He also appeared in 24 Oras as a substitute anchor for Mike Enriquez during his medical leave.[14]

Clavio also hosted public service programs Rescue and Alisto.

In February 2011, he became a solo newscaster on Balita Pilipinas.[15]

In March 2012, he was named as one of the 18 awardees at the 2nd UST AB Gantimpala Awards held at Club Filipino in Greenhills.[1] In December 2012, Clavio was inducted to the Eastwood City Walk of Fame for his work as a newscaster.[16][17]

Controversies

[edit]

On March 15, 2012, the Philippine Football Federation lodged a formal complaint with the GMA Network regarding allegedly "racist, discriminatory, libelous and malicious statements made by Clavio."[18][19]

In May 2013, after TV host Vice Ganda made a "rape joke" in reference to Clavio's fellow anchor Jessica Soho, Clavio came out in defense of Soho, expressing his disapproval of Vice's remarks.[20]

On November 6, 2013, Clavio came under fire for an interview conducted with attorney Alfredo Villamor on the morning talk show Unang Hirit. Villamor was standing in for Janet Napoles to discuss the "Pork Barrel scandal."[18]

In August 2020, former OFW Sarah Balabagan, who is now a host of a Las Vegas-based radio program, claimed in a Facebook livestream that Clavio was the father of her eldest child, and that their relationship happened when she was still 17 years old.[21][22] The revelation also sparked criticism on social media, with one Twitter user calling him "a pedophile".[23] Balabagan had clarified in her livestream that the revelation was not out of revenge, but to merely put rumors to rest.[24] She also added that she apologized to "everyone she hurt", including her family and Clavio's family, and that Clavio's wife forgave her through Facebook Messenger.[25][26]

On November 13, 2020, Clavio, along with his co-host Ali Sotto, earned the ire of netizens after he asked an 'insensitive' question towards a woman who was a victim of Typhoon Vamco (locally named Ulysses). Vamco brought heavy flooding and left Metro Manila and several parts of Luzon in devastation on Thursday, November 12. Among those who were affected by the flood was Angela Jardin whom the two asked, a resident from Provident Village in Marikina. She and five other people were stranded on the third floor of her house during the Typhoon's landfall. The conversation earned a lot of criticism from netizens who called out the radio anchors for being insensitive towards the victim. Netizens said it seems like he blamed the victim for choosing to stay in their house. Many netizens called out Clavio and Sotto for their "privilege" as they assume that others have options to find a better shelter.[27]

Personal life

[edit]

Clavio is married with three children. He has a daughter with Sarah Balabagan.

Clavio started the Igan Foundation, whose stated mission is to help those living in poverty and diagnosed with diabetic alopecia.[17][28]

In June 2024, Clavio disclosed that he had suffered a hemorrhagic stroke while driving home after playing golf on June 11. He also said he was on physical therapy and was expected to rehabilitate in one month or six weeks.[29] Clavio is also diabetic.[30]
