MIKE’S HEALTH: “You’re really good in acting,’’ thus says Tita Babes, wife to Mike Enriquez on the latter’s back-to-normal performance on his radio and TV programs.
Mike himself tells us this aside as we spoke at a GMA radio event announcing DZBB’s expansion of its Radyo na, TV Pa platform.
We couldn’t help but agree with Mike’s wife. The veteran anchorman’s delivery of news and public service on his programs, “Saksi” and “24 Oras,” never changed one bit following his quadruple by-pass in 2018.
Mike says he’s not exactly in the pink of health just yet. Thrice a week, he undergoes dialysis, a condition that often leads to mixed feelings of uneasiness and discomfort. He looks forward to a kidney transplant operation soon.
“Feeling ko, lutang,’’ he said.

We assure Mike such a feeling isn’t transmitted on his broadcasts. His audience never miss the high-strung, powerful barker tone that marks his performance.
“Maybe I’m really a good actor, after all,’’ he laughed.
