Renouned star athlete, TV host and celebrity advocate Gretchen Ho has been officially announced in a virtual media conference last month as the newest addition to the growing roster of stars and personalities making the big move to the Kapatid network TV5 and the Philippines' largest pay TV service Cignal. The "Woman In Action" has already began her television comeback co-anchoring "The Big Story" alongside Roby Alampay every Monday to Friday at 8:00 pm on One News, joining TV5's newest flagship primetime newscast Frontline Pilipinas and slated to host and produce the television counterpart of her advocacy which will be aired soon on Cignal's One News and One PH.
"As we continue to strengthen our image as an innovator and as a network that is open to the best talents in the industry, we know that Gretchen Ho is a perfect fit to embody our vision of reaching out to a wider audience across various platforms," said Cignal TV and TV5 President Robert P. Galang. "She has noteworthy influence among the youth as a well-known TV personality and her advocacies have also extended her goodwill to underprivileged Filipinos. We are honored to introduce the multi-talented and multifaceted 'Woman In Action' as the newest member of our growing Cignal TV and TV5 family."
"Woman In Action" was launched in April 2020 and has become Gretchen's own brand and online platform. Driven by an active lifestyle of discovery through sports, adventure and public service, Gretchen represents a new generation of bright young talents who are using their platform to elevate causes bigger than themselves. Her advocacy efforts have helped those struggling to go to work during the height and onset of the community quarantine brought about by the negative effects of the pandemic and opened the public's consciousness on the benefits of biking in the country through her "Donate A Bike, Save A Job" campaign.
The #DonateABikeSaveAJob movement has provided hundreds of bikes to the most vulnerable during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines. Aside from bringing livelihood to those affected by the pandemic, beneficiaries from the said campaign also included Typhoon Rolly victims in Cagayan Valley and the metro and coastal areas of Naga City in Camarines Sur. Through her active advocacies and accomplishments, Gretchen's passion to create a culture of positivity makes her a perfect fit with her Cignal TV and TV5 family, with their corporate vision anchored on challenging traditional ways, finding synergies to make greater impact and always moving forward.
