He added that if Manicad really sees himself to be more productive in his new chosen field, then respects that decision.
Despite that the revelation brought surprise to him, Arnold Clavio said that it is somehow an advantage that he has a fellow broadcaster in politics.
According to him, the act charity could be extended to more people if there is a connection in public service.
“Iba rin yung may kasama kang dating media na nasa politics,” the news anchor of GMA said.
