On May 3, Kapuso journalist Emil Sumangil reacted to him getting compared to Mike Enriquez and pitted against the Tulfo Brothers.
At the media conference for his upcoming Kapuso program, Resibo: Walang Lusot ang May Atraso, which LionhearTV covered, Sumangil first responded to being called the next Mike Enriquez.
“Hindi po yata– sa aking paniniwala, hindi po yata kayang pantayan, hindi rin po kayang higitan. Binigyan po ako ng platporma ng ating opisina, ng GMA Network na ipakita po ‘yung kung ano man ang aking kakayanan. Dito ko po pagsusumikapan sir na ibigay ang aking nalalaman kung paano po ako makakatulong para sa Diyos at bayan.”
He also cited his mentors in GMA Network that he looked up to, such as Enriquez and Michael Fajatin.
“Sa GMA po, ako po ay production assistant at segment producer ni Mr. Michael Fajatin. ‘Yun ho ‘yung–siya ho ‘yung isa sa mga nagturo sa akin kung paano mapalalim ang pagsusulat pagdating po dito sa crime stories.
“Pangalawa, si Boss Mike Enriquez po, siya po ang nag-bigay sa akin ng pagkakataon para magkaroon naman ng radio program, every Saturday dito po sa DZBB, sila pong dalawa marahil Ma’am, Sir, ang tinuturing kong, hindi naman idol, kung di, sila po ‘yung tinitingala ko po pagdating po sa propesyon na ‘yun.”
As for competing with the Tulfo Brothers, Sumangil expressed his goal of helping people with their grievances and complaints.
“With all due respect, hindi ko po kayang magsalita, sa ngalan ng ibang programa, dito lang po tayo sa Resibo. Gagawin po namin ang lahat para matugunan ‘yung hinaing ng ating mga kababayan na mayroon pong resolution.
“Gagawin ko lang ho ‘yung kung ano ang aking makakaya, kung ano po ‘yung inatas sa akin ng opisina, kung ano po ‘yung dapat kong gawin para sa programa.”
Sumangil helms the GMA Public Affairs multi-platform program, Resibo: Walang Lusot ang May Atraso.
