As a veteran broadcast journalist, Jessica Soho has witnessed many important moments in history.
That includes the tail end of President Ferdinand Marcos' regime in the Philippines, back when she was still early in her career as a news reporter for GMA Network.
In the pilot episode of "The Howie Severino Podcast," Jessica shared a snippet of her coverage of the late dictator during the campaign for the 1986 Snap Elections against Corazon Aquino.
"He was in the middle of a speech in Caloocan and then he stopped. He just suddenly stopped and he disappeared from the stage. When he came back out, he was being carried by people," she said in a mix of English and Filipino.
