    Nine years of working for CNN Philippines started and ended on the website and our social media pages to deliver content that is fair, accurate, and balanced. Erased just like that. Allow me to grieve this loss.

    At least two candidates prove CNNPH did not release questions in advance, showing pages of notes they took during the live event. Robredo and Ong share they wrote talk points without assurance they will be asked to answer the questions. cnnphilippines.com/news/2022/2/28…

    Sa huli, hindi lang kaming mga empleyado ang talo, kung hindi ang taumbayan. Nabawasan tayo ng isang maghahayag nang malaya, magmamatyag nang masinsinan, at kukwestiyon nang walang takot. Karangalan naming makapaglingkod sa inyo.

    The Philippines stands to lose its succeeding vaccine allocation from COVAX after this mayor — a non-health worker — received his AstraZeneca shot. WHO strongly recommend using limited doses on medical frontliners, then elderlies, then those with comorbidities. @cnnphilippines

    Here's why Jensen and The Flips' "apology" is problematic: 1. "We stand united" - You shouldn't have your band member's back when he forced himself on a woman. 2. "We will get through this" - You don't get to play the victim. Your non-apologetic apology is not welcome here.

    Side story: For the CNNPH digital news team, we didn't know the exact questions and which candidates will be asked to answer them to avoid leakage. We identified, assigned, and wrote the stories as it was airing live. So kahit kami, walang undue advantage. 😊

    DOH debunks the Facebook post of National Task Force Against COVID-19 advisor Ted Herbosa, brands the graphics as fake news. DOH says COVID 'stages' aren't based on body parts, rather, it depends symptoms. It also says 'tuob' and antibiotics can't cure COVID-19 @cnnphilippines

    It's back to square one for the bill prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity or expression. "Should we still debate about something as basic as equality? For three years? Really?" -⁦ Sen. @risahontiveroscnnphilippines.com/news/2019/6/4/…

    Even the DOH warns of possible implications of allowing one politician to breach the vaccine priority line: Giving the vaccines to non-healthcare workers when not all HCWs have been vaccinated will jeopardize the succeeding doses from COVAX. @cnnphilippines

    The verified YouTube account on Twitter says it has terminated the account of televangelist Apollo Quiboloy for violating community guidelines. This comes after a user flagged that the account is posting videos despite Quiboloy's standing FBI arrest warrant. @cnnphilippines
