Took the Fujifilm X-E5 for a spin in Paris, and it has been spun 😀 Still getting used to this new way of shooting, but I’m really enjoying it. My eye keeps getting pulled back to the same things: light, shadow, and the spaces in between. More photos to come! by @atomaraullo

As #AtomAraullo enters another chapter of his career, he has begun to reflect on the responsibilities of his role as a journalist, especially as it relates to serving the Filipino people. “I think the more important question becomes, ‘Why is this job important?’” Araullo explained. “How can I make a bigger impact in people’s lives? It is precisely the importance of journalism in public life that makes it important to fight for.”

Atom Araullo for Rolling Stone Philippines’ Voices Issue is now available for pre-order on @sarisari_shopping, and in major newsstands soon.

Over the course of his career, #AtomAraullo has served as a broadcast journalist for ABS-CBN and GMA (where he currently hosts the news show, “State of the Nation”), the lead on documentary series such as “i-Witness” and “The Atom Araullo Specials,” the co-founder of independent news platform FYT, and a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.

In 2024, Araullo reached another milestone when he became the first in the country to win a civil case against his red-taggers, marking the first known application of a Supreme Court ruling that recognized red-tagging as a harmful, constitutional threat.

“We’re always taught in journalism to stay a fair distance away from the story that you’re doing,” Araullo tells Rolling Stone Philippines. “Pero minsan kailangan nating bumaba mula sa proverbial ivory tower, and put some skin in the game. We always talk about the importance of democracy. We always ask our audience to take some kind of risk in order to protect that democracy. We should be willing to take that risk, too.”

Pahabol sa 2016 nostalgia. Sitting around today, I realized, I really HAD a year. I traveled a bit, had some excruciatingly good experiences, spent time with unforgettable people, grew, stumbled, and took some photos along the way.

It was, without a doubt, a year. And it’s bittersweet to see how far we’ve come.

Here’s to looking back at 2026, ten years from now, with the same kind of fondness.

Atom Araullo just turned 43—can you believe it?—and weeks before he did, SPOT sat down with the award-winning broadcast journalist and held his hand in a "taking stock" session of sorts. "I feel like I’m more patient, and less anxious about work. In fact parang feeling ko mas okay pa 'ko now in my 40s than in my 20s and 30s," he said. "It’s a nice age to be in." He's also still doing what he loves best: telling the stories of the Filipino experience one documentary at a time. He's even immortalized some of these stories recently in another medium: books. So in this edition of #SpotWeekender, @atomaraullo not only gets to look back on his life (we also asked his mother to chime in), his jock slash bulakbol years, and his favorite coverages, but also about the writing that went into this latest feather in his already feather-filled cap. Link in bio for the full story.

Journalist Atom Araullo’s first book, “A View from the Ground,” is a collection of narrative journalism pieces and photographs from Araullo’s work with GMA Public Affairs and the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism.

“A View from the Ground” thus works as a record for present and future generations to look through to see how much the country has or hasn’t progressed. Araullo admits he didn’t assume the book would have that value, but that he appreciated UP Press for seeing it when he submitted the manuscript.

“I’ll encourage other journalists to explore this kind of storytelling, this kind of reportage,” he said. “I’m quite privileged that I’m able to set aside some time to write and to put together this book. But there are a lot of fantastic, amazing storytellers and investigative journalists out there. And I hope that more people get into this space.”

I saw this young mother fighting hard to shield her newborn baby from the rain at the Tacloban airport 10 years ago. This was probably on the 4th or or 5th day after Typhoon Yolanda made landfall. People were desperate to leave the utterly devastated city. I later learned that the two made is safely to Manila.

Dalawang bagay ang pumapasok sa isip ko ngayong ika-10 anibersaryo ng bagyo. Una, shet ang bilis ng oras. Pangalawa, may konting pangamba. Ang bilis din kasi natin makalimot eh. Ready na kayo tayo sakaling mangyari uli ito? Sana, pero sa totoo lang hindi ako sigurado. by @atomaraullo
