-ryandgreat

NOTE: the 2014 journey of Senator Bong Revilla to prison

my month of june at work was filled by the many life events of senator bong revilla jr. and in a way has significantly and almost ruined my career!

senator bong revilla jr. held a privilege speech at the regular session of senate on 9th june, days after he was charged of cases related to pork barrel scam

in that privilege speech he instead convey a "thank you" message to all his supporters, prens, colleagues and family

June 26 |  Senator Bong Revilla live for Aksyon Breaking at Sandiganbayan

he appeals to president aquino that they have focus more on the welfare of our country,

and insists that he's innocent on the charges against him and goes on a heartfelt thank you addressed to his supporters 

and part of his speech is a video presentation with a song that tells about gratitude!

mae anne los banos did briefly summarize the speech of senator bong revilla jr. and that aired on aksyon primetime

i'll remember senator bong revilla jr. as kap and alyas pogi! and i've to admit i voted him when he first run as senator in the 2004 national elex

two weeks later, on 13th june and 20th june, supporters of revilla family gathered outside the revilla mansion in bacoor, cavite

this is in response to the forthcoming arrest of senator bong revilla jr.

later that evening, he holds presscon where he said that he's ready to be detained and again he insisted that he's innocent

for reasons beyond my control, we're not able to carry the presscon for live broadcast,

instead we aired playbacks, live situation-er and live interview with vice governonr jolo revilla for aksyon primetime

and later on senator bong revilla jr. himself granted us a live interview

noteworthy that he's wearing a white t-shirt that has a bible verse printed on it

as the event becomes intense, there's an impending backlash in the dark!

and to make the situation worse, my boss made assumption that we're not prepared,

in fact we've been working so hard that day to meet all the needed requirements of the day

except for that one impossible deal that i cannot conform and it's beyond my control

i have all the required video materials and substitute a playback videos

but the studio producers command to fill in what they prefer and besides we're only following the show if they say to do it live then we have to

given the events on that day and how upset we've become as the admonishment came to fore

i feel outraged that i needed to make my vent to be known and pushed it so far, i've become outspoken

with all due respect to my superiors they should find out things before criticizing me

that's what they said and that's not what i meant, because whatever i'm doing at that time, i'm doing it with utmost dedication and hard work



at the end of the day the events go away

never mind that there are jerks around and i'd rather not think of them and i should bring my focus to more important matters in life

i have calmed down and reflected on it 

perhaps i now have a more serious attitude towards my work and it's a long way to go

and after few days, i was sent out on another bong revilla jr. news coverage! at the sandiganbayan, 

it was highly important news coverage of the week!

there were 5 reporters on the field, i worked with maricel halili, jove francisco, bev natividad and trish roque

and, nothing but thank you for entrusting me another highly important news coverage, rest assure that i will fulfill whatever we need to accomplish!
