Sumakabilang-buhay na ang isa sa mga beteranong mamamahayag na si Edwin Sevidal.
Nakilala bilang si ‘Radyo Patrol 37’, lampas dalawang dekadang nagsilbi si Sevidal sa radio station ng ABS-CBN na DZMM.
Ilan sa mga mahahalaga nitong naikober ay ang nangyaring Maguindanao Massacre (2009), pagpanaw ni dating DILG Secretary Jesse Robredo at ilang matitinding bagyo na tumama sa Pilipinas tulad ng Sendong at Pablo.
Bilang reporter, ilang award din ang nakuha ni Sevidal, kabilang na rito ang best field reporter sa KBP Golden Dove Awards.
Matapos ang pagsabak bilang reporter ay naging news gathering chief ng DZMM si Sevidal.
Bumuhos ang pakikiramay mula sa mga kasamahan sa industriya para bigyang pugay ang isa sa pinakamahusay na radio reporter sa bansa.

Kakatawa lang natin noong isang araw sa telepono.
‘Tas biglang iiwan mo na pala kami at papaiyakin.
Salamat, salamat ‘Dwin sa kabutihan mo at ang serbisyo mo para bayan.
Back to base na, #RP37.
Pahinga na.

This is going to be numbing for a long while. Paalam, Edwin Sevidal. You were a steady, silent force in the newsroom. RIP #RP37 .

I only have fondest memories with #RP37 Edwin Sevidal.
He was fatherlike to me in the newsroom. He was part of the panel who gave me a chance to be a reporter. I wasn‘t able to bid him farewell because of covid.
Truly, a huge loss to ABSCBN News.
You will be missed, sir!

Isa ka sa mga taong laging nangangamusta kapag nakikita mo ako sa newsroom. Lagi mo pang ginagaya ang extro ko para mang-asar, sir.
