These 7 Philippine News Fail Could Help Turn Your Boring Day Around

Being a news reporter can be an extremely stressful job especially during live coverage. No one is perfect and every one can commit mistake. Making a mistake during a normal conversation with friends is different from making mistake while talking on TV. This is the reason why these videos are gaining more views than normal news reports, because people love to watch them over and over again.

Even foreign journalists and news anchors make serious mistakes in any given time while in front of camera.

Some of these mistakes are committed not by reporters, but also by editors who encoded wrong information.

1. “4 Nawawalang Isda, Pinaghahanap Pa Rin” (4 missing fish, still being searched)

This news by ABS-CBN TV patrol happened years ago, but the video resurfaced after a series of typhoons. The news was actually about the four missing fishermen in Bolinao, Pangasinan, and not about the four missing fish.

2. GMA reporter Michael Fajatin became repetitive

3. Another encounter of Michael Fajatin with an alleged drug addict

A man who allegedly stole a tricycle was speaking English during the interview.

4. “Laglag Pustiso” Denture of woman was thrown away during commotion

In this video taken in Iloilo, two groups of women involved in altercation. The denture of another women fell down while cursing another woman.

5. Eric Quezon answers “Yes Korina” to Mike Enriquez.

Eric Quezon was being interviewed by the media regarding his father’s health condition (Dolphy). Mike asked him “Eric? Eric?”, Eric answered “Yes Korina”. Mike was caught off-guard with Eric’s response.

6. Jiggy Manicad mistakenly said “tae” instead of “tao”

In another scene, he mistakenly said ?nahulog ang ilog sa bata” instead of “nahulog ang bata sa ilog”.

7. Jiggy Manicad not sure how many “thousands” of extras needed in filming of The Bourne Legacy.

“Mike nasa labinlibong, labinlibong extra nga ang kukunin…” Skip to 1:20

Bonus. The photo below is s screenshot captured from a GMA News report regarding the condition of Marikina River.

The photo re-emerged after news reports on flooding and overflowing of dams in Bulacan and central Luzon is becoming a serious concern.

The caption should have read “Tubig sa Marikina River, Malayo pa sa Alert Level” (Level of water in Marikina River still far from alert level”.

Reporters are just humans and these are not serious mistakes. These could even help people release some stress.
