"I know what kind of stories I want to do. I know the message that I want to craft. Having said that, it's a collaboration. It's never just about the point of view of one person. I don't have the monopoly of ideas. But I think it's a privilege to have that kind of influence on the story from conception to airing. And I don't take that lightly. The fact that I have the time, I have the team, and they're willing to let me craft the story means a lot to me."

"Do not “give power to your tiredness.”"

"To let them express what they feel. So, it’s also difficult (for us) because sometimes you carry it with you all the way home. You really get affected, especially when the story involves millennials who grew up abandoned by their mother and father. The latest was someone who didn’t receive any love from a mother.” These are the things that are hard to let go of because you know that in your own small way, you could really help them, and it’s not always financial. Just by listening to them, it’s already a form of aid that we are doing in the program."

"Get the facts right."

"With Covid as a health emergency, the same thing applies. There's a lot of information coming out. The reporting must be scientific, clinical, and factual. After that, you move on to possible causes and how you can prevent its spread or infection. During this pandemic, I feel that this has been widely practiced in global reportage."

"Once integrity is surrendered, trust in journalism collapses."

"Exposure and experience are great teachers."
