Korina Sanchez is on vacation leave, not suspended – Report claims

News and talks were swirling over the weekend about ABS-CBN news anchor Korina Sanchez’s suspension for a week on her daily newscast TV Patrol. But in contrary, a source Philippine Entertainment Portal that she is currently on vacation for two weeks.

Sanchez was noticeably absent from the primetime news program since Thursday, Nov. 14. Her last appearance on the newscast was when she went live on TV Patrol last Thursday from Ormoc City. She was in Ormoc obviously responding to Cooper’s dare to visit Tacloban to assess the situation with her own eyes. Sanchez then participated in the relief operations where she donated slippers and relief goods. She was already absent the following day Nov. 15.

All of these started from Korina’s criticism over CNN journalist Anderson Cooper about his on-air report that there’s “no government presence” in Tacloban City, Leyte and other Yolanda-hit areas. She purportedly said to Cooper over the report saying, “he doesn’t know where he speaks of.”

Meanwhile, source confirmed that Sanchez went on vacation and no formal suspension from the management of ABS-CBN.
