George Carino's Credibility Questioned Over Photos With VP And Former President

Work life must never cross our personal life, there should always be a distinct line between the two. We know how we Filipinos are, when we have "utang na loob" it will be very hard to say "No" to a person, even if you will be ruining your credibility for saying "yes."

A social media blogger, Mark Lopez took it to Facebook to call out a certain reporter that seemed to have to forget the line between his work and personal life. According to Lopez, this is about the reporter's 25th anniversary where VP Leni was their godparent, it can also be seen on another photo that former president Noynoy Aquino was there too.

The reporter is George Carino of ABS-CBN. This puts into question why Carino seems to be so angry with President Duterte and his administration based on his reports. One might question is it because he is siding with his godparent, Leni Robredo?

Here is the post of Mark Lopez:

MANO PO Two things very very wrong with the photo below of a recently concluded 25th Wedding Anniversary where prominent politicians acted as godparents.One, this is where patronage politics begin, and where propriety ends. And we all know that when patronage politics creeps in, what follows are influence peddling, graft and corruption, and ultimately, plunder.Two, what happened to ethics in the journalism profession? What about integrity? How do you now disprove bias, favoritism and unfairness when you lock in a personal relationship with public officials you are supposed to watch over?Media has always been proud and adamant of its lofty status as the watchdog and fourth estate.So what now Jorge Cariño? How do you now treat Ninang Leni?How awkward it must be that before you interview her on a breaking news about a scandal involving her, your approach would be "mano po Ninang"Peeps, what say you?

It seems that majority of the people agree with what Lopez said. Here are some comments on his post that has already garnered over a thousand shares on Facebook.

Krizette Laureta Chu There is such a thing as "journalism ethics." You are not allowed to do this. How can you report on your ninong and ninang? Don't be selective, it makes the rest of your argument invalid

Gie Tigley Lanza This just answered my questions why this Carino seems to hate the President so much. It's crystal clear in his manner of biased reporting that I stopped watching all Abias-CBNs shows altogether..

Michelle Clarke He has always been hostile to this government. As evident on one of his morning show episodes when a correspondent was reporting on rehab projects, he was mumbling "sino pa ang irerehab pinatay na lahat." Kaya pala ninong at ninang kasi. Honeslty tho what is this penchant for getting popular people on weddings and baptisms?

Cee Gee Cee This is equivalent to burying his (George's) credibility & integrity as a journalist, and the media outfit (ABiaS CBN) where he belongs.
Say goodbye now to ur career George!

 What can you say about this?
