Being a journalist – especially those who are in the field – is one of the most dangerous professions an individual could dive into. There have been cases of journalists being killed, attacked, and silenced in an inhumane way, but people who are passionate about what they do still continue to serve as the public’s heroic messenger. 

However, being a hero doesn’t only reflect within the journalists’ job. Anyone could be a hero in their own form, just like how a woman who turned into a mom – from being a field reporter and broadcast journalist before the pandemic – stood as a model not only for her kids but also for people around her.

Nina Corpuz- Rodriguez is known by the public as a broadcast journalist, host, and field reporter from ABS-CBN Network. She worked as a field reporter for ABS-CBN News, Bandila, and ANC for more than 15 years, aside from being a host of Magandang Gabi Doc in DZMM Teleradyo for more than 10 years and Good Vibes for the last three years until the closure of the network.

She is a mother of three: Stella (8), Emily (6), and Luke (3), and is the Founder of the hand-woven clothing line Nina Inabel where she helps people enjoy and advocate indigenous fabrics and fashion at the same time. She also produces her own health program online called “Hashtag Healthy Naman” where she interviews the best Filipino doctors in the country. This is how she provides people with free online consultations through the program, especially at this moment of the pandemic.

In this episode, Nina talks about the beauty of being a mom and how priceless of a job that is. She shares her experience of having to make a very hard choice – choosing to let her job as a journalist go – in order to be a hands-on mother to her kids. It was a big sacrifice on her side, knowing how deep her passion for the profession is; nevertheless, just like what her words say, it has been the best decision she has ever made in life.

Aside from this, Nina also discusses how the world she deals with work in relation to her business Nina Inabel. Here, she answers people’s questions about her experience and how a business allows an entrepreneur to build connections with the public.
