    A Nation Watching: The Alex Eala Effect

    Sports star Alex Eala just made history — beating defending champion Iga Świątek to reach the second week of Wimbledon, the deepest any Filipino has ever gone in a Grand Slam. Veteran sports journalist TJ Manotoc joins us on this episode to unpack what her rise means for the sport and the country. While Eala was eliminated by Jasmine Paolini in the round of 16, she’s now reached a career-high singles ranking of world number 28. And somewhere along the way, Eala stopped being just a promising athlete and became something bigger. A symbol of what's possible. Of excellence. Of a country's hunger to see itself win on a stage it's rarely been invited to.  The 21-year-old from Manila has not only raised her own profile but has also ignited hope and pride among Filipino tennis fans. On this assignment, we'll explore the factors behind Eala's meteoric rise, the impact of her achievements in the Philippines, and what her journey signifies for aspiring athletes. 🎾 Subscribe for more conversations on the stories shaping Philippine sports. #alexeala #tennis #philippines #sports #wimbledon

    Saving Siargao, Part 3: How corruption is destroying the environment

    Government officials, business owners and developers have contributed to the destruction of Siargao's environment and natural beauty.  On this episode, we speak to Siargao-based anti-corruption advocate and resort owner Christophe Bariou, about the impunity he has witnessed on the island, its impact on the environment, and how he's endeavoured to fight it. Siargao Island is a tear-drop shaped island in Southern Philippines widely known around the world for its surfing, beaches, and natural beauty – and is fast becoming one of the most popular islands in Asia.  It’s now being touted as the next Bali not just because of its ability to draw international crowds, but because its rapid tourism growth and development have brought significant environmental pressures and sustainability challenges.  The island is also facing major environmental issues caused by the climate crisis and corruption, and local communities are sounding the alarm. In this 3-part series “Saving Siargao,” we look at the environmental problems plaguing the paradise island, and speak to the people who are fighting to save and protect it.  This series is supported by @EarthJournalism.  #siargao #philippines #environment #onassignmentwithme #news #corruption #tourism

    Exposing more NYC luxury properties tied to Martin Romualdez

    EXCLUSIVE: Our latest investigation reveals two additional New York City properties have links to former House Speaker Martin Romualdez. My assignment today is to investigate how documents, sources and new evidence ties Romualdez and his family to more US properties. Property records show that in 2025, Romualdez's business associate and fraternity brother Andrew Casino was named trustee of three additional properties at the Ritz Tower in Manhattan, just a year after Romualdez acquired a unit on behalf of his father's estate. Casino is the same lawyer who facilitated that acquisition, and another Romualdez property in Massachusetts.  The new units were acquired in a similar manner that match previous luxury properties linked to Romualdez, and taken with additional evidence, raise questions over real ownership.  This latest investigation brings the total number of properties linked to Romualdez, that we've found on this podcast alone, to four. Romualdez is the first cousin of Philippine president Ferdinand Marcos Jr and one of his closest allies. He is one of the top government officials allegedly linked to the flood control corruption scandal, an accusation he denies. The Ombudsman is currently investigating him for money laundering, but no formal charges have been filed.

    I did a week-long leadership course in Harvard: Here's what I learned

    I'm back from a bit of a hiatus that included attending a week-long course at Harvard Kennedy School, on Global Leadership and Public Policy for the 21st Century. In this episode, I recap my top three takeaways from the program, reflect on the feeling of being in a classroom again, and talk about why I came out of it feeling surprisingly optimistic about the future. I hope you take something away from my candid reflection about my brief time in Cambridge. On this assignment, I take you with me on my personal journey to become a better journalist and newsroom leader.
