MANILA, Philippines—Broadcast journalist Korina Sanchez is currently on leave from her morning program on DZMM contrary to reports that she resigned from her post.
This was officially announced Tuesday by ABS-CBN spokesperson Bong Osorio citing Sanchez needs to concentrate on her post-graduate studies at the Ateneo de Manila University.
“This was planned as early as middle of 2013 when Korina informed ABS-CBN management about her intentions to focus on her studies. Korina will continue to be seen on television as anchor of “TV Patrol” and “Rated K,” Osorio said in a statement.
In November last year, Sanchez met disapprovals from social media when she criticized CNN anchor Anderson Cooper’s on-the-ground coverage, which was highly critical of the national government.
Since then, Sanchez appearance on her radio show became irregular which created speculations that she has been suspended by ABS-CBN or that she resigned from her post.
