Kapuso Jessica Soho Officially Announced Her Retirement As GMA Executive

Tags

Manila, Philippines - After thirty (30) long years of loyal, excellent and dedicated service for the GMA Network Inc. formally announces her retirement as the First Vice President for News Programs as well as an employee of their company.

A very short summary of her service:


  • News Reporter up to 1988
  • Production News Manager in 2000
  • Acting News Director in 2002
  • Vice President for News in 2004
  • Vice President for News Programs in 2008
  • First Vice President for News Programs in 2013
It was under her term when the GMA News was known to be the most credible broadcast news organization in the Philippines with, of course, 24 Oras, which dominated the ratings in no time after it was first aired in 2004.

SAKSI also became an even stronger brand through the years and continues to dominate in its timeslot.

“I am most proud of the fact that under my watch, the credibility of GMA News became even stronger. Filipinos watch us because they know we can be trusted to deliver accurate, objective and balanced reporting because we have no political agenda or biases and we have consistently proven that through administrations, past and present.” -Jessica Soho

Jessica is retiring with her executive duties (for being a First VP for News Programs) but she will stay as a Kapuso talent. Meaning, she will continue to host her award-winning TV news programs such as Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho (KMJS) on GMA 7 and BRIGADA as well as her State of the Nation (SONA) both on GMA News TV.

She also posted a heart-warming message to her Facebook Fan Page just today.
"I can never thank the network enough for everything it has given me and my family. I especially thank all my mentors—my bosses and cameramen in our old newsroom as well as my colleagues now—fellow managers, producers, reporters, talents and crews for the opportunity to lead them. It has been a great honor and privilege working with the best in the industry."-- Jessica Soho
