My Take
Korina Sanchez interests me as a study in earned authority. Born in British Hong Kong and educated at De La Salle University, she became one of the Philippines' most trusted broadcast journalists, working as an anchor, host, radio voice, and columnist all at once. Being named among Asia's most influential figures in 2021 confirms a reach few reporters achieve. I respect the grit required to hold public confidence in news for that long, and her willingness to take on so many roles signals a real appetite for the work. She strikes me as a model for women in Asian journalism.
