@ABSCBNNews @ValorantEsports @vctpacific @VALORANT @pprxteam @patmenVLR @GlobalEsportsIn My role in the new media agency I'm heading for will unlikely allow me to cover the same way I did in ABS-CBN, so I think this will be my goodbye for now in esports recap coverage.

Thank you @VALORANT for giving me another avenue to grow as a journalist. I'll always cherish it!

2 days ago, I've resigned from @abscbnnews. My feed has mostly been covering @valorantesports and @vctpacific for the latter part of my career (in X at least, haha) and it has been one of my "regular beats" that I enjoyed since I played @VALORANT during the pandemic.

@ABSCBNNews @ValorantEsports @vctpacific @VALORANT While covering remotely, I witnessed the Team SMG/Xipto run in GC, the first @pprxteam Masters win and the first Pinoy champ in @patmenVLR . The rise of @GlobalEsportsIn since taking in Pinoys was memorable too, since I did a long form feature on them
