We tried to interview Bongbong Marcos for the last time in this campaign, but his security was, as usual, very rough. Two of my female colleagues got pushed, as the people around him chant: "Protect BBM! Protect BBM!"

Trust me, NOBODY wants to be out and about when there's a pandemic. NOBODY. But they're out there why? Because they need to. Because they will then literally have to choose between death by hunger or death by the coronavirus. What choice is that, you say? Exactly.

To highlight the impact of ABS-CBN's franchise loss is not an insult or a slight against media who aren't ABS-CBN. It's a fact – nabawasan TAYO ng ranks. Nabawasan tayong lahat ng reach. ABS-CBN's loss is our collective loss, it's the loss of the public we're supposed to serve.
