my office mates were already preparing our obituaries.

05:30And our relatives had been told.

05:32And they were already praying for us.

05:34But fortunately, by some miracle, our pilot found a small island

05:42where he managed to land the plane with very little fuel.

05:47So, pag land nung aeroplano, bug. Tumigil na.

05:52Wala na siyang gasolina. Konti na lang.

05:55So, that's the story of yung adventure namin or misadventure namin sa Spratlys.

06:01And so many others.

06:03I also covered yung kaguluhan dati in Israel

06:07when there was some conflict in Bethlehem, which is very ironic

06:12kasi yun ang birthplace ni Jesus Christ, di ba?

06:15Hanggang ngayon, walang katahimikan doon.

06:17So, marami na.

06:19Every time, yung Yolanda, hindi ko makakalimutan yun, yung mga lindol.

06:23And from 85 until before year 2000.

06:30Ang daming ko attempts noon.

06:32Sunod-sunod.

06:33And I was covering the defense and military.

06:35And those were really very dangerous days.

06:38But thank God, we survived everything.

06:41So, nandito ko na ikukwento ko sa inyo.

06:44Yeah.

06:45So, lessons in history.

06:47Ano mo, gusto ko pang mapakinggan yung mga kwento ni Ma'am Jess.

06:51Unfortunately, Ma'am Jess, we have to wrap it up.

06:53But just on a final note here, how proud are you of GMA News first off, that it got to where it is right now?

07:02I'm wearing it.

07:03You're wearing it?

07:04Yes.

07:05Exactly.

07:06This is GMA News.

07:07And that you're part of the 75th anniversary.

07:08Yes.

07:09It says,

07:10Oh, ano?

07:11Walang kinikilingan, walang pinoprotektahan, servisyong totoo lamang.

07:18Wow.

07:19So, I wear my belief.

07:22Si Ma'am Jess lang.

07:23Ang nakapag-customize niyan kay Mr. Garin Ma.

07:27O, hindi ka mo naman.

07:28I paid for this, ha.

07:29Kaya, napadesign ko yung gusto ko.

07:33The old logo, di ba?

07:35With some...

07:36O, yung building din.

07:37Oh, yung building.

07:38Wow.

07:39See?

07:40Okay.
