Philippine TV Station Didn't Fire News Reader

Like Super Typhoon Ruby, ABS-CBN news reader Korina Sanchez came on too strong to many televiewers when she expressed hope that Hagupit (Ruby) would spare the Philippines and instead hit Japan.

Many netizens didn't like her comment and didn't hide their disappointment. Some were not surprised because it was the second time involving the coverage of a super typhoon that Sanchez, the wife of Philippine Interior Secretary, created controversy because of her criticism of CNN's Anderson Cooper's coverage of Super Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) in November 2013.
 The recent incident led to a hoax report that Japan declared Sanchez a persona non grata for her comments. However, another Web site, Waffles at Noon, debunked the report, although a lot of Filipinos thought the veteran news reader deserved being banned in The Land of the Rising Sun as well as from national television.
Thus, it was not surprising that another satire news site rode on that angle and said that ABS-CBN fired Sanchez for her comment. Adobo Chronicles wrote that Sanchez's remarks embarrassed the country, causing Japan to file a protest to permanently keep her off from TV, which the international body allegedly backed 100 percent.

It would be recalled that in 2013, there were speculations that ABS-CBN suspended Sanchez for one week after she spoke against Cooper's coverage, although the "official version" is that she went on leave.

One indicator that Adobo Republic's article was a satire is that it quoted the "fired" news reader as saying in reaction to her receiving the boot, "Well and good! This will give me time to focus on campaigning for my husband in his 2016 bid to become elected as the next president. I'll have the last laugh when I become the First Lady."

For one, Roxas insists that his eyes are not on 2016 (yet), but on helping Ruby victims. But the best proof is that Sanchez is still on TV Patrol, although she would probably be best remembered for her Japan remarks.
