Jessica Soho resign as GMA News Vice President

GMA Network, Inc. announces the retirement of Jessica Soho after 30 long years of loyal, dedicated and outstanding service as an employee and First VP for News Programs.

Jessica has served the network well in various capacities as a news reporter up to 1988, production news manager (2000), acting news director (2002), VP for news (2004), VP for news programs (2008) up to her last promotion last year (2013) as First VP for news programs.

Under her leadership, GMA News became the leading and most credible broadcast news organization in the country with its premier newscast, 24 Oras ending competition’s ratings dominance shortly after it was launched in 2004.

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

Jessica also helped launch and establish all the other daily news programs on both GMA and GMA News TV as primary news sources in their time slots.

“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.

“We mean it when we say, walang kinikilingan. Walang pino-protektahan. Serbisyong Totoo lamang,” Jessica said.

Jessica is home-grown in GMA.

“I am a Kapuso through the core of my being. I have worked with only one network throughout my entire career because I truly believe in the network’s independence and professionalism,” she adds.

Although she is retiring from her news executive duties, Jessica stays on as a Kapuso talent as she continues to host her weekly-primetime top-rated and award-winning news magazine programs - Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho (KMJS) on GMA and Brigada on GMA News TV as well as anchor her nightly-news program State of the Nation (SONA), also on GMA News TV.

KMJS and SONA recently helped win for GMA Network, Inc. its fourth George FosterPeabody award for its coverage of Typhoon Yolanda.

SONA won Silver Medal in the US International Film and TV Festival (USIFV) also for its coverage of Typhoon Yolanda.

Brigada was given the Gold Medal and for the first time for the network and the Philippines, the much-coveted One World Medal.

Jessica was also recently named Most Trusted News Presenter by Reader’s Digest for the fourth consecutive year

“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 crewsfor the opportunity to lead them. It has been a great honor and privilege working with the best in the industry,” Jessica said.

“Although I am retired from my position, I will always be a proud member of GMA News and Public Affairs,” she adds.

Apple Watch- Weather app not working on watch

I just got the apple watch and all the apps seem to work. But the default weather app cannot retrieve any data. I just has the spinning dots. I looked on my phone and the app works and has follow access to my location. The other weather app I loaded works great but of course I can't add a third party app to the watch faces. Any suggestions? I had this issue, but was able to find out the cause and fix it. I normally use the Weather Channel app instead of the Apple Weather app, maybe you do too. On your iPhone, go into the Apple Weather app and make sure that you have a default city set up there. If you don't then add one, and that location will show up in the Apple Watch app and on the weather app on the Apple Watch. That's all I had to do to get mine working. Meanwhile, according to Christopher Jennings fron the Forum Board: I just had the same problem with my new watch and was able to fix it without all the resetting and unsyncing stuff. My fix was to go into the Appl...

How to Avoid Being a Victim of Facebook Hacked accounts

In 2022, my sister sent me a private message passed 6:00 pm asking me if I can lend her a money via GCash. Then when I asked her how much and I told her that I don't have a balnce on my GCash account and told her to ask our older siblings. She did not reply on her usual phase. Then five minutes later my brother drop a message on our group chat telling us that my sister's account is actually hacked. The hacker already took some amount via GCash from her friends and our relatives. The best tip I can give if your sibling, friends and/or relatives sent a message via Facebook PM asking to lend him/her money is to call him whether you are not aware his account was hacked or not. If he did not answer, chances are you are already dealing with the hacker. Some swindlers hack accounts of people and tap into their contacts to try to ask for money while disguising themselves as the account owner. Here are some tips from Globe's GCash on how to spot if your friends and family members a...
