She and GMA had issues with a TV show she is hosting - exposing alleged graft and corruption of a government official, which the network had delayed airing but with certain disclaimer that made her walk-out on an evening news cast.

On August 3, 2015, she was named permanent co-anchor of the weekday editions of TV Patrol, succeeding Korina Sanchez who left due to Mar Roxas's impending presidential campaign, according to news website medianewser.com.
