Funnel Cloud and the Vote-Buying Incident


May 10

One of the memorable scoops I had happened in this day. It was a funnel cloud in Bataan which was also aired in noon time news casts of GMA News TV.

Again, le me was so proud!



In the afternoon, Nadz, the one who was in-charged of the GMA News facebook account sent a message to me saying that a YouScooper sent a photo of a known celebrity doing vote-buying in a campaign rally. (Sorry Ma’am, cannot disclose the info, newsroom protocol)

It was a very controversial issue since the 40-min long video really showed the vote-buying part. I called the sender and asked about the details as we usually do. At the end of the conversation, I asked him his name and he told me that I cannot disclose it for his safety.

At this point, all the things I’ve learned in J 100 (Ethics) echoed in my ears. I know had a responsibility for I swore to the source that his name would be an internal secret in the newsroom.

I am proud to say that I lived to that promise.
