Jessica Soho Gets Another Big Flowers Moment — PeopleAsia Names Her One of 2026's Best

Jessica Soho just added another major honor to an already stacked career. The veteran Kapuso journalist was named one of PeopleAsia Magazine’s 'People of the Year 2026,' a recognition given to individuals seen as symbols of hope and moral courage.

The GMA report said Soho was honored in the media category, with PeopleAsia highlighting her four decades of groundbreaking work in journalism. She remains one of the Philippines’ most decorated and most trusted broadcast journalists, and the award adds to a long list of recognitions she has received through the years.

In an interview with Balitanghali, Soho said she was grateful but also felt the added weight that comes with the recognition. Aminado siya that awards like this bring more pressure to keep doing the job well and to live up to the public’s expectations.

She also said the honor felt especially meaningful, while stressing that there is still a lot of work to do. Soho spoke about continuing to seek answers for the public and confronting issues that fuel anger and hardship, including corruption and the rising difficulty of daily life.

At the same time, she reminded fellow journalists that the real fight is still about content and values. For Soho, verified information, strong reporting, and staying true to the principles taught in school and the newsroom remain the core of honest journalism — no shortcuts, walang eme.
