AT A GLANCE
Ira also revealed that a fellow reporter was removed from the job due to petty reasons.
Former Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) courtside reporter Ira Pablo revealed she was fired after two years for her weight.
"Ang saklap. Hindi ako nainform na requirement pala ang 25-inch waistline para mag cover sa PBA, akala ko sportscasting skills ang kailangan," wrote Ira in her Facebook post on Oct. 15.
After two years, Ira mustered the courage to share this information.
"Sharing something I wish I had the courage to share 2 years ago —I became a PBA courtside reporter tapos tinanggalan ako ng trabaho kasi 'mataba' daw ako.
"After 6 years of sports reporting experience, I was finally invited and chosen to report for PBA back in 2022. Sobrang saya ko talaga. It was a childhood dream come true," Ira said.
Ira also revealed that a fellow reporter was removed from the job due to petty reasons.
"Meron akong nabalitaan na napaginitan lang ng ulo eh tinanggalan ng trabaho," she also said.
But Ira mentioned she's now happy with her new job because she earns double or triple the amount she used to earn as a courtside reporter.
