Bio
Samantha Lui
Silvio was a great mentor to me during my time at SCMP. He was fun to work with and was always willing to give career advice and insight into the TV journalism world. He also showed me the importance of online video and how to use a camera properly. As well, he gave me opportunities to film in various settings, including rallies and one-on-one interviews. With his guidance, I now feel more well-rounded as a reporter and more confident behind the camera.
Alfredo de Lara
Silvio is an outstanding journalist with a tireless work ethic. I was shooting on his team in Honduras immediately after the 2009 coup. The situations he was able to negotiate us into made me look like a rock star. He constantly managed to pull of one exclusive after another. His intimate knowledge of the country and his gift of persuasion paid off every time. There is a lot of bragging rights that can be claimed wherever he has been assigned, but simply put, Carrillo get gets it done. No excuses or long winded explanations for failure required. This guy is extremely reliable and understated.
