5 times Nico Waje made typhoon coverage a little less gloomy
Posting updates from town situations around the Philippines, Nico's comment section is filled with netizens calling him 'love,' 'babe,' 'the king of updates,' and the 'pambansang boyfriend.' They've also been reminding him to take extra care.
Covering typhoons and disasters is never an easy thing — both for the news team delivering the information and for the audiences watching them. So thank heavens for someone like Nico Waje who is able to make delivering the news seem a little less difficult, and receiving the news a little less of a gloomy experience.
Here are five of Nico's best moments:
1. From Brgy. Sapang Bayan, Calumpit, Bulacan
Nico updated netizens about the situation in the Brgy. Sapang Bayan in Calumpit, Bulacan as he waded through a flooded area, jacket zipped up and umbrella in tow. While his TikTok video showed homes and townspeople in knee-high floods, netizens reminded him to take care.
'Gusto ko talaga yung nag uupdate sakin eh, sige love ingat ka,' a netizen said.
2. From Taft Avenue corner United Nations, Manila
Nico's situationer between Taft Avenue and United Nations in Manila is quite the popular video as he explained how clogged drainage systems resulted in floods. As he gave updates on how the local government unit of Manila was in the area to clean out the gutters, one netizen hilariously said, 'Nico, ako naman nasa Antipolo. Baka gusto mo din mag-report from here.'
3. From Brgy. Saplad David, Macabebe, Pampanga
On GMA News' TikTok page Monday, Nico reported from a bangka in the already-flooded Brgy. Saplad David, Macabebe, Pampanga.
Netizens couldn't help but swoon over the journalist, who was drenched wet, thanking him for updates and once again telling him to take care. A netizen even called Nico the Pambansang BF.
4. Live reports
Nico also posts his live reports on '24 Oras" like his situation report from Macabebe, Pampanga, for which fans thanked their 'babe.'
'Ingat guys! Masama ang panahon hanggang Thursday,' Nico said in his TikTok caption.
5. Offcam outfit checks

Nico gave a glimpse of what happens behind the scenes during a typhoon coverage with fit check video. A barefooted Nico was seen dressing up in waterproof pants and GMA Integrated News' waterproof jacket. To top it all off, he also wore a waterproof jumper and rainboots.
With another filled comments section, Nico told supporters, 'Guys! I'm trying to read all your comments. Please know that I appreciate you all! Mag-ingat please! Lab u!'
In its early Wednesday bulletin, PAGASA said Tropical Depression Dante is maintaining its strength as it moves northwestward over the Philippine Sea. Rains brought by Habagat is also forecast to continue bringing moderate to sometimes intense rains over Metro Manila and several provinces.
As always, a reminder to keep safe, mga Kapuso. — LA, GMA Integrated News

Rain in NCR on SONA Day possible as Habagat continues to affect PH
A SONA 2025 sign hangs near the entrance of the House of Representatives at the Batasan Complex in Quezon City. GMA Integrated News The Southwest Monsoon, locally known as Habagat, will continue to bring occasional rains over parts of the country on Monday—including in Metro Manila, where President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. is set to deliver his fourth State of the Nation Address (SONA). According to state weather bureau PAGASA's Sunday forecasts, the Habagat is expected to bring occasional rains to the Ilocos Region, Zambales, Bataan, and Occidental Mindoro. PAGASA said the Habagat is also seen to bring cloudy skies with of isolated rains or thunderstorms to Metro Manila, the Cordillera Administrative Region, the Cagayan Valley, Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, the rest of Central Luzon, and the rest of MIMAROPA. The rest of the country is projected to experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rains or thunderstorms. Tropical Depression Emong (international name: Co-may) exited the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) on Saturday morning, but PAGASA is now monitoring Severe Tropical Storm Krosa. Krosa was last seen 2,395 kilometers east of extreme northern Luzon, with maximum sustained winds of 110 kph near the center, and gustiness of up to 135 kph, moving northward at 15 kph. A number of local government units (LGUs) have already suspended classes due to inclement weather conditions. In Metro Manila, the National Capital Region Police Office said that nearly 23,000 police personnel have been deployed for security measures during the event. These include more than 10,000 in Quezon City, according to Mav Gonzales' report on 24 Oras Weekend. The Batasang Pambansa Complex, where Marcos will deliver his SONA, is already on lockdown, with security personnel inspecting incoming vehicles, while a city-wide liquor ban will be enforced. The MMDA, meanwhile, said that it will set up counterflow measures on Commonwealth Avenue to deal with traffic. If it rains, "Naiayos na natin ang drainage inlet sa Commonwealth," MMDA Chairman Romando Artes said. "Temporarily lalagyan namin may mga mobile pumps tayo sa MMDA, tututukan muna namin para maibato, papunta sa creek ang tubig sa Commonwealth." (We have fixed the drainage inlet on Commonwealth. We have temporarily put mobile pumps that we will point so that the water from Commonwealth will go into the creek.) Marcos's SONA will be held after days of rains from the Habagat as well as Tropical Storms Crising, Dante and Emong affecting parts of the country, particularly in Luzon. In light of the widespread effects of the weather, some sectors and officials have called for doing away with some SONA traditions, including the red carpet. — Jon Viktor D.
