On October 26, internet personality Dr. Dex Macalintal highlighted the difference between social media and mainstream content.
In an exclusive interview with the newest hosts of TV5’s ‘Good Morning Kapatid,’ which LionhearTV covered, Macalintal cited the adjustments he made with the information he was sharing through his segment in the TV5 morning show.
“Nakakapanibago noong una kasi noong una akala ko, sobrang swift, pero no eh, with social media you control your own time. So ikaw kaya mong– I can go on and on for eight minutes, pero here, you have to be very concise, and you have to be very short and concise and then malaman dapat.
“So, dito, unti-unti pa rin akong natututo, I’m not saying na alam ko na lahat. Pero natututo pa rin ako sa mga kasamahan natin sa mga producers natin na paiksiin ang mga salita natin.”
He then noted the limitations he put on himself when sharing content through mainstream media.
“So mayroon ding mga content na di mo rin pwedeng sabihin sa TV kasi baka mamaya mapatawag tayo sa principal’s office pero sa social media, you can do almost everything. So ayun kasa-kasama ko din siya.”
Dr. Macalintal discussed his background in family medicine, lifestyle medicine, and nutrition.
“Background ko is family medicine, and I specialize in lifestyle medicine, and sub-subspecialize in nutrition. Kasi ako, I was a registered dietician before I became a doctor.”
He then hinted at what TV5 viewers can expect with his medical and nutrition segment in ‘Good Morning Kapatid.’
“Bilang doctor po na dati na rin tayong nasa ibang landas na entertainment, pero dahil doon, gusto natin ipagsama ‘yung pagbibigay ng impormasyon at kaunting entertainment din sa ating mga kapatid. At ginawa po natin ito sa ating social media.
“At noong mapunta tayo dito sa TV5, thankfully dito sa Good Morning Kapatid, gusto natin ibaba sa level na kaya ng mga tao kung ano ba ‘yung medisina, ano ba ‘yung panggamot, bakit mo ba kailangan uminom ng gamot at ano ‘yung bakit mo ba kinakailangan ng active goals in life. Kasi hindi naman natatapos ang panggagamot ng isang doctor sa isang simpleng papel lang. Kailangan mayroon pa rin tayong care at kailangan ikaw mismo, alam mo ‘yung ginagawa mo.”
