Manila, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – ABS-CBN Network today fired controversial news anchor Korina Sanchez for on-air comments she made on the news show “TV Patrol” in which she said she hoped that the supertyphoon Ruby (international name Hagupit) hit Japan instead of the Philippines.
Her comments drew protests from Filipino netizens who were one in denouncing the wife of Interior and Local Government Secretary Mar Roxas as an embarrassment to the country. Japan formally filed a protest with the United Nations seeking to permanently silence Sanchez. It has gained 100% support from the international body.
Last year, in the aftermath of another supertyphoon (Yolanda) that resulted in thousands of lives lost and massive destruction of property, Sanchez criticized CNN’s Anderson Cooper for commenting that the Philippine government was slow to come to the aid of typhoon victims. Sanchez said Cooper, who was reporting from ground zero in hardest-hit Tacloban, “didn’t know what he was talking about.”
In a skype call with The Adobo Chronicles this morning, Sanchez shrugged off her firing and said, “Well and good! This will give me time to focus on campaigning for my husband in his 2016 bid to become elected as the next president. I’ll have the last laugh when I become the First Lady.”
No remorse there…

Not really. Satire is protected by the First Amendment. No case against satire has ever succeeded here in the U.S. And if she is a true ‘journalist’ and as a public persona like her husband, she knows this.
