Mailayo lang sandali sa Coronavirus...
Dahil tanghali na
ako nagising at habang nag-aalmusal, I received a private message from a journalist
friend, Johnna, asking me if I am now with BM, an acronym for Business Mirror, so
I replied, no.
She said, Martin
(referring to Usec Martin Andanar, who was also a former colleague in media)
read a question during a Media Briefing yesterday in Malacanang attributing to
my name with BM as an agency.
Some years back, I
did applied to Business Mirror before joining the DILG, but that time they
preferred a business writer over a political reporter which is not my cup of
tea.

Admittedly, there are times that I am asking myself or sometimes wanting to be
in the mainstream media. While my present work allows me to still do what I
know and love, although on a different fence, but this is not the season for me
to go back to my first job. Besides, I no longer have the adrenalin of a
25-years old who would love to chase the stories and the news sources
regardless of the risk. I am now 45, still in the recovering phase following a
mild stroke three years back. In times when I
feel like expressing myself, what I do is pen those thoughts and put it in my
personal blog like this one. |
