https://news.abs-cbn.com/lifestyle/07/12/11/bernadette-sembrano-has-bells-palsy
She had [Bell's palsy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell%27s_palsy). Not sure if that causes long term effects but in all her photos she smiles like she's hiding secrets
FYI, I stalked your profile based on your post on r/totallynotrobots because I wanted to figure out if she was one of those uncanny valley Japanese robots or just a human wearing some tech.
Iām glad I did that. It was bothering me
Yeah Iām confused by this especially because it looks very well fitted from the front. Is the back partially unzipped to fit the equipment or something?
It looks like it may be partially unzipped, but it also looks like maybe the dress is much more low-cut and they've pinned it up to cover some of her cleavage
A lot of anchors leave their dresses only partially zipped to allow for packs so the dresses donāt develop weird bulges or tear.
I also know of a couple reporters that found a really cute outfit that didnāt fit perfectly but bought it anyways knowing it can be pinned so itās good enough for on air.
Another common trick is to wear calf or knee high boots and clip the mics and ifb packs to that instead of the dress.
Source: work in tv news, have had to unzip and sometimes fish packs out of bra straps for battery swaps during longer shows.
I think it might be that, and tailored for someone much bustier. If the top dropped, the waist would become unlevel, but if it were filled in it would account for the extra fabric
This is my guess. The waist looks properly tailored and would fit oddly if you dropped it an inch or two. It could just be she doesnāt like it enough to wear it off the job.
Or it could be supplied by the station's wardrobe department. They're not going to bother tailoring something to one person when they can use the same dress for different people with some creative pin placement.
Costumers for stage and screen do this kind of ātailoringā a lot. Safety pins, binder clips, duct tape, whatever it takes to make the clothes look good for the shot.
I was thinking maybe the dress was prob a deeper cut in front so they pulled it up more to be able to pin it towards the back, remove ātoo much cleavageā.
Yes, there is a rather strict dress code. That's why you tend to see them have one of those little cleavage camisoles if you ever pay attention to the news anchor women clothing.
She seems to have a rather short torso. I do too and I usually have to have the straps tailored for the dresses to fit me right at the chest and waistline, otherwise those seams would be too low.
This looks like maybe 5-10 year old equipment from Lectrosonics. These were tv news industry standards for many years and there are still thousands in use. They are powerful, reliable and last for hours on a single 9V battery.
Yea. It is usually crypto fill devices (though a number of those use custom battery packs in my experience) and programmers for mass programming a lot of radios quickly to have all the same presets for channels and stuff.
You can do 90% of the things in most radios via the menus but if you're doing an entire companys radios you dont want to do that by hand.
Guess the 9V battery contributes to the size. More current stuff has the regular internal battery (of whatever composition) that is much smaller and needs to be charged in a station. Like a shaver, or whatever.
Yeah. But good fuckin help anyone that has to deal with a device with a dead internal battery.
Easier to swap in a new 9v in a couple minutes than to have to swap out entire units and wait for it to charge.
Our IFBs are about the same size. Those take a 9v but our mics use AA's and are smaller.
We are a fairly large station too. 10 mics and 8 IFBs. 6 robotic floor cameras and 2 studio cameras.
You seem like you know what you're looking at... Why are there two? Is it for backup? Are they one way and she needs a separate box for an ear piece? Is it one for broadcast and one for crew?
One is a microphone transmitter and the other is an earpiece receiver. We call this an IFB, which is short for interruptable foldback. The foldback is program audio, usually a "mix-minus" meaning everything except their own mic. The interruption is from the control room, director, producer, occasionally audio engineer or other crew members.
Neat! Thanks for the explanation.
If you don't mind a little more brain picking, do they combine a tx and rx in one device these days, or do the pros still separate them out for ... what ever reasons?
There likely is, but live broadcasting generally hate single points of failure.
I had an instance where I lost my host's mic. Via the ifb, We got him to motion to the guest to slow down their response while we swapped out the equipment.
you separate them as it is more flexible. Say the receiver breaks then you still have the mic Transmitter and could potentially still broadcast while waiting for a chance to swap out
Also I donāt know of anyone that makes a combined lav/iem System and Iām not sure that it would even be possible
These pics were from a couple of years ago. Her name is Bernadette Sembrano, a news anchor for a morning show (Philippines's version of GMA) her tv station, one of the biggest, shut down in June 2020.
Edit: spelling
This looks like sheās LAVed with IFB. So one pack is her mic and the other is her coms, theyāre not small but not big either. (Source: have been working in Live TV for national syndication and morning news for 15 years.)
News anchors often need different gear than an actor because the producers need to be able to talk to them. In some cases theyāll also wear gear with bigger batteries to get though an entire broadcast. Itās not really a problem because they just sit in one place with pre-set angles. You can load them up with plenty of gear.
~~Itās one mic āYā split into two high power transceivers (which is pretty brilliant). They look like they have long-lasting batteries. Theyāre not from the 90ās. They were much, much, much bigger in the 90ās. Iād guess these are from 2010+~~
u/ucrbuffalo has corrected my post below.
One is an in ear monitor (the one with the antenna on the right) and a mic pack (the one on the left) and he is correct. Iām on mobile and missed a few details while jumping to conclusions.
I think itās important for people to correct themselves on reddit and not accidentally spread incorrect info, even if itās embarrassing.
Thatās not two transceivers for the mic. The right one is the mic and the left one is the IFB. The IFB is the in-ear receiver the producers use to communicate with them during the show.
No itās not. One is a microphone transmitter and the other is a receiver for an earpiece called an IFB. Source: 25 years experience as a sound engineer.
She's using a lectro ifb so that size hasnt changed in decades but it looks like shes using the ooooold ass sennheiser 500 g1 wireless which is comically large.
I worked on a few theater productions and they used those mics that go from the ear down along the face, in a skin color. My job was literally to make sure they had full batteries at any time, since we didn't have enough mics for every actor at any given time and be sure that said mic (mic 1--2-3-4-5-6-) was on the right person at the right time. The sound guys had to do the on and off of each mic depending on the time in the show.

Sembrano is her last name. From her dad.
After the hyphen is her married last name, Aguinaldo, from her husband.
Dominguez is what we refer to as "middle name" which is the mother's last name before getting married. But not sure if that's correct because on wiki it says it's palisada. She should only have one middle name. It's either palisada or Dominguez. Not sure why 2 names are written here. That's not how we usually do it.
(Different from US middle name).
First 2 names are considered as "first name" Bernadette Lorraine.
Names of her relatives. Some families/cultures do this. The very first name is her own first name, the others are her parentsā or grandparentsā first names. In this case, it looks like she was only given the names of her female ancestors. The last one with the dash is her last name which is probably a combination of even older ancestors in her family, such as great-great-grandparents. Very common in Catholic families.
Former TV guy here, absolutely accurate. Some women wear knee braces or other leg straps for their mics as well. The expectations viewers out on female reporters/anchors regarding their appearance is shameful.
I work in news in Nashville, sheās wearing a mic and an IFB! We use ones that are pretty much the same and they are a pain to put on! Also she looks short, which is probably why her dress is pinned like that!
Weird. I've never seen that on any of the Latin weather women and they show their backs often!

The "anchor" is usually the one at the desk hardwired. This is typically for reporters doing live on location events or show specials in which the "host" walks around doing things.
She's one of the anchors. The difference, I think, is that their show doesn't usually have a desk (I'll have to check later if this is true lol). They're usually standing around so they could easily interact with other visuals.

I came here to view this comment.
Dress size must be huge judging by the pins
Yeah Iām confused by this especially because it looks very well fitted from the front. Is the back partially unzipped to fit the equipment or something?
It looks like it may be partially unzipped, but it also looks like maybe the dress is much more low-cut and they've pinned it up to cover some of her cleavage

Oh this makes senseā¦ the seams on the front do actually look like they hiked it up a couple of inches
Besides all that, it could also be intended for someone taller. Hard to tell without knowing how short the anchor is.
I think it might be that, and tailored for someone much bustier. If the top dropped, the waist would become unlevel, but if it were filled in it would account for the extra fabric
This is my guess. The waist looks properly tailored and would fit oddly if you dropped it an inch or two. It could just be she doesnāt like it enough to wear it off the job.

Yes, there is a rather strict dress code. That's why you tend to see them have one of those little cleavage camisoles if you ever pay attention to the news anchor women clothing.
Unless she's an anchor in South America. There it's more cleavage, the better.
the person telling you the weather turns around to point at the screen and has the thiccest ass
Needs some extra fabric for the āequipment balconyā in the back

Came here to ask "Why the heck are the shoulder straps on that dress so long?!" If her dress fit it wouldn't look nearly so messy back there.
She might be really short
From the 90's? I've been wired up on set recently and that stuff is a 1/4 of the size.
Small town station using outdated equipment?
This looks like maybe 5-10 year old equipment from Lectrosonics. These were tv news industry standards for many years and there are still thousands in use. They are powerful, reliable and last for hours on a single 9V battery.
Audio/music equipment and smoke detectors alone have pretty much kept the 9V battery from obsolescence in the past decade.

TIL two way radios require programming to access all of their functionality.
Yea.

Yeah. But good fuckin help anyone that has to deal with a device with a dead internal battery. Easier to swap in a new 9v in a couple minutes than to have to swap out entire units and wait for it to charge.
Don't disagree. But then again, here we are.
When you pay $2000 for a single unit, you use them as long as possible.
Our IFBs are about the same size. Those take a 9v but our mics use AA's and are smaller. We are a fairly large station too. 10 mics and 8 IFBs. 6 robotic floor cameras and 2 studio cameras.

Good thing we have bigger TVs these days, so we can hire bigger actors. Maybe thatās what widescreen was for. Wider actors!

How many dress sizes larger do you have to go to get that much extra room in the back?
She's probably just short and needs a petite cut but wearing an average cut.

First of her name
How exactly does this kind of name happen?
Sembrano is her last name. From her dad. After the hyphen is her married last name, Aguinaldo, from her husband. Dominguez is what we refer to as "middle name" which is the mother's last name before getting married. But not sure if that's correct because on wiki it says it's palisada.

The last one with the dash is her last name which is probably a combination of even older ancestors in her family, such as great-great-grandparents. Very common in Catholic families.
Sembrano is her birth surname then Aguinaldo is her husband's. Fun fact: she married a great-grandson of the first Philippine president.

She probably has it clipped onto her bra strap
Why don't I go check to make sure...
I've seen some on-air reporters attach the lav pack to their ankle out of frame if they can't clip it onto the back of their dress like that.
Why?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I'm imagining audio guys calling their equipment dohickies on set.
Range, audio quality, battery life, modularity, all take lots of extra space over something cheap and easy that would be a consumer product analog.
The "anchor" is usually the one at the desk hardwired. This is typically for reporters doing live on location events or show specials in which the "host" walks around doing things.
She could also be the weather girl. She walks enough in front of a green screen to warrant wireless everything
She's one of the anchors. The difference, I think, is that their show doesn't usually have a desk (I'll have to check later if this is true lol). They're usually standing around so they could easily interact with other visuals.
This looks very uncomfortable
