[WATCH] Korina Sanchez’s Controversial Typhoon Ruby Comment in TV Patrol

News anchor Korina Sanchez found herself once again in a controversy this year following her comment on a recent TV Patrol broadcast where she suggest Typhoon Ruby will hit Japan instead of the Philippines.

In their end-credit discussion on the TV news, Ted Failon discussed on the possible route of the storm, during their conversation on preparations for Typhoon Ruby, Sanchez said that Filipinos can still pray to God to spare the Philippines by changing its course.

Here’s how the conversation between Sanchez and co-anchor Noli de Castro went:

Korina: Kaya pa natin idasal yan para lumihis.

(We can still pray so that the typhoon will veer away)

Noli de Castro: Sana ay hati na lang tayo. Kalahati sa Pilipinas, kalahati sa Japan.

(Hopefully, only half the typhoon will hit us and the other half will hit Japan)

Korina: Puwede bang sa kanilang lahat?

(Is it possible for the entire typhoon to just hit Japan?)

Noli: Huwag naman.

(Hope not.)

Korina: Sa kanila na lang lahat. Parang mas kaya nila.

(Let Japan have it all. Looks like they’re more capable)
