NAGPAALAM na ang broadcast journalist-news anchor na si Rhea Santos sa Kapuso morning show na Unang Hirit matapos ang 19 years.
Sa Canada magma-migrate si Rhea kasama ang pamilya at muli siyang mag-aaral doon, “Broadcast and online journalism which I think is very timely because everything is going digital. I’m going back to being a student.
“It’s a second degree and there’s an opportunity to bring the whole family. I’m only 40 and I know that I can still do more. I’m willing to learn. It would be a big regret if I don’t try,” mensahe ni Rhea.
Ito naman ang message niya sa lahat ng mga Kapuso, “They have accepted me 19 years ago. Bago pa lang ako noon, nagkakamali pero natututo sa pagkakamali, pero binigyan nila ko ng pagkakataon para matutuo, para gawin ‘yung pinangarap kong gawin.
“Thank you for opening your homes to me every morning–for drinking your coffee with me, for eating your breakfast with me, bago pumasok sa eskwela, bago pumasok sa opisina. Maraming, maraming salamat,” sey pa ni Rhea.
“What will I miss? Of course, the friendship, barkadahan. Pero sabi ko naman, ‘yung friendship hindi nawawala ‘yan. Physically, of course, magiging absent ako dito pero we have a lifetime of friendship to hold on to,” lahad pa ng news anchor.
Nag-start siya bilang segment producer sa beauty at fashion features ng Unang Hirit hanggang sa maging regular host na siya sa programa.
