Oh, the irony of Gretchen Ho, the volleyball player turned ABS-CBN reporter, lamenting a “missed opportunity” in Jo Koy’s Golden Globes hosting. 

Let’s take a moment to recall Ho’s stellar reporting skills during the South East Asian Games hosted by the Philippines. 

While the world anticipated tales of triumph and sporting glory, Ho deemed it fit to play the role of a high-maintenance hotel guest. Instead of celebrating the achievements of athletes, she dissected accommodations, transportation, and food, as if she had mistaken herself for the host of a travel show.

Now, Ms. Ho is suddenly an authority on seizing opportunities? The only opportunity she seized was to tarnish the image of the Asian Games host nation. Perhaps she missed the memo about journalism focusing on the positive. But who needs positivity when you can scrutinize every detail of an event and showcase a talent for missing the point entirely? 

Bravo, Ms. Ho, for your unmatched ability to turn every opportunity into a critique and every celebration into a complaint.
