02:38 When GMA needs male anchors in an election coverage
02:42 he is surprised by something.
02:45 This face is not for TV.
02:49 I accept it. I am my own mother.
02:51 I cannot be trusted on TV.
02:53 Mike was chosen to be the anchor of GMA's latest newscast, "Saksi."
03:00 Saksi!
03:01 They called me for a meeting.
03:03 They said they wanted a fast-paced newscast.
03:06 They wanted it to be fast.
03:10 They only had headlines.
03:12 I was so nervous.
03:13 I was scared and the air conditioner was cold.
03:16 The price of oil will rise tomorrow.
03:19 From here, he became a newscaster every night.
03:23 He caught the attention of millions of Filipinos
03:27 for his unique style of speaking.
03:30 In 2000, Mike officially became an investigator of the country.
03:36 He acted and gave solutions to the problems of our countrymen.
03:43 In 2004, he became a part of the Philippines every night.
03:56 Here is the most respected, the most trusted...
04:00 ...when he became one of the anchors of "24 Hours."
04:05 24 hours!
04:06 Because the news is not sleeping.
04:08 The 24-hour investigator of the country
04:11 is truly not lagging behind.
04:14 ...of the 2010 election, Senator Noynoy Aquino.
04:17 Good evening, Senator.
04:20 Good evening, too, Madam Mike.
04:22 From war to peace.
04:24 No matter where the world comes from, we are one.
04:27 Our mission is one.
04:29 We are all one.
04:31 Our job is to let the world know the truth of what is happening here in Iraq.
04:37 Before, it was like this.
04:39 Now, it's like this.
04:41 On the ground.
04:42 Even the strongest typhoon.
04:45 We've been flying here for more than 20 minutes.
04:47 We're getting closer to the battlefield.
04:49 All of our roads, all of our houses are destroyed.
04:53 Look at the people.
04:54 The cargo of the ship is all in pieces.
04:57 They're all white.
04:59 Not a single roof, not a single house, not a single structure or house.
05:04 You won't find anything without a roof.
05:06 Tragedies that are still unresolved.
05:09 The former center of commerce here in Marawi
05:13 hasn't recovered from the earthquake.
05:16 This is the system here, Mel.
05:18 Historical events.
05:20 Why are you here in the Vatican?
05:22 Why do you want to see John Paul II?
05:25 Mel said that because he's a good person.
05:29 In these moments,
05:31 there's a negotiation that's being made
05:34 for the resignation of President Estrada.
05:36 Until the year of the translation of the Black Nazarene.
05:40 The crowd is getting louder.
05:42 Just one shout.
05:44 Viva!
05:47 He's there to bring the hottest and the newest rain.
05:53 I felt the strength of the faith of the people.
05:58 Our next MSUP icon is the legendary main man of the newsroom,
06:03 Mike Enriquez.
06:05 His legacy is known not only here in the Philippines,
06:12 but also in the international stage.
06:14 This is an affirmation that we must be into something right and something good.
06:19 I am Mike Enriquez, your heart is for the Filipinos.
06:22 This is the GMA, no one is being cheated, no one is being protected.
06:26 But he's good at reporting.
06:29 He's also good at showing his humanity.
06:33 Where did the new strain come from?
06:36 Excuse me.
06:38 It's not the coronavirus.
06:40 It's the good manners and right conduct.
06:43 People think it's an art.
06:45 Or a gimmick.
06:46 No.
06:47 We were taught when we were kids that when you're being hit,
06:52 you should say excuse me.
06:54 In the election of 2019, the truth will prevail.
06:57 In this election of 2019, some of what Mike said was discussed and went viral.
07:05 I want to blame them.
07:07 What can we expect from you now?
07:09 You're going to be blamed?
07:10 Yes.
07:11 You're going to blame us?
07:13 Yes, so that we can know.
07:15 So that we can know.
07:17 So that while they're discussing their term,
07:19 we can check what they're doing versus what they promised.
07:23 Now, we love Mike.
07:29 You won't hear his voice again after his fight against his feelings.
07:35 But in our hearts, his voice is still clear.
07:41 We will not forget you.
07:43 I am your heart, Mike Henriques.
07:46 We are ready to deliver service and truth and brave news.
07:54 Goodbye.
07:56 Until we meet again.
