Being a journalist – especially those who are in the field – is one of the most dangerous professions an individual could dive into. There have been cases of journalists being killed, attacked, and silenced in an inhumane way, but people who are passionate about what they do still continue to serve as the public’s heroic messenger. 

However, being a hero doesn’t only reflect within the journalists’ job. Anyone could be a hero in their own form, just like how a woman who turned into a mom – from being a field reporter and broadcast journalist before the pandemic – stood as a model not only for her kids but also for people around her.

Nina Corpuz- Rodriguez is known by the public as a broadcast journalist, host, and field reporter from ABS-CBN Network. She worked as a field reporter for ABS-CBN News, Bandila, and ANC for more than 15 years, aside from being a host of Magandang Gabi Doc in DZMM Teleradyo for more than 10 years and Good Vibes for the last three years until the closure of the network.

She is a mother of three: Stella (8), Emily (6), and Luke (3), and is the Founder of the hand-woven clothing line Nina Inabel where she helps people enjoy and advocate indigenous fabrics and fashion at the same time. She also produces her own health program online called “Hashtag Healthy Naman” where she interviews the best Filipino doctors in the country. This is how she provides people with free online consultations through the program, especially at this moment of the pandemic.

In this episode, Nina talks about the beauty of being a mom and how priceless of a job that is. She shares her experience of having to make a very hard choice – choosing to let her job as a journalist go – in order to be a hands-on mother to her kids. It was a big sacrifice on her side, knowing how deep her passion for the profession is; nevertheless, just like what her words say, it has been the best decision she has ever made in life.

Aside from this, Nina also discusses how the world she deals with work in relation to her business Nina Inabel. Here, she answers people’s questions about her experience and how a business allows an entrepreneur to build connections with the public.

Listen and learn about Nina and what she does through this episode.

As people apply for jobs we’ve either seen in ads or have always been our dream role, we often see a limited side of the story wherein it’s focused on our part alone. 

People tend to think of where it went wrong and why it did not work out based on the angle they see fits; however, it could have been forgotten that the setting involves two actors.

Have you ever been in a job interview where you thought you lost it due to the immense amount of unnecessary background noise? Have you ever experienced being an employee and/or a newbie who keeps on making faults while at work? Do you have a personal story in relation to almost failing the interview you’ve successfully done before but makes you feel nervous again?

Today, join us as we uncover the agency owners’ and recruiters’ side of the story and discover their thoughts on the usual dilemmas they experience at work. 

Mommy Bless, Hot Momma, and Bully Mom are agency owners and recruiters who already became a part of FHMom’s sessions before; however, in this episode, they are presented in an anonymous state so they could also be straightforward with the truth that lies underneath the surface.

Here, they share narratives of what they have come to experience during the hiring and newbie periods that actually send the employee into a bad spotlight in the agency. Be it the unprofessionalism, immature and unready state of personalities, and ineffective communication factor, all are mentioned within the hour.

Have a taste of what it’s like to be an owner and a recruiter of an agency, and receive tips from our guest Moms who work in the same field. 

Motherhood has been considered one of the greatest blessings a woman can receive.

But as a first-time mom and parent, it can be a roller coaster of a ride and adjustment.

Not only the physical challenges contribute to how hard it is to be a mom nowadays, but the ongoing pandemic also complicates the process.

What can we do to be a better parent to our kid/s and avoid having them experience the complexities of the modern world?

Maricel “Mar” Tulfo – Tungol is the eldest daughter of Philippine idol Raffy Tulfo and is ACT-CIS’s Atty. Garreth’s beloved wife. She’s a mother to their son Grayson who is only a three-month-old baby at the present time and is also a businesswoman who manages her father’s Raffy Tulfo in Action merchandise aside from her personal business. 

Although her pregnancy came out unplanned due to her having Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), her son Grayson became her life’s greatest blessing she’s grown to cherish so much. Not only she became a hands-on mom, but Mommy Mar also reached the point of countless realizations as she faced her life’s new segment – motherhood.

In this episode, Mommy Mar shares her experience as a first-time mom who received the blessing at an unexpected time. She talks about how different her journey is, as she admitted to expect what other first-time moms went through in terms of being pregnant. Not only did she had diabetes causing her to be induced, but she also needed to undergo cesarean birth without any experience of labor. Nevertheless, the realization that pregnancy is different for every woman made her more enlightened to the sense of the reality of the world.
