Professional life
Pulido became a household name when the whole nation watched her run across Malacaňang (the official residence of the Presidential Family) to her camera crew, keen on delivering the exclusive update on the Estrada family behind Palace gates. Her passion for the news extends to covering significant national issues. At the close of the Subic rape trial in December 2006, Pulido was again running in her effort to deliver the latest on the convicted US Marine as he was brought to the detention center, amid pressure from the foreigner's security escorts.
Pulido's zeal for reporting has won her both local and international acclaim. Her in-depth report on Filipinos who illegally enter Malaysia through the country's "backdoor" won the Silver Screen Award at the 2005 US International Film and Video Festival. The same story was also highly commended at the Asian TV Awards the same year. In 2007, the US International Film and Video Festival awarded third place to her reports entitled Slaughterhouse and Trigger. She has also had the honor of having two of her stories, Batang Kargador (Child Haulers) and Sex Slaves named Finalists at the New York Film Festival. In 2008, she won the Gold World Medal for Best Human Interest Story for Batang Kalakal.{{cite web|url=http://www.gmanews.tv/show/reportersnotebook/cast |title=Reporter's Notebook | Public Affairs | GMA News Online |publisher=Gmanews.tv |date= |accessdate=August 15, 2013}}
