He currently co-anchors GMA Network's late-night newscast, Saksi, with Pia Arcangel (formerly with Vicky Morales), and hosts a morning radio show called Dobol A sa Dobol B on DZBB with Ali Sotto. He also writes a column entitled Hirit Na! for the tabloid newspaper Abante.
Whilst in school, Clavio was a member of his school newspaper's editorial staff. In college, he studied journalism at the UST Faculty of Arts and Letters (UST-AB).
After graduating, Clavio worked as a news writer at DWIZ. After a year, he became a field reporter for GMA Network's flagship radio station, DZBB.
Clavio made his first appearance as a television news reporter in 1994, when GMA offered him a reporter's slot in Brigada Siete, co-hosting with the late Louie Beltran and Jessica Soho. The next year, the Philippine Department of Health awarded Clavio top prize in their Philippine AIDS-STD Media Awards for his report on Sarah Jane Salazar. Later that year, the Asian Broadcasting Union named Clavio's coverage of Abu Sayyaf the "Best Reportage of a Crisis."
