In a video uploaded on social media, Jay Dayupay, the news anchor of TV Patrol South Central Cotabato, can be heard airing his heartfelt statement about the end of his local show.

He stated that it has been a pleasure working for the people of Mindanao for the past 11 years through one of the regional programs of the Kapamilya network.

The reporter also believes that his service was not marred with controversies even though there have been actions to destroy his and his fellow journalists’ credibility.

“Gustuhin man po naming magpatuloy, o ipagpatuloy ng ABS-CBN regional ang paglilingkod, hindi na po kakayanin ng kompanya ang pangtustos sa aming araw-araw na operasyon. Ito’y matapos ngang bigong mabigyan ng prangkisa ang ABS-CBN. Kaya kami po ay magpapaalam na sa inyo,” Jay quipped.

“Hindi perpekto ang mga mamamahayag. Pero ang tunay na tagapagbalita, kayang itama ang anumang pagkakamali… Sa mga natutuwa sa aming pagsasara, ipinagdarasal po namin kayo… Nawalan man tayo ng hanapbuhay, taas-noo nating ipagmalaki sa ating mga kababayan ang mga naimbag natin sa lipunan…” he added.

As of the time of writing, the heartwarming video already has more than 6 thousand reactions and 2 thousand shares on social media.
