Here, Davila shares with Tatler the things she’s proud of and her inspirations through the years.
What projects in the last two years are you most proud of? Why?
I have been a broadcast journalist for years now, and all the work I have done was with media giants, from GMA to ABS-CBN. In the last two years, I tried to expand my reach by doing a limited series podcast that reached number 1 and started my YouTube channel. I feel very proud of how the channel has turned out because of its content creation, which doesn’t stray too far from my equity as a journalist.
The growth of the channel in over a year has been so encouraging! I feel excited and passionate about the growth of this creative platform. I’m also happy the channel shares inspiring stories of people we know and life lessons that connect with spiritual wisdom.
