THANK YOU AND GOODBYE



Thank you for the 16 years that you showed us that a TV News Magazine could survive, followed and respected, not because of the personalities standing in front of the camera, but because of the story that you shared to us. And if indeed persons standing in front of the camera have become personalities, its is only because of the respect and admiration to your infallible journalistic standards.

Than you for your creativity. Thank you for showing us that an investigative reporting is never boring if we people behind the camera are as creative as you are, creative yet mindful of the standards you set.

Thank you for giving us faith and for showing us that in coming out with your stories every week, it wasn't fame that you are after, but the desire to show us the truth. And if you have became famous out of it, thank you for never letting us down,

Thank you for showing us what a journalist should be. That it wasn't all glamour to be working for TV. Thank you for making us appreciate the hardworks that you did just to come up with a story. Thank you for showing us that people who works hard will earn their share of glory as oppose to those who rose from the ranks out of favoritism and "stepping on other people's toes."

Thank you for making us cry because you have showed us the state of poverty and the sufferings of our fellowmen. Thank you for making us laugh at the innocent remarks of the people in the streets or because of how you made your anchors get through some "missions". Thank you for making us proud and took pride of the success of our fellow Filipinos and of your success too. Thank you for bringing us to places in and out of the country even if were just sitting at the comforts of our living room.

As you left the air last night, you have left a void. Our Tuesday evening will never be the same again.

We are sad because you have finally left, but we are also hopeful that the seeds that you planted will someday bear fruit. And we are happy knowing that these seeds are scattered and making their marks in this country and in other parts of the world.

Goodbye our dear Probe Team. We will surely miss you.
