'Life goes on': Amid scandal allegations, Paolo Bediones resumes newscast

Amid allegations that he figured in a sex video leaked online this past weekend, Paolo Bediones resumed his news reading duties on Monday night while sending out a message of thanks to his supporters.

 

Bediones took to Instagram to thank family, friends, and fans amid the controversy.

 

"I am truly blessed to have a family like mine. Solid friends around me and supporters who are there no matter what. Overwhelming love. Life goes on. On air in a bit," he wrote as a caption on a picture of his wardrobe for the evening's newscast.

 

 

Bediones was a trending topic on Twitter through the weekend after a video allegedly of him having sex with an unidentified woman went viral.

 

His television network earlier expressed support for him amid the issue.

 

"The recent issue involving our news anchor, Paolo Bediones, on social media is a purely personal and private matter in which TV5 has no involvement or desire to intrude," TV5 said in the statement.

 

"We accord our employees and talents all respect that are due them for their privacy and personal action or decision.

 

"We disapprove strongly the malicious and wanton publication of the video, an act that clearly violates pertinent cybercrime laws.

 

"We firmly express our support for our anchor Paolo Bediones in the face of a controversy that represents nothing more than an attempt to smear his reputation." — JST, GMA News
