Former Teka Teka reporter Bella Perez-Rubio reflects on her journey from traditional newsrooms to audio journalism, sharing why she left legacy media at the height of the 2022 elections and found a new voice through podcasting. In this candid conversation, Bella talks about covering the Duterte and Marcos administrations, the ethical compromises journalists face, and how platforms like PumaPodcast helped her reclaim purpose in a shifting media landscape.

Now headed to New York University for a master’s in journalism, Bella opens up about burnout, growth, and why staying true to your values matters more than ever in today's chaotic media environment.
