Pinuri ni GMA Kapuso Primetime King Dingdong Dantes ang trending at isinagawang presidential interviews ni award-winning broadcast journalist Jessica Soho na napanood noong Enero 22, 2022 sa GMA Network.
Aniya, pinatunayan daw ng naturang panayam kung ano ang magagawa ng 'responsible journalism' sa paghulma ng mga perspektibo at mga kasalukuyang realidad.
"Presidential interview(s) highlighted how responsible journalism can help shape perspectives & present reality. It started with candidness and evolved into an in-depth scrutiny of complex issues that were made simpler and easier to digest for Filipinos. Diretso sa punto. Walang paligoy-ligoy. It didn’t fail to lay out the real situation of our country: from Climate Change…to poverty & corruption…to our COVID response," ani Dingdong sa kaniyang latest Instagram post.

"It was also a much needed forum to level off the playing field as it put out hard but very important questions for our presidential hopefuls. Lumitaw ‘yung may plano. Naging obvious kung sino ang pasok sa iyong kasalukuyang hinahanap."
Para kay Dong, ang magaganap na halalan sa 2022 ang isa sa mga pinakamahahalagang halalan na magaganap sa kasaysayan, lalo't nahaharap ang bansa at buong mundo sa pandemya.
"Having been born in the early 80’s, I think, this is one of the most important elections of our lifetime. Whoever we choose will dictate how we will recover from the global beating this pandemic has caused us."
Nagbigay naman ng mga 'takeaways' o mga natutuhan sa napanood na panayam si Dong na ibinuod niya sa tatlo: PLAN, DISCERN, AT ACT.
"Of course, I have my own preference. But this is a product of a process that I’d like to share with young people today."
"PLAN. Bago mamili ng iboboto, please make sure you do your research at siguraduhin ang integridad ng source of information. Hindi sapat na magsaliksik lang sa social media. Manood ng interviews kagaya na lang ng sa GMA. You have to go out there and search for what you think you and your country needs."
"DISCERN. Don’t look at winnability or popularity. Search for integrity, competence and commitment to the values of humanity. Be sensitive not only to your own circumstance, but also to the plight of your countrymen. Your generation and the next ones will depend on our decisions today."
"ACT. Lastly, go out and vote.Claim your role as responsible citizens. You have a role in our society’s quest 4 genuine good governance."
Makatutulong umano ang paghahanap ng mga valid at reliable resources kagaya nina Jessica at buong team niya upang mas malinawan pa sa mga bagay-bagay, kagaya na lamang ng pagkilatis sa mga napipisil na kandidato.
"And while we wait for that big day, we should continue looking for helpful and valid resources such as what Jessica and her Team have delivered to us last night. We are what we consume. That’s why we have to be mindful of what we feed our mind."
"While everyone can be an agent of information dissemination in a highly globalized world, there are still institutions who are raising the bar for media and public service. Last night was a showcase of how it should be done."
