MANILA \u2013 Amid her interview with senatorial aspirant Alma Moreno becoming viral and earning mixed reactions from netizens, Headstart anchor Karen Davila explained how she tried to help the candidate go through her interview questions.<\/p>\n

\u201cI research a lot and try [to] come as prepared as I can every single day. If you watched the interview in full, you will see that I shifted to Tagalog, during many times \u2013 I tried to help her,\u201d Davila said.<\/p>\n

Many praised the news anchor for being upfront in asking questions to Moreno regarding the current issues the Philippines has been facing. Some, however, accused her of making it hard for her interviewee to answer the questions and make a stand on the issues.<\/p>\n

\u201cDapat marunong din si [Davila] na i-level ang sarili sa ini-interview niya\u2026 Nakakaawa ang maging mahina, wala na ngang maisagot pinipiga pa rin… Alma is a guest of your show and she is not applying for any particular job na kailangang gisahin,\u201d Instagram user @agp142000 commented in one of Davila\u2019s posts.<\/p>\n

(Davila should know how to put herself in the level of the person she\u2019s interviewing\u2026 It\u2019s pitiable to be weak, she (Moreno) couldn\u2019t answer yet she was pressed with the questions\u2026 Alma is a guest of your show and she is not applying for any particular job that she has to be perused.)<\/p>\n

\u201c[Davila] should have changed her manner of questioning towards Alma\u2026 Kasi naman obvious na hindi na niya masagot \u2018yung questions tapos nag-continue pa din siya with another questions (sic); sana nag-adjust si Karen,\u201d another Instagram user @nikandi16 also commented.<\/p>\n

(Davila should have changed her manner of questioning towards Alma\u2026 It\u2019s obvious that she (Moreno) couldn\u2019t answer the questions yet she (Davila) continued with the other questions; I hoped Karen adjusted.)<\/p>\n

Davila, for her part, immediately explained her side as the interviewer, asserting that her previous interviews were tougher by comparison. She also believed that anyone seeking public office should have at least basic knowledge on the country\u2019s issues.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen someone is running for higher office \u2013 they must have an understanding of issues. This is a standard we owe to the Filipino people\u2026 You will choose in the end. My job is to ask the hard questions,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
