Selfie videos that did not only inform, but also brought kilig to social media users.
During the onslaught of tropical cyclones Crising and Dante, together with the enhanced southwest monsoon (Hanging Habagat), the public also stormed various platforms to seek the latest information about the weather.
Those who opted to tune in via social networking sites, such as Tiktok and Facebook, perhaps, were able to get updates from GMA Integrated News reporter Nico Waje.
The 30-year-old news personality went out to deliver the vital updates amid the bad weather. Case in point: this field report that he did from United Nations Avenue in Manila in this shortform video.
But many of those who watched were not only informed, but caught kilig upon seeing him.
As a result, he immediately became a hot topic online, with his parent organization’s post about him racking tens of thousands of views.
In line with his internet fame, GMA also set up a special Ask Me Anything session on its Reddit account, where Waje was able to interact with the public.
Aside from filing news reports for the Kapuso news organization and its programs, Nico is also seen and heard as one of the commentators for the network’s coverage of the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA).
