Marc Logan, ABS-CBN’s prized reporter, has been honored as “Journalist of the Year” by the Rotary Club of Manila in recognition of his 12 years of reporting local oddities and other crazy stuff on primetime TV.
Logan, famous for his rapidfire and rhythmic way of delivering the news, was recognized for his keen eye for detail and nose for news, especially about funny stuff like “wrestling gay men, tribal street dancers, old ladies competing in beauty pageants, two-headed carabaos, etc.”
“Marc Logan makes everything seem funny to the point that it’s unfunny, annoying and repetitive. He makes fun of things that are not really amusing, and the way he reports it is
not even remotely funny, but he has been doing it for years,” read part of the citation.
“That is a really funny thing.”
Logan was cited for his TV Patrol coverage on such important local events like town festivals and record-breaking attempts for things like “biggest bilao of palabok” or “largest sisig plate,” among many, many, many others.
“Gay jokes, old lady jokes, fat lady jokes, toothless people jokes, dark-skinned people jokes – you name it, and Marc Logan has made it every night every year for the past 12 years,” according to Rotary.
Logan makes us “question our own ideas and concepts of humor and even our own intelligence because even though we rarely laugh at his inane jokes and senseless rhyming, he is
still at it, this unfunny big man, laughing like a hyena all the way to the bank,” Rotary added.
Upon accepting the award, Logan thanked ABS-CBN for allowing him to do his thing every night, and his family for being his “only fans.”
Good Times Manila recently had dinner with the Logan family to see what the famous newsman is really like in person.
Here is how the dinner went:
Marc Logan: Napakasarap ng ating ulam, sweetheart. Isang plato ng galunggong, dalawang lata ng corned beef at syempre pa, kangkong with bagoong. Ayayayay! Mukhang mananaba na
naman ako nyan! Ang tyan ko nga’y bilugan na tulad ng isang balloon. Bukas kailangan ko na yatang mag-gym kasama ng mga macho at seksing naroon! Naku naman, inay, hindi kaya ako
ma-out-of-place doon?
Logan’s wife: Ikaw, Marc Logan, huwag ka nang magreklamo dyan! Gwapo ka pa rin naman, parang si Brad Pitt lamang! Oha? Oha? Si Brad Pitt ka pag nakatalikod, si Tom Cruise pag
nakasideview, at pagnakaharap? Naku, mukha kang isang baluga! Joke lang naman, sweetheart! Hayan, kumain pa kayo dyan. May sinaing pa sa kusina, wag na kayong mahiya!
Logan’s son: Haynaku, inay, haynaku, itay, bukas kailangan kong maagang gumising pagkat pupunta kami ng aking barkada sa Boracay! Pahingi namang pangbaon nang hindi ako mamulubi
roon… Ay, P1,000 lang? Itay naman, parang hindi ka si Marc Logan! Nakakahiya naman kung ang anak mo’y pagtawanan ng mga kaibigan nya’t kachokaran! Ayayayay! Salamat sa P3,000,
itay! May pasalubong kayo sa akin na T-shirt at kung anek anek galing Boracay!
Logan’s daughter (adopted): Can’t you talk like normal people? My gosh! Nakakahiya sa bisita.
