00:00Have you ever tried to bribe someone?
00:09Yes.
00:12I did have an experience like that.
00:15When I was a young reporter, I was a congressman.
00:18I had a bag, and then he suddenly snatched a big stash of cash from my bag.
00:25When I was trying to refuse, he got angry and offended me.
00:30How did it end?
00:32I went straight to the admin, and then I declared that I was given this money by a certain politician.
00:44He snatched the money.
00:47Wow.
00:49It wasn't that big of a stash.
00:52Also, I was a young reporter.
00:54I guess it's easier to hand off to young reporters.
00:58I was also a young reporter in the province of Tituboy.
01:01It was after a press con.
01:03They were trying to reach us.
01:05I was just quick to say no.
01:07They didn't force it.
01:09I guess it's because there were a lot of people, so they didn't force the issue.
01:13Did you make a lot of money?
01:18It's fun to laugh.
01:21Do broadcasters, reporters, and news reporters pay a lot of money?
01:28There's a recent article that came out citing GMA as one of the best, if not the best employer in media.
01:37I tend to agree.
01:39Let's just put it that way.
01:40In the context of salary.
01:42Yes.
01:43That's what we're saying.
01:46Why the smile?
01:48It's a very tricky question.
01:50Whenever we give a career talk in Tituboy, that's always a question.
01:55Usually, parents don't want their children to be in the media.
01:59They say it's hard to make money.
02:03But I just really wanted to do it.
02:05I guess that's where you can see the passion.
02:07I remember when I interviewed Sir Mike Enriquez, he always said,
02:10don't think about how much you'll make if you get a job here.
02:15That's what he always says to his applicants.
02:17Why are you asking me how much I'll make?
02:19That's a telling sign for me of how much you want to do this job.
02:24If you're thinking about money, let's not talk about it.
02:27Maybe that mentality is what we bring with us into the industry.
02:32If we carry that mentality with us, we'll stay in the industry.
02:35The reward will come later on.
02:3725 years in the industry.
02:39I started low, like everybody else.
02:43After a while, at a certain level, it gets comfortable.
