Q&A: Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Manny Mogato — ‘In my early days, I was reckless’

For 30 years, Manny “Bok” Mogato covered the police and defense beats, and everything from politics to foreign relations, sports, and entertainment, eventually bagging one of journalism’s top prizes, the Pulitzer in 2018, for his reporting on Duterte’s drug war along with 2 other Reuters journalists, Andrew Marshall and Clare Baldwin.

For Mogato it was time for him to “write it all down,” and so he did, launching the autobiography It’s Me, Bok! Journeys in Journalism in October 2024.
