Two weeks ago, Paolo Bediones quietly disappeared as co-anchor of the TV5 late-night newscastAksyon Tonite (which airs starting at 10 o’clock) with Cheryl Cosim. Word spread that he was just going on indefinite leave.

It was the right thing to do, considering that, after his six-minute sex video went viral, it kept on replaying in the minds of televiewers, thereby distracting them from whatever Paolo was reporting. Only last week, a second one (this time 16-minute video, according to those who have seen it) surfaced on social media. That was too much for Paolo who admitted that those were shot when he was still with GMA. TV5 issued a statement supporting Paolo but just the same he volunteered to stay off-air.

Funfare was informed that Paolo has resigned as newscaster but remains as host of the Public Affairs show Demolisyon, while the NBI, upon Paolo’s request, continues to search for whatever evil mind has uploaded those videos in the Internet. Paolo’s resignation came on the heels of the revamp of the TV5 news.
