00:00The year it started, you were already there.
00:03Yes.
00:04I was born the year it started, I'm just kidding.
00:07But yep, yep, definitely.
00:09And the year before that, I joined the previous morning show, which was Mornings at GMA.
00:13So a few of us, we crossed over to when they reformatted it to Unang Hirit, because back
00:20in the day, the morning shows were actually more business-oriented.
00:23The morning show was in English before.
00:26So it was for people who were on their way to work, there were stock markets and such.
00:32Absolutely.
00:33Up to now, I don't know what the stock market is about, maybe that's why I went to this
00:39version of the morning show.
00:41But yeah, that's how it was.
00:43When they started out, it was Tito Mon Esberto, he's the true godfather of morning TV, I think.
00:48And he would do the show in one of the buildings in Makati, and it'll just be himself, and
00:54maybe he has a co-host.
00:56And then that's it.
00:57They would talk about mostly business, as it's an English language.
01:00And then they did Mornings at GMA, and it became a bit, it's still in English.
01:05Then when they became Taglish, the English people tapped out, because they couldn't do it anymore.
01:12We needed to speak Tagalog here.
01:16It's a good thing you're very versatile, right?
01:18It's possible, either way.
01:20Actually, Paolo Bejones came to me, because he was the one who was in the morning show,
01:25and he was also leaving to do a different show.
01:27So he was looking for a guy and a girl who can speak Tagalog, and he got Ryan Agoncillo
01:33to replace Paolo, and then got me to replace Cher Calvin.
01:38Because Cher is really English, she's a Filipino.
01:41So she couldn't do the newscast in Tagalog, so they got me.
01:47Some Mornings at GMA, you had a lifestyle segment, or were you doing the news?
01:53Yes, I was doing the news, as in the main thing.
01:57Oh my gosh, we've known each other for a long time.
01:59Now that I think about it, what was Suzy doing in the mornings?
02:02What was your segment?
02:03Wow, you were doing the news!
02:05As in, because Cher Calvin, that was her assignment.
02:10She was doing the main news, Tito Juan was doing the business news,
02:13Tisha Silang was doing the international news, and Paolo was doing the sports news, etc.
02:19But also, they would do features and interviews as well.
02:22So it was a four-man show where they would do everything.
02:24They had assignments for both news and features.
02:27So your assignment was hard news?
02:30Yes!
02:31Wow!
02:32Until somebody figured out that this wasn't the girl for this job.
02:40Why not?
02:41It's just that you had other interests and other likes.
02:45I think my personality is a little more casual, and also because I freaked out
02:49in a news report.
02:50I think it was, I could be mistaken, I think it was Matthew Fahatin.
02:54He had a video of a raid that happened the night before, or during the evening.
03:02And so he was annotating it, so we could only see the video of this guy
03:06who was being followed by the police.
03:08He entered a room, a door, and the camera didn't follow him.
03:13The camera stayed outside.
03:15And then, whoever the reporter was annotating this,
03:18there was a gunshot.
03:19This is live?
03:20Yes.
03:21Is this live?
03:22Live annotation.
03:23So I was really freaked out because of that scene.
03:26And I was like,
03:27Oh, what's that?
03:28How did he do that?
03:30I was panicking.
03:31And Tito Mon was behind the camera, and he was going,
03:34Relax.
03:35He was going like that because I was really rattled.
03:39So they didn't take me out of the job because of that.
03:42It was just because we reformatted the first two episodes.
03:46The reformat was just right.
03:50So when the first episode came out, were you still doing hard news or lifestyle?
03:55No more.
03:56No more.
03:57It was lifestyle.
03:58We got Martin Andanar.
04:00He was our newscaster before.
04:02He was the one who did the hard news for us.
04:04Tito Mon also joined us for just a couple of months.
04:08And then it was harder for him because the show became earlier.
04:11An hour earlier.
04:12So Tito Mon had a corporate job.
04:15So he couldn't really work until the next day.
04:19It was a whole day of business.
04:20And then Tisha, it was hard for her because it's purely Tagalog.
04:24Oh, okay.
04:25And then Arnold became the main guy.
04:29And then Mickey Furyals.
04:31Miriam Kiambao was also on the show.
04:33So you were the OG.
04:35The OG morning girl, morning show host, right?
04:38That's right.
04:41That's right.
04:42That's right.
04:43That's right.
