The Correspondent

THE CORRESPONDENT
-ryandgreat


i grew-up watching frontpage: ulat ni mel tiangco everyday! it's my source of daily dose of news in high school (and favorite ko kase si tita mel!) 

and i also remember watching public affairs shows in the late 90's, 

gma-7's i-witness on mondays,
the probe team on tuesdays,
imbestigador on wednesdays, 
debate on thursdays

and its counterparts are inside story of loren legarda, assignment of teddy locsin jr. and the correspondents

and obviously i don't watch abs-cbn current affairs programs that much! hehe

ed lingao is a well-known documentarist
 on tv and one of the correspondents, an award-winning investigative news program of abs-cbn


i've seen him twice already, first during a dokyufest in college and then in a media convention in 2011

and he's known among colleagues in the industry

and yesterday he was launched as the new anchor of our late night newscast aksyon tonite, replacing paolo bediones and martin andanar

his first assignment was an anchor's away from the studio,

that means to deliver the news on-site (depending on the top story of the day) from remote broadcast

it's my first manila assignment since i just got back from a month-long coverage in albay, so i have no idea about these changes

November 3 | Ed Lingao on his first Aksyon Tonite anchoring
and it's truly an honor to be the first remote producer for this task,

i have this visual imprint in my mind before and i'm more than thrilled to be part of this endeavor

i feel intimidated but at the same time i am excited to work with a real journalist!

he's incredible! down-to-earth, professional and his humility strikes me

this is particularly challenging and i really don't mind spending late nights at work everyday because this is such a delight for me

i'd like to be involve in some way and hopefully to do more of this

welcome back po sir ed or bok!
