00:00How do you compete? Because inevitably, you compete with fake news. How do you do that?
00:12We have to also infiltrate the same platforms, Tito Boy. That's why, fight fire with fire, right?
00:18So, we are encouraged to use our social media digital platforms to put the news out there, right?
00:26Because the theory is, if there's fake news, then you put out the truth.
00:31And the more you put out the truth, then you'll be able to drown out the fake news.
00:35So, that's the challenge I think.
00:37While building also the core brand. Because I really want to hear that,
00:41Hey, the news is true. It's already out on 24.
00:43If you hear that, that's a testament to the credibility of the source.
00:51Yeah, Tito Boy, like Pia said, we go where the audience are.
00:56Because they're there on TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, wherever.
01:00That's where we go. Aside from, of course, our main platforms, television.
01:05But we are also required, for example, our spiels for news,
01:09there should also be a version for online.
01:12That's the general direction.
01:14We go to where they are. Fight fire with fire.
01:17Last question. Why are you proud to be doing what you do?
01:22That's a very difficult question.
01:25But I think the pride comes from the fact that we know that we have an important role to play.
01:31It's not just a career. I always think of this as a public service.
01:36What we do is a public service.
01:37So, we have an important role to play in society.
01:39We really have a role to play.
01:42Without us, the media, people won't know what they should know.
01:50I think the best example of that would be during COVID.
01:53When people are afraid to go out, who goes out? The media.
01:57Being able to influence the agenda, the national agenda for the day,
02:02being able to ask the questions directly to people that matter.
02:06Like in my case, I get to ask questions directly to the president.
02:10And that has an effect on the conversation of the people throughout the day.
02:17And that, of course, reflects in their decisions in their lives.
02:20So, it's wow.
02:22It's nice to feel that you have this kind of function in society.
02:27And maybe you're asking the questions that we want to ask.
02:30The only difference is that we don't have the opportunity to go there.
02:34But when you go and ask your questions, that's what I want to know.
02:38Correct.
02:39Thank you for doing what you do.
