Kim, Ethel, and Xander speak up on online bashing
Veteran broadcast journalists Anthony Taberna and Jorge Cariño are your new weekend buddies as they head to the streets to listen to the stories and concerns of regular people on the new ABS-CBN Current Affairs program “Pareng Partners,” every Saturday afternoon at 5:15 pm starting July 28.
The “Umagang Kay Ganda” anchors, who both began as Radyo Patrol Reporters in DZMM 630, are switching from reporting big news events to searching and putting spotlight on the sentiments of ordinary Filipinos.
On the premier episode on Saturday (July 28), Anthony and Jorge head to Mandaluyong and Nueva Ecija to hang out with families and talk about their take on family and family life. In Mandaluyong, folks in Barangay Addition Hills give their opinion on having few or many children, while residents of Nueva Ecija compare living in the province to living in the city.
As a bonus, the “Pareng Partners” also catch up with Kim Chiu, Ethel Booba, and Xander Ford to talk about online bashing, how it has affected them, and how they eventually got through it.
For Jorge, who started as “Radyo Patrol 27” in the radio before venturing into TV news reporting on ANC and ABS-CBN, “Pareng Partners” is a way for him to return to his roots in the field, as he gives people a space to share their experiences, air their concerns, express their opinions, and have their voices heard.
“As a journalist, I’ve realized that the most brilliant minds, caring hearts, and brave souls are often found in the regular people you meet every day,” he said. “With this show, we let the people tell the stories themselves and hope they inspire others as well,” shared Jorge, who’s covered the police, Senate, and Malacanang beats, as well as major news events like the Oakwood mutiny.
Anthony, who followed Jorge in the DZMM as Radyo Patrol 28 before making a name for his hard-hitting reports and commentary both on radio and TV, says the program’s relaxed and informal atmosphere will encourage the people to have the confidence to speak their mind freely.
“It’s just like we are having a conversation over a meal, with everyone getting a chance to talk about his thoughts and life,” he said.
Spend your weekends with Pareng Tunying and Pareng Jorge on “Pareng Partners” every Saturday, 5:15 pm before “TV Patrol Weekend” on ABS-CBN and ABS-CBN HD.

Kim, Ethel, at Xander, magsasalita ukol sa online bashing
ANTHONY AT JORGE, IBIBIDA ANG KARANIWANG PILIPINO SA “PARENG PARTNERS”
Makisali sa kwentuhan nina Anthony Taberna at Jorge Cariño at pakinggan ang mga kwento, opinyon, at pinagkakaabalahan ng mga karaniwang Pilipino sa bagong ABS-CBN current affairs program na “Pareng Partners,” na mapapanood na tuwing Sabado ng 5:15 pm simula Hulyo 28.
Mula sa paghahatid sa malalaking balita bilang “Umagang Kay Ganda” anchors at dating Radyo Patrol reporters sa DZMM 630, ibibida naman ngayon nina Anthony at Jorge ang mga saloobin at pananaw ng ordinaryong tao.
Ngayong Sabado (July 28), ba-biyahe si Pareng Anthony at Pareng Jorge sa Mandaluyong at Nueva Ecija para makipagkwentuhan sa mga pamilya doon. Sa Mandaluyong, pag-uusapan nila kasama ng mga taga-Barangay Addition Hills ang pagkakaroon ng malaki o maliit na pamilya. Sa Nueva Ecija naman, tatalakayain nila ang pagkakaiba ng buhay probinsya sa buhay sa lungsod.
Makakasama rin ng “Pareng Partners” sina Kim Chiu, Ethel Booba, at Xander Ford, na magbubuhos ng damdamin at mga natutunan sa kanilang naranasang pamba-bash online, kung saan nakatanggap sila ng sandamakmak na negatibong komento.
Ayon kay Jorge, na nagsimula bilang “Radyo Patrol 27” sa radyo bago sumabak sa TV bilang reporter sa ANC at ABS-CBN, masaya siyang makalabas muli ng studio para maibida naman ang mga karaniwang tao at mapakinggan ng manonood ang kanilang mga pananaw at karanasan.
“Sa karanasan ko bilang reporter, nakikita ko na karamihan sa mga pinakamatalino, mapagmahal, at magiting na tao ang mga nakikilala mo araw araw,” sabi ni Jorge. “Doon ko nakita na maraming bayani na madalas hindi natin nakikilala.”
Sabi naman ni Anthony, na sinundan si Jorge sa DZMM bilang “Radyo Patrol 28” at nakilala sa kanyang matapang na komentaryo sa radyo at TV, mahihikayat na magkwento ang mga tao dahil sa simple at kaswal na daloy ng diskusyon.
“Dito parang naghuhuntangan lang tayo, parang kumakain lang tayo tapos nagbibidahan, nagkukuwento ng buhay-buhay,” aniya.
Sumali sa kwentuhan nina Pareng Tunying at Pareng Jorge sa “Pareng Partners” tuwing Sabado, 5:15 pm bago mag “TV Patrol Weekend” sa ABS-CBN at ABS-CBN HD.
