#14. That’s his jersey number and also his call sign on DZMM. Ibig sabihin, “lumang tao” na siya sa ABS-CBN—that’s how we call each other sa network kapag PIONEER o HALIGI.

There’s no question that Henry Omaga Diaz is a journalist par excellence! Publicly, saludo ang marami dahil marami na siyang napuntahang gyera (at muntik pa ngang hindi makauwi sa isa), pero iba ang pagmamahal namin sa kaniya. Love na love siya ng mga tao sa likod ng camera—sabi nga ng marami, walang ere.

Simpleng anchor na wagas makisama sa mga katrabaho. Basketball player pa ang gwaping kong co-anchor!

I got to meet the other side of Henry as a family man when I featured him on our YT channel before. They have a restaurant called “IHAW CITY.”

No matter his passion for his craft, this is a man who would give up being an anchor on TV Patrol—his career—to be with his FAMILY. Mahal niya ang trabaho niya, sobra, so I know masakit at mahirap.

One thing I admire about this man, he never takes himself too seriously. We goof around all the time, and yes, we play and try to distract each other habang seryosong nagbabasa ang isa! As in sumasayaw at making faces habang nagbabasa ako! That’s something you wouldn’t expect.

This explains this video that I have with him a couple of days before his last episode on TV Patrol!

Payback time! Bwahahaha—ako naman dapat ang mang-aasar!

But as promised, Orange and I will visit you in Canada, and you promised to take us around! Humanda ka—hindi pa tayo tapos!

We love you, Papa Henry!
