ANTHONY TABERNA
Radyo Patrol 28, Anthony Taberna, “Tunying” to his friends and colleagues, a proud son of Nueva Ecija, has already accomplished a lot in the broadcasting industry at the young age of 33.
He started young in the industry. Anthony was 17 years old and a Mass Communication sophomore at New Era University when he had the opportunity to work as a part-time news writer at DZEC, operated by Eagle Broadcasting Corporation. It was at this station that Anthony honed his journalistic skills and masterfully crafted his talent before a DZMM news manager took notice of him.
In 1997, Anthony transferred to DZMM after he was offered a slot with the Radyo Patrol reportorial group. As a reporter, he covered all the major beats – from Malacañang, to the Senate, House of Representatives, the Supreme Court to name a few.
In 2005, Anthony became the first recipient of the Best Radio Reporter award at the KBP Golden Dove. Indeed, this citation was well-deserved as he was the reporter who aired the content of the infamous Hello Garci recording – one of the most scandalous issues that hit our political scene in the past several years. This feat was followed by his reports from inside the San Carlos Seminary when Attorney Samuel Ong said to have had what he called the ‘mother of all tapes’, referring to the Hello Garci recording. He also proved his versatility when he gave a blow by blow account of Manny Pacquiao’s fight from ringside in Las Vegas.
Recognizing his talents, management tapped Anthony to anchor the developmental program, Ito ang Radyo Patrol, with his current on air partner, Gerry Baja. Together with Gerry, he then moved on to do Gising Pilipinas. It was while anchoring this program, Dos por Dos, a hard hitting program, was born. His incisive analysis of issues and hard-hitting commentary made Anthony a household name and also paved the way for a career on television via Magandang Umaga Pilipinas, which is now Umagang Kay Ganda.
