Kapuso reporter Tricia Zafra gave up his longtime career in GMA Network this January 7.
She made the announcement through a blog post, published by SubSelfie, titled “Why I Left My Job as TV News Reporter in a Popular Network.”
Zafra wrote: “It is not easy leaving a job you’ve had more than a decade. But it is more difficult to resist going after what will make you genuinely happy while you’re still young.”
She added that she is heading to another meaningful journey as a humanitarian worker. She will be working as a communication officer for the international and independent medical humanitarian organization Medecins Sans Frontieres or Doctors Without Borders.
She continued, “I am grateful I’ve found a place where my background in Broadcast Journalism and Psychology is appreciated.
“Finally, I can clearly see a path to fulfilling another dream as a Psychologist.”
