Near-Death Experiences, Undercover Crimes, Seeing a 9-Year-Old Prostitute, War and Conflict Coverage

What does it really take to be a news cameraman? In this episode, I sit down with Pedro Postrero III to talk about the untold risks, sacrifices, and life behind the camera in the world of news and journalism. From working with GMA Network in the Philippines, Pedro shares his experiences covering dangerous stories, going undercover for sensitive operations, documenting prostitution cases, witnessing war and conflict zones, and seeing moments most people will never experience in their lifetime.
