Thank you to our viewers and followers and to the most creative and most hardworking KMJS staff and crew,” says Jessica. “We are as committed as ever to continue producing stories that not only enlighten and inspire our audiences and hopefully, change their lives for the better too. We thank especially our heroic OFWs who follow us online and who donate their hard-earned funds to our kababayans in need, as featured regularly in our stories. Mabuhay po kayo at maraming, maraming salamat!” she adds.

Changing lives, one story at a time

Over the years, KMJS has been consistently producing stories that inspire and make lasting marks on the lives of not only Filipinos but the rest of the world. Beyond storytelling, the public affairs program has been actively extending help to those in need.

One of the stories that recently made an impact on Kapuso viewers was that of a five-year-old boy from Dinas, Zamboanga del Sur, who was suffering from an unnaturally swollen stomach and was later diagnosed with an intestinal problem. After the feature in KMJS, he was admitted to the hospital and underwent a major operation, which improved his current condition a lot.

Last week, KMJS featured the inspiring story of Medy, an elementary teacher in Juban, Sorsogon. Despite the danger it entails, Medy crosses the deep Sorsogon Bay every day via boat to teach her students on the isolated Sablayan Island. 

Likewise, KMJS’ recent investigative story about the mining in Homonhon Island generated discussions online as Jessica flew to Guiuan, Eastern Samar to investigate the issue personally. 

With its inspiring stories, it is no surprise that KMJS continues to be recognized by different award-giving organizations. It has already won three awards this year.

At the 6th Gawad Lasallianeta Awards last January, KMJS was hailed as the Most Outstanding Magazine Show, while program host Jessica Soho was named the Most Outstanding Magazine Show Host.

Furthermore, last February, the show was recognized as Best Magazine Program in the 2024 Platinum Stallion National Media Awards.

KMJS also won the Best Public Affairs Program award, with Jessica Soho earning the Best Female News Personality award in the 1st Perpetualites Choice Awards last March.
