Firstly, in choosing subjects and topics for our shows, there must be public interest in it, plus a story to tell. Second, bashing or criticizing or slandering other personalities or businesses is strictly disallowed. Third, subjects simply tell their lifestory. This is no investigative piece.
The stories of many, many personalities including politicians and public figures (including your own uncle Sen.Tito Sotto and your cousins VM Gian Sotto and MTRCB Chief Lala Sotto who we have featured as well), real estate developers or sportsmen and the like —— have been the content of Rated Korina for decades. The same have been the content of several other magazine shows and interviews of many hosts from all the networks.
In the case of the Sara and Curlee Discaya interview, their rags to riches story is their story. While the feature in itself was never intended to be investigative but simply a success story, should there have been anything untrue about what they claimed after airing last year, it was and is up to the accuser to point this out. And we will air it if verified.
