naamaze talaga ako ang kalmado talaga ni vargas kahit super lapit na ng score

I mean, he has to be. His whole team is natataranta and everyone's counting on his leadership.

He's really good under pressure.

@Yvanna Adriano

Are you at the game?

Yvanna Adriano

yes boss

is everything ok??

Lillian Duenas

More than ok. Are you free for a call? Or is it too loud there?

Yvanna Adriano

ang ingay boss e

and mahina data pero nakaksend naman, di lang kaya pag pics/vids

Lillian Duenas

Ok, dito na lang.

I have a tip.

A credible one about Vargas.

Yvanna Adriano

oh

what kind of tip???

Lillian Duenas

Yvanna, it's gold.

A source is telling us he's been taking beta blockers for performance anxiety. Prescription. "Situational" use before games.

And that when he was a freshman, he seriously considered a transfer to La Salle.

where did you hear that

Lillian Duenas

Protection of anonymous sources, Yvanna. You know how this works.

Yvanna Adriano

i know how it works and im asking anyway

Lillian Duenas

Basta. Credible.

And I think with the trust he has in you, you're the best person to get the full story.

Tonight sana. While the ADMU/DLSU game result is still hot.

Mabilis ka naman magsulat.

Yvanna Adriano

you want me to expose him using the access he gave me????

Lillian Duenas

I want you to do your job. We're journalists, Yvanna. We provide the public with the truth.

hindi naman verified kung totoo e

and it's too farfetched. it's not necessary

Lillian Duenas

That's where you come in.

And I disagree—I think everyone deserves to know. Think about what this does! Your article established him as human, as complex, as more than the legacy. This confirms it. This is the follow-up that breaks records.

King Eagle, secretly managing performance anxiety with pills. King Eagle, who almost left his father's legacy behind to become an Archer.

This is a once in a career story, Yvanna.

Yvanna Adriano

that doesn't make it right, lillian

Lillian Duenas

Am I going to have to lecture you on applying for sainthood again?

Yvanna, your views are still climbing. This will triple them. The Loop skyrockets and your contributor spot? This is what seals it.

This is the article that gets you there. After this, it's not even a conversation anymore.

That's what you've been working toward. That's what you dreamed of, isn't it?

Wala ba siyang sinabi sayo? Bakit hindi mo matanong?

Yvanna Adriano

because it's personal, lillian. his mental health is personal. you can't just report on someone's medical history because a source handed it to you

Lillian Duenas

It's personal, yes. But it's also directly related to his performance. To the games people are watching, to the story the public thinks they know about King Eagle. There's nothing wrong with reporting the truth.

Yvanna Adriano

there is everything wrong with how we got this "truth". a source you won't name gave you information about someone's MEDICAL history. do you hear yourself?

Lillian Duenas

And La Salle?

That's career. A legacy Ateneo player who almost became an Archer? THAT'S a story.

it's still information that came from a source we can't verify, about something he never confirmed publicly.

Lillian Duenas

That's what WE verify. That's your job.

You have his trust, Yvanna. Use it.

Yvanna Adriano

he's never told me anything.

even if he did, i will not confirm or deny. that's not me being difficult. that's me having a code.

"sainthood," if you will.

Lillian Duenas

A code won't get you your contributor spot.

Yvanna Adriano

my line is here. i'm not crossing it for a click count.

Lillian Duenas

This is the biggest story of the year, Yvanna. Of UAAP Sports. It has shock value, and we'd be the first to report it.

And you of all people should want this.

Where's your hunger? Your ambition?

Yvanna Adriano

ok

ok oko okok

i'll come back in tomorrow and we verify the source together. and then i will go to jem myself and give him a chance to respond.

that's standard practice. you can't publish something this sensitive without giving the subject a chance to respond.

if we do this right, the story is bigger.

But the La Salle game is now. We run it now or we lose the moment entirely.

Yvanna Adriano

lillian, PLEASE.

i've admired your work for so long.

i've learned from you. your mentorship made me a better reporter.

but all you're seeing is the numbers. the views, the sponsors, the praise. you published my vargas article without telling me because of the timing, not because the piece was ready.

and now you want me to use personal accessibility earned through trust to dig up something that will hurt someone. that's not journalism.

you clearly have one goal in mind because you haven't once mentioned what this does to him. you're chasing a story and dressing it up as public interest journalism and i won't be part of it.

We are pushing this story out whether you're a part of it or not.

I wanted you to be a part of it, but. 🤷‍♀️

If it's the pills you're worried about, we'll keep it vague. We'll move around it, people will fill in the blanks.

That's the power of words, Yvanna.

Yvanna Adriano

im calling mari

Lillian Duenas

Go ahead.

Yvanna Adriano

you don't get to publish around the edges of someone's medical information and say it's okay because you "moved" around it

Lillian Duenas

We're not disclosing a diagnosis. We're asking why the King Eagle needs something before his games.

That's a fair question, Yvanna.

Yvanna Adriano

ITS NOT

AND HIS FATHER IS A LAWYER

Lillian Duenas

He can't sue me for something that's true. And I'm not specifying anything, so there's nothing to prove false.

Yvanna Adriano

that's libel. this isn't that.

health information doesn't need to be false to be a violation, it just needs to be private and none of the public's business, which this is. you're not as covered as you think you are.

Lillian Duenas

Noted. We'll take it up with legal if it comes to it.

This industry will eat you alive. I overestimated you. You're too soft.

Yvanna Adriano

maybe

but it won't be on my conscience

i quit. i'm calling mari right now
