Following the controversial comment of Korina Sanchez on Anderson Cooper’s Tacloban report about typhoon Yolanda recovery on Wednesday, November 13, 2013, CNN is backing up its number one news anchor.
On the photo below, Korina Sanchez flashed on the big screen during CNN’s episode “The World Lead” with caption “How dare you, CNN?”
The dispute all started when Sanchez made a comment on her morning radio show DZMM about the report coverage of CNN anchor Anderson Cooper.
According to Cooper, there’s “No evidence of organized relief and rescue operation around Tacloban. I haven’t seen much of relief effort, I haven’t seen a large military presence.”
Korina Sanchez said Cooper “doesn’t know what he is talking about.”
In response, Cooper said, “Miss Sanchez is welcome to go there and urge to go there. I don’t know if she has but her husband is in-charge I’m sure she can arrange her flight.”
Sanchez is the wife of DILG Sec. Mar Roxas who has been appointed to lead the rescue and relief operation in Tacloban.
Here’s what netizens have to say to Korina’s remarks on Anderson Cooper’s Haiyan recovery coverage.

I must thank Mr. Anderson Cooper for his constructive reporting. His reports kept government on their toes to speed up order and system. After reading several explanation from Mr. Cooper. I hope he will keep the issue to rest and focus back to his reporting on what is happening on the ground. That goes true also with Ms. Sanchez. – Tere Cabal

Thank you Anderson Cooper!! That’s a wake up call to all the Government Officials in the Philippines!! They’re more worried about their image than the lives of the people who are suffering from the typhoon.. Thank you for all the America and Other Countries!! The Filipino People are thankful for all the help you have given. – Beatrice Araneta
