Since I work for ABS-CBN and my office is at the newsroom, I always get to meet personalities. Especially since its the election season and I'm in the morning shift. For one, Karen Davila's Headlines airs at 8 a.m. and she has different guests every now and then.
Here's a hodgepodge of names I had photos of since I started working for ABS. (Take note that I'm not the type who openly asks for someone's photo.)

With Jim Paredes in The Promenade, Greenhills |
The photo with Jim Paredes was taken in by Ate Trina after we attended a benefit concert for clean elections in 2009. I look up to Jim more than the other members of APO Hiking Society. Buboy Garovillo was in the area too but I was too 'hiya' to get a picture with him.

With now Senator BongBong Marcos |
This one was taken by my officemate Rosy in 2010 at the newsroom. Rosy is Ilocana and her family is a supporter of the Marcoses, especially the unico hijo of the Marcos clan. We fondly call now Senator Bong Bong Marcos as BBM. Funny how I'm wearing a yellow shirt. No wonder he was not very comfortable having the photo taken. Haha.

With Senator Chiz Escudero |
With the elections inching in, I had another photo taken with Senator Chiz Escudero. This was taken after he withdrew his candidacy for Vice-President and weeks after he left NPC. The first time I saw him was four years ago while I was still in St Scho. At that time, girls were openly 'kilig' about him. I never understood why but seeing him during this shoot, Sen. Escudero exudes a very youthful 'crush ng kolehiyala' vibe.

With Senator Loren Legarda |
For obvious reasons, I was not comfortable having a photo taken with Senator Loren Legarda, who was then running for Vice-President under the NPC but with Nacionalista's Manny Villar. I must admit, though, that Sen. Loren seemed to be excited to return to the newsroom after such a long time.

With Senator Mar Roxas |
Now this is a photo I'll treasure forever! For one, I have a huge cerebral crush on Senator Mar Roxas, who was then running for Vice-President with now President Noynoy Aquino. I started to like him when I covered an eduction committee hearing at the Senate. That's when I realize he's not just all talk.
Back then, I really really really wanted to get a photo with Defense secretary Gibo Teodoro, who was my bet for President. Haha. I also wanted a picture with former President Joseph Estrada because I admire his contributions to the film industry.
