“Today in 2011. I was tasked to substitute for [Pia Guanio] and anchor Chika Minute of 24 Oras. This was my very first time to step on the set of a primetime news program,” he wrote.
“I can never forget how Sir Mike (Enriquez) and Tita Mel (Tiangco) kept telling me to just breathe and relax,” he added.
The journalist also thanked his “bosses” who gave him a chance. “In the picture you can see how proud a friend Tita Mel was. My heart is eternally grateful.”
In the comments section, Dingdong Dantes shared how he still “clearly [remembers] this first 24 Oras broadcast of [his.]”
