The TV program "It's Morning, Philippines" had already started.
Iris Long and her entourage followed the program staff to a reserved dressing room. A television hung on the wall and played the program's live broadcast.
The language used in the program was mostly Tagalog, especially by the news anchors who reported on the more serious, latest news. The other hosts for the variety segments, however, used Taglish (a combination of Tagalog and English), especially the younger ones.
Due to Dom and the Chuas' influence in her life, Iris also learned a little Tagalog. She wasn't that proficient with the language yet, but she could at least understand most colloquial conversations.
The overall vibe of the program was quite light, casual, and fun. Even the news segments didn't focus too much on grave and solemn topics.
She found it interesting.
