I first shared the anchor seat with the iconic &#x27;Booma&#x27; in 1995 during GMA7’s election coverage, then <em>Saksi’</em>s 15 min newscast to its 30 min version ‘til 1999,&quot; she said.</p><p>Karen highlighted that Mike was very kind and full of humility. </p><p>&quot;Mike was a good guy. Down to earth. Funny. Magaan ka-trabaho, napakasaya kasama.
