My Take
What fascinates me about Noli de Castro is the rare arc from trusted newsman to elected power. Topping the 2001 Senate vote and then rising to Vice President of the Philippines shows just how much credibility a broadcaster's voice can carry into politics. I find that crossing genuinely instructive: the same warmth and clarity that made him a household name on the air became political capital. The harder question, and the one I keep turning over, is whether a journalist's instincts survive the move to the other side of the microphone. Either way, he is a figure worth studying for anyone interested in media and trust.
