Trending for Truthfulness: Vicky Morales lauded for being the public's voice on Koko Pimentel's quarantine breach

For almost two decades, Kapuso TV host and news anchor Vicky Morales has been recognized as the Fairy Godmother ng Bayan in the news and public affairs program 'Wish Ko Lang'.

People mostly know her for being compassionate and soft-spoken.

However, on Wednesday night, March 25, viewers got to see her in a different light during her 24 Oras interview with the medical director of Makati Medical Center, Dr. Bong Javier, about Sen. Koko Pimentel's violation of home quarantine protocols.

During the interview, Vicky said to Dr. Javier, “Doc, medyo nakakagalit, nakakalungkot itong nangyari sa hanay ng mga health worker sa Makati Medical Center. I can just imagine siguro umuusok 'yung mga chat group ng mga doktor sa mga sandaling ito.”

Vicky was clearly frustrated, just like most Filipinos; and understandably so, since her father is a medical professional.

Dr. Dante Morales is a cardiologist at the Makati Medical Center.

Netizens gave plaudits to Vicky and her co-anchors, Jessica Soho and Atom Araullo, for being inquisitive and straightforward while maintaining professionalism as they conducted the interviews and delivered the news.

24 Oras, Jessica Soho, and Vicky Morales quickly became trending topics on Twitter Philippines, and the feed was flooded with either compliments or funny memes.

One netizen also pointed out that the Vicky they saw on Wednesday night was very different from the Vicky they have known in 'Wish Ko Lang', and that they admire how she was fierce yet well-composed at the same time.

Vicky Morales, Ate ng Bayan

This fierce or 'palaban' side of Vicky is really nothing new.

In her public affairs program Ilaban Natin 'Yan, Vicky fearlessly mediates between two feuding camps and helps them resolve their problem.

In the program, Vicky listens to both parties and gives her objective viewpoint and advice, along with a group of experts called the "Lupon ng Opinyon."

If you want to see more of Vicky's admirable fierceness, impartiality, and compassion, watch her every Saturday in 'Ilaban Natin 'Yan', 4 PM, after Tadhana on GMA-7.
