Nagsama-sama ang mga dati at kasalukuyang news anchors, journalists, at reporters ng ABS-CBN News and Current Affairs sa pagdiriwang ng ika-60 kaarawan ng kanilang head na si Ging Reyes.
Makikita ito sa iba’t ibang social media posts ng mga dumalong bigatin at tinitingalang personalidad sa larangan ng broadcasting na nagsidalo sa birthday party ni Reyes, na nasa retirement period na ng kaniyang katungkulan sa Kapamilya Network.
Isa sa mga nag-post tungkol dito ay ang dating ABS-CBN news anchor na si Korina Sanchez-Roxas.
“Minsan lang ito mangyareeee! Sama-sama all in this sortat grand reunion of the ABSCBN Ch 2 News and Current Affairs peeps (grduates and those still in this school of hard knocks). And it’s all for the 60th birthday (yes she actually announces her age) of News Boss Ging Reyes yahoooo,” aniya.
Ilan sa mga ibinida niyang nagsidalo sa naturang birthday party ay sina Kabayan Noli de Castro, Ted Failon, Ces Drilon, Karen Davila, Alvin Elchico, Doris Bigornia, Atom Araullo, Kata Inocencio, Tina Monzon Palma, Becky Cabral, Charie Villa, Karmina Constantino, Zen Hernandez, Jeff Canoy, Mon Ilagan, at marami pang iba na inilarawan ni Koring bilang “on and off-camera heroes of those days of war and peace on the airwaves.”
“It took 30 years and more to gather and hone these professionals. Hoping it happens again and again. It should,” ani Korina.
Tumugon naman dito ang kasalukuyang news anchor ng ABS-CBN na si Karen Davila, na kamakailan lamang ay kinapanayam ni Koring sa kaniyang talk show na “Korina Interviews” sa NET25.
“Korina!!!!!! What a night! Nostalgic!” ani Karen.
Nagbigay rin ng pa-tribute si Karen para kay Ging.
“When the last man standing is a WOMAN… an emotional 60th birthday to an institution in ABS-CBN News & the television industry… M’ @gingreyes aka RER 🎉.”
“From the reopening of ABS-CBN in 1986 to the painful non-renewal of our franchise in 2020, Ma’am Ging has stayed through it all. She has mentored hundreds of news people including myself & has stood by her people through the darkest of times.”
“RER was my first EP when I moved to ABSCBN in 2000 and boy, was I scared of her 😜 and yet through the years, underneath all the tough talk she is famous for, lies a heart of compassion & kindness for her team. Thank you Ma’am Ging for everything.”
“So much nostalgia seeing new & old faces! Once a kapamilya, always a kapamilya 🇵🇭,” ani Karen.
