Ira Pablo

EKIS TALAGA SA MGA BODY SHAMER! Ibinahagi ng dating Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) courtside reporter na si Ira Pablo kung paano nawala ang kanyang ‘childhood dream’ na makapag-cover ng 49-year-old league dahil sa body discrimination. Isa ring dating University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) courtside reporter, ang anak ng PBA great na si Vic Pablo ay dati nang nag-cover sa PBA noong 2022, at ibinunyag niya kung paano naputol ang kanyang karera bago pa ito umangat. "After six years of sports reporting experience, I was finally invited and chosen to report for PBA back in 2022. Sobrang saya ko talaga. It was a childhood dream come true. But after covering just about 10 PBA games, all of a sudden, wala na akong assigned games. Nagtataka ako kung bakit nagsimula na yung next conference, pero wala pa rin akong schedule,” saad ni Pablo. "They held auditions for new PBA reporters, but I had no idea or even just a heads up from the management or network that I would be replaced. Akala ko magdadagdag lang talaga ng reporters. The new reporters [who all had minimal to no basketball sportscasting experience btw] started coming in and they all had one thing in common — they were all petite-sized women,” dagdag pa ni Pablo. #PilipinasToday #IraPablo #BodyShamer
