KORINA SANCHEZ DOESN'T BELIEVE IN "overexposure."
Despite the workload, she's not one to shy away from a new challenge – or a new show. So, when she was offered to be the newest face of TV5's "Face to Face: Harapan," replacing Karla Estrada who resigned, she knew it would be a unique opportunity. It was fellow TV5 host Willie Revillame who made the recommendation, according to Jane Basas, president and CEO of MediaQuest, which owns TV5 and Cignal.
Dubbed as the Kapatid network's "legacy show," "Face to Face" has been an enduring hit with its "barangay hall" format in dealing with and mediating real-life complaints and conflicts in front of an audience.
Nevertheless, Korina admitted others raised concerns. "Why were people warning me about it? People kept warning me every time really. Ewan ko, tingin nila sakin siguro sosyal ang brand ko or what. 'Korina, alam ba nag-uupakan sila dyan, naghahagisan sila ng kung ano?' Sabi ko, 'How bad could it be?'," Korina told The STAR in an exclusive chat.
Retracing her career, she has always been comfortable navigating between hard news and showbiz-oriented formats. "Many journalists take themselves quite seriously, right? They're purists. I'm not like that. That's why half of me is in showbiz and half of me is news... That's why I have 'Rated Korina.' That's why I produced a comedy series. That's why I'm doing a newscast. I don't believe in limiting yourself."
"I mean, as long as you, again, have a firm hold of your brand, right?... I want that to be maintained. I can talk to a mangkukulam, I can talk to BBM (President Bongbong Marcos). So why will I limit myself?" she added.
