Highlighting accountability with hashtags like #cancelcorruptionnow, she captured the voices of youth, church leaders, and civil society groups.

Earlier, Korina Sanchez responded to a netizen who commented about her past interviews with so-called “nepo families.” The follower praised her for featuring influential clans, saying her work has provided material that can now be used to scrutinize them. The veteran journalist addressed the remark by stressing that this was not her intention when she conducted the interviews. Still, her features are now being reinterpreted in today’s discussions on privilege and power.
