5 times Nico Waje made typhoon coverage a little less gloomy
Posting updates from town situations around the Philippines, Nico's comment section is filled with netizens calling him 'love,' 'babe,' 'the king of updates,' and the 'pambansang boyfriend.' They've also been reminding him to take extra care.
Covering typhoons and disasters is never an easy thing — both for the news team delivering the information and for the audiences watching them. So thank heavens for someone like Nico Waje who is able to make delivering the news seem a little less difficult, and receiving the news a little less of a gloomy experience.
Here are five of Nico's best moments:
1. From Brgy. Sapang Bayan, Calumpit, Bulacan
Nico updated netizens about the situation in the Brgy. Sapang Bayan in Calumpit, Bulacan as he waded through a flooded area, jacket zipped up and umbrella in tow. While his TikTok video showed homes and townspeople in knee-high floods, netizens reminded him to take care.
'Gusto ko talaga yung nag uupdate sakin eh, sige love ingat ka,' a netizen said.
2. From Taft Avenue corner United Nations, Manila
Nico's situationer between Taft Avenue and United Nations in Manila is quite the popular video as he explained how clogged drainage systems resulted in floods. As he gave updates on how the local government unit of Manila was in the area to clean out the gutters, one netizen hilariously said, 'Nico, ako naman nasa Antipolo. Baka gusto mo din mag-report from here.'
3. From Brgy. Saplad David, Macabebe, Pampanga
On GMA News' TikTok page Monday, Nico reported from a bangka in the already-flooded Brgy. Saplad David, Macabebe, Pampanga.
Netizens couldn't help but swoon over the journalist, who was drenched wet, thanking him for updates and once again telling him to take care. A netizen even called Nico the Pambansang BF.
4. Live reports
Nico also posts his live reports on '24 Oras" like his situation report from Macabebe, Pampanga, for which fans thanked their 'babe.'
'Ingat guys! Masama ang panahon hanggang Thursday,' Nico said in his TikTok caption.
5. Offcam outfit checks

Nico gave a glimpse of what happens behind the scenes during a typhoon coverage with fit check video. A barefooted Nico was seen dressing up in waterproof pants and GMA Integrated News' waterproof jacket. To top it all off, he also wore a waterproof jumper and rainboots.
With another filled comments section, Nico told supporters, 'Guys! I'm trying to read all your comments. Please know that I appreciate you all! Mag-ingat please! Lab u!'
In its early Wednesday bulletin, PAGASA said Tropical Depression Dante is maintaining its strength as it moves northwestward over the Philippine Sea. Rains brought by Habagat is also forecast to continue bringing moderate to sometimes intense rains over Metro Manila and several provinces.
As always, a reminder to keep safe, mga Kapuso. — LA, GMA Integrated News

Bernadette Reyes to netizens bashing her amid typhoon coverage: 'Hangad ko pa rin ang kaligtasan niyo'
Bernadette Reyes has something to say about the negative comments she has been receiving online. The GMA Integrated News broadcaster shared screenshots of netizens commenting about her appearance and voice during her typhoon coverage. On Facebook, Bernadette wrote, 'It takes a brave spirit to weather the storm but it takes an even bigger heart to wish others well kahit minumura at nilalait na ang buong pagkatao.' 'Maaring hindi ako maganda sa panlabas sa inyong paningin pero hindi nyo ito kayang sabihin if only you know the kind of person that I am,' she added. Bernadette told netizens who spread memes about her, editing photos and captions 'to make me look bad' and those who 'ginawa akong katatawanan,' that she still wishes they are safe well during this season. "Hangad ko pa rin ang kaligtasan niyo at nawa ay ligtas at nasa maayos kayong kalagayan," she said. 'Sa mga patuloy na nagcocomment, nag memessage para magpakita ng pagsuporta, please know that i really appreciate each and everyone.' '[Twenty] years and counting... patuloy na mag lilingkod sa bayan. uulit-ulitin para sa bayan,' she added. She ended her post by saying, "Life is beautiful too. I choose to see beauty.'
