"Unang Hirit" host and weatherman Anjo Pertierra is among the journalists braving the heavy rains and floods to keep the public informed.

In an Instagram post on Friday, Anjo shared photos from his coverage, spotlighting the Filipinos whose homes were affected by the destructive flood.

"Mahirap ang trabaho pero mas mahirap ang sitwasyon nila," he said. "Para sa inyo po ang lahat ng ito. Susuyurin at magbabalita saan man."

He also gave a shoutout to the GMA Integrated News workers behind the cameras.

"Lupit ng crew at staff wala ring inuurungan," Anjo said.
